The Social Theory of Anthony Giddens and Environmentalism

The book "The Social Theory of Anthony Giddens and Environmentalism" examines the relationship between social theory and environmental movements. It argues that the environmental movement often has an unrealistic view of social change and that a deeper engagement with social theoretical approaches, particularly the ideas of Anthony Giddens, is crucial for achieving sustainability goals. Giddens, a renowned social theorist, offers concepts that are significant for understanding modern society. The book reconstructs Giddens' understanding of nature and suggests considering the dialectic between local-global and part-of-or-separated-from nature. These dialectics form the basis for an agenda for political development aimed at social change and sustainability.
