Jonathan Symons is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Macquarie University, Sydney.
`A valuable and timely contribution to the study of environmentalism. Given the seriousness of global climate change, this book provides a window into how ecomodernism fits within the broader framework of contemporary environmental thought.' Jennifer Moore Bernstein, University of Southern California `This book is a much-needed corrective to the misconception of ecomodernism as neoliberal techno-optimism. Symons locates ecomodernism firmly within the tradition and logic of social democracy by advancing its most urgent, practical argument - that state-directed low-carbon innovation must be at the heart of our climate response.' Steve Rayner, University of Oxford
