Irish Environmental Politics After the Communicative Turn, Hardback Book

Irish Environmental Politics After the Communicative Turn Hardback

Edited by Patrick O'Mahony

Hardback

Description

This book applies social and political theory to the field of environmental politics in Ireland.

It offers both a substantive contribution to understanding environmental politics in this country and a test case of the application of theory within the field of environmental scholarship more generally.

The essays are integrated by a concern for analysing the relationship between culture, discourse and action in this political field, hence the emphasis on the communicative turn.

The book is innovative in offering a sustained application of social and political theory within environmental scholarship as well as in combining theoretical and empirical approaches to advancing environmental scholarship in a particular case.

This synergy of theory and substantive analysis is a key feature of the book and offers an important contribution to the environmental literature in the social sciences.

The authors apply key developments in the modern social sciences and offer compelling evidence of their value for clarifying the cultural foundations of political action and for its evaluation and critique.

Academics in the social sciences and in philosophy, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate, both in Ireland and beyond, will find this book highly rewarding for its multi-faceted application of social and political theories and associated methodologies to the environmental field. -- .
