Cover A Research Agenda for Environmental Geopolitics
A Research Agenda for Environmental Geopolitics
Editor:
Shannon O’Lear
Challenging the mainstream view of the environment as either threatening or valuable, this book considers how geographic knowledge can be applied to offer a more nuanced understanding. Framed within geopolitics and using a range of methodologies, the chapters encapsulate different approaches to demonstrate how selective forms of knowledge, measurement, and spatial focus both embody and stabilize power, shaping how people perceive and respond to changing features of human-environment interactions.

Cover Tapping the Oceans
Tapping the Oceans
Seawater Desalination and the Political Ecology of Water
Editors:
Joe Williams
and
Erik Swyngedouw
Increasingly, water-stressed cities are looking to the oceans to fix unreliable, contested and over-burdened water supply systems. Desalination technologies are, however, also becoming the focus of intense political disagreements about the sustainable and just provision of urban water. Through a series of cutting-edge case studies and multi-subject approaches, this book explores the political and ecological debates facing water desalination on a broad geographical scale.
