Rethinking Green Politics

The book presents a critical examination of the theoretical foundations of contemporary green politics, challenging prevailing ecocentric and anarchistic ideologies. John Barry advocates for a shift from ideological perspectives to a more theoretical approach, offering a significant critique and reconstruction of concepts like 'deep' versus 'shallow' green thinking and the distinctions between 'ecologism' and 'environmentalism.' This analysis seeks to deepen the understanding of green political values and principles in the modern context.
