Climate Leviathan

More about the book

In light of the current ecological crisis, questions arise about the nature of sovereignty and its ability to fulfill its traditional roles amidst global challenges. Can national sovereignty effectively address this crisis, and can 'political realism' engage with ecological issues? These pressing inquiries are tackled by Joel Wainwright and Geoff Mann. The authors argue that dismantling the existing system may be necessary to confront the clear and urgent problems we face. Urgent and thought-provoking, this work serves as a crucial guide for navigating climate politics in the turbulent years ahead. As we grapple with escalating challenges, this book is essential for setting a course for the future. It presents a compelling political theory for climate justice that is both accessible and deeply committed to the cause. This intervention is vital for understanding the philosophical dimensions of climate change, prompting a reevaluation of our political assumptions. If capitalism continues to prevail without addressing climate change, the future remains uncertain. While predictions are impossible, this work provides a bold framework for considering our potential paths forward.
