Development studies; Global warming; Social impact of environmental issues; Sustainability

Environmental and developmental challenges are often framed by the global and planetary scale, but in a vague or apolitical manner. This book develops a much-needed, theoretically rigorous and politicised concept of the planetary scale within the field of environment and development.
