ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS
Scale and Power
In this book Shannon O Lear brings a geographer s perspective to the
important subject of environmental politics. Our thinking about specific envi¬
ronmental problems tends to be locked in at particular spatial scales, which
limits our understanding of how those issues have been created, maintained, or
hidden from view. This book considers issues of climate change, oil and energy,
food security, toxins, waste, and resource conflict to explore how political,
economic, ideological, and military power have contributed to the generation
of environmental issues and the formation of dominant narratives about them.
The book encourages the reader to think critically about the power dynamics
that shape (and limit) how we think about environmental issues and to expand
the reader s understanding of why it matters that these issues are discussed at
particular spatial scales. Applying a geographer s sense of scale and power
leads to a better understanding of the complexity of environmental issues and
will help formulate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
The book will appeal mainly to advanced students and researchers of
environmental politics from a geography background but will also appeal
to social and political scientists who wish to look at the topic from this
different perspective. Although the book reviews and applies theoretical
concepts of scale and power, it limits the use of jargon and presents ideas
and information in a style accessible to a broad audience.
Shannon O Lear is a Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at
the University of Kansas. Her research has focused on energy, environment,
and politics in the South Caucasus. She has also published on environmental
terrorism, territorial conflict, and genocide. She teaches courses on environ¬
mental policy, environmental geopolitics, and on Russia and Eurasia. She has
won a prestigious W. T. Kemper Fellowship for her teaching and her work
with students. She is an active member of the Association of American
Geographers (AAG) and has served as President of the Political Geography
and the Russian, Central Eurasian and East European specialty groups of
the AAG. In addition to her teaching and research, Dr. O Lear is active
in outreach to encourage students to become more thoughtfully engaged in
geography and environmental studies. She is highly respected by both faculty
and students as an outstanding researcher, teacher, and mentor.
