Seeking a Quick Turnaround Book Review for GEP in Any of These Five Topics

[Fuentes-George, Kemi]

Dear gep-ed community,

 

I have digital copies of 5 books, and am interested in getting reviewers for all of them ASAP for publication in Global Environmental Politics. I will give a brief description of the topics, and if anyone is interested and available to do a single book review on any of them, please let me know ASAP. All of these books are published in major academic presses.

 

Please note: for timing, publication, and planning purposes, I would urge people to volunteer only if they feel confident that they can commit to a relatively quick turnaround for the review – no more than a month after receiving the book for the first draft.

 

The topics are:

 

• Conservationist ideas and narratives in China from the early 20th century to today. Includes a discussion of ethnic tension, norm contestation, and industrialization.
• The transformation of the Alpine landscape for hydropower and water management in Europe
• The role of architecture in the history of global development and decolonization, examining how modern architects and planners sought to make decolonization plausible
• Conservation, land sparing, and the failure of green capitalism in the Global South
• The politics of decarbonization in Sweden to explore how states collaborate with societal actors to achieve it

 

If any of these topics interest you, please contact me, and I will set up the book review process.

 

 

Thanks,

 

-Kemi
