{"product_id":"empires-of-sustainability-joseph-murphy-9781032478470","title":"Empires of Sustainability: People and Planet after Globalisation","description":"\u003cp\u003eFocussing on the greening of imperialisms and empires, \u003ci\u003eEmpires of Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e analyses the shift around the world from denial of the environmental crisis to action to prevent catastrophe, and the resulting implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvidence of this shift is clear in widespread and purposeful social change which is gathering momentum. The book explains how globalisation accelerated us towards the crisis, and today, even as its own legitimacy is being questioned, is evolving through solutions and responses to it. Looking ahead and as the environmental crisis worsens, two possible futures are discerned and explored. One is that through universal actions to save the planet, shaped by interweaving political and economic forces, the hegemony of globalisation is restored, albeit in a green form. The other is that the world reorganises into competing spheres of influence, with politics, economics and the environment interwoven differently in each case. In these ways, we face the prospect of one or more Empires of Sustainability emerging over the decades ahead, unless we build a better alternative society. The author presents an alternative: a more diverse World of Caring Places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis accessible book will appeal to students and scholars of international political economy, sustainability and environmental studies, and analysts, policy makers, campaigners and others concerned about the future of relations between people and planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Murphy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032478470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032478470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.40d","brand":"Joseph Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897621537023,"sku":"9781032478470","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_885df167-0b22-4b7f-8ffd-2ddd06c10843.jpg?v=1721374354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empires-of-sustainability-joseph-murphy-9781032478470","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
