But what does this transition look like when dictated by the energy and resource demands of monopoly tech? How has this situation come to be? And where is it being resisted?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This provocative book uncovers the hidden intersections of land, resource extraction and climate policy in the transition to \"greener\" and \"smarter\" economies. Challenging eco-modern and techno-solutionist approaches, the book links narratives of sustainability with colonial histories and uneven development, arguing that tech-driven transitions replicate exploitative patterns of imperial capitalism. Using Ireland as a focal point, the authors show how the history and depth of the country's postcolonial dependency on multinational investment, especially US technology companies, comes into friction with disparate land-based struggles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Thinking with these movements, the book offers a critique of dependent models of development and proposes an anti-imperialist approach to environmental politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Bresnihan,Patrick Brodie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529241952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529241952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.60d","brand":"Patrick Bresnihan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611768668415,"sku":"9781529241952","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7f4020b-648b-4f36-998a-6d7958dcb4ae.jpg?v=1764515950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-the-bog-to-the-patrick-bresnihan-9781529241952","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
