Terrestrial Politics in the Age of Climate Change

Examining the political and societal impacts of climate change, this timely book reimagines and expands ecological thinking. Through a number of ‘terrestrial stories’, the concept of ‘terrestrial politics’ is developed to explore the current planetary transition through a territorial lens.Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, contributing authors address issues of globalisation, coloniality, ecology and territoriality through corresponding modes of knowing and experiencing. Theoretically-led and informed discussions are grounded with in-depth ethnographic case studies from around the world. The book enriches contemporary debates on climate change and climate politics by emphasising the part territories play in prefiguring an emergent terrestrial politics suitable for conceptualizing an ecological civilization.Terrestrial Politics in the Age of Climate Change is an invaluable read for scholars and students of philosophy, social theory, sociology, anthropology, architecture, political ecology, and human geography.
