Lars Tønder is Professor of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is the author of Tolerance: A Sensorial Orientation to Politics (Oxford University Press, 2013) and co-editor of Radical Democracy: Politics Between Abundance and Lack (Manchester University Press, 2005). His current research interests include climate change, democratic theory, social movements and political contestation.

Responding to this age of extraordinary human impact on planetary systems, Lars Tønder offers a brilliant blend of new materialism, climate politics, and engaged analyses of power in an attempt to reset the social sciences for the challenge. Power in the Anthropocene is a great critique of the breadth of the ecological blindness of social science, but also a genuinely reconstructive response to the current age of climate turbulence.
