Environmental issues and questions of global change are now firmly established on the international political agenda. This book provides a wide-ranging survey of the current treatment of environmental issues in international relations. This book begins by looking at the relevance of the different theoretical approaches current in international relations to the study of the environment. It analyzes a wide range of approaches from the debate between neo-realism and liberal institutionalism to the significant connections between gender and global environmental change.
