Environmental Citizenship (The MIT Press)

Andrew Dobson

Texto en inglés. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Buen estado de conserv Promoting environmental citizenship as a path to achieving sustainability?encouraging people to act according to the public environmental good?offers an alternative to the mainly market-based incentives used by most governments today. This book considers the theory and practice of environmental citizenship, the obstacles to its realization, and the opportunities it presents for bringing about environmental and social sustainability. The multidisciplinary perspective?drawing on work in sociology, political theory, philosophy, psychology, and education?and the variety of approaches (from high theory to ethnographic studies) all converge on the relationship between citizenship and sustainability. Placing environmental citizenship in the two-thousand-year tradition of citizenship itself, the book considers the nature, possibilities, and limits of citizenship as a way of promoting sustainability.\n\nación.
