Zusatztext 'In Environmentalism and Global International Society, Robert Falkner, a leading theorist of the English School in international relations scholarship, offers a comprehensive account of global environmental politics through providing a detailed historical perspective on the emergence of environmental stewardship as an international norm up to the present. In debates often legitimately dominated by notions of the Anthropocene, planetary thinking, global climate disruption and 'earth system' governance, Falkner offers a counternarrative that reminds us of the still relevant pluralistic 'society of states' and the traditional 'great powers'. Environmentalism and Global International Society is the central and most comprehensive reformulation of English School theory for the planetary socioecological crisis of our time.'
