Özet, vb.
This book is a must-read for researchers and students interested in gaining a comprehensive overview of the political dimensions of climate change adaptation. The authors remind us that political analysis of adaptation processes is a productive and much needed scholarly endeavour that can shed light on the social complexities and pitfalls of the growing challenges ahead of us. Hartmut Fünfgeld Institute of Environmental Social Science and Geography, University of Freiburg, Germany As the issue of climate change comes to be increasingly mainstream, we must pay close attention to how, by and for whom adaptation efforts are being undertaken. This book provides the perfect guide, bringing into sharp focus the ways in which adaptation is a fundamentally political matter. This book will be essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners alike. Harriet Bulkeley Department of Geography, Durham University, United Kingdom In a world facing an accelerating climate emergency, the importance of climate change adaptation is increasing. This book provides a valuable approach for a political analysis of climate change adaptation focusing on power, knowledge, participation, and, ultimately, who benefits and who loses. This timely book will be indispensable reading for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in the climate crisis. Charles F. Parker Department of Government and the Centre of Natural Hazards and Disaster Science, Uppsala University, Sweden This book examines the political themes and policy perspectives related to, and influencing, climate change adaptation. It provides an informed primer on the politics of adaptation, a topic largely overlooked in the current scholarship and literature, and addresses questions such as why these politics are so important, what they mean, and what their implications are. The book also reviews various political texts on adaptation. Leigh Glover is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Climate and Safety at Karlstad University, Sweden.
