There are very few social scientists involved in the global sustainability discussion, and this is reflected in the fact that so little of any sense gets said about the politics and social dynamics of the current polycrisis and the transitions underway to more sustainable modes of production and consumption. I have been searching for something satisfying to read in recent months that connects my social science interests to the global sustainability and ‘green economy’ discussions. Finally something has just come out that goes a long way towards what I was looking for. This is what the authors say in the Introduction: “What is often missing, however, is attention to the politics that are inevitable implied by disruptive change of this nature: questions of institutional change and policy, as well as more profound shifts in political power. This is the starting point for this book.” Ah, fresh air at last, at last! Have a look at The Politics of Green Transformations edited by Ian Scoones, Melissa Leach and Peter Newell, published by Routledge Earthscan, 2015.
