The Green State in Africa

The Green State in Africa
by Carl Death
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0300215835 | 381 Pages | PDF | 22.5 MB

A provocative reassessment of the relationship between states and environmental politics in Africa.

From climate-related risks such as crop failure and famine to longer-term concerns about sustainable urbanization, environmental justice, and biodiversity conservation, African states face a range of environmental issues. As Carl Death demonstrates, the ways in which they are addressing them have important political ramifications, and challenge current understandings of green politics. Death draws on almost a decade of research to reveal how central African environmental politics are to the transformation of African states.

“This book is a must read - it clearly shows that the environment is not a secondary concern for African states; it draws together apparently disparate debates on green states and African states for the first time, to produce an engaging and highly original analysis.”
— Rosaleen Duffy, author of Nature Crime: How We’re Getting Conservation Wrong
