Global Environmental Politics 9th edition is available for pre-order

[Pam Chasek]

Hi everyone:

On behalf of David Downie and Jen Allan, I'm thrilled to announce that the 9th edition of our textbook, Global Environmental Politics, will be published by Routledge this month (September 2025) and is available for pre-order this week. https://www.routledge.com/Global-Environmental-Politics/Chasek-Downie-Allan/p/book/9781032799872

So, hopefully, for some of you it is not too late for this semester or that you may consider it going forward. The new edition has updated case studies on key issues such as climate change, endangered species, ozone depletion, land degradation and desertification, marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, whaling, hazardous wastes, toxic chemicals, mercury, and biodiversity, which detail the ongoing development of major environmental treaty regimes. A new case study on plastic pollution showcases the challenges of creating new treaties during a period of significant global change. There is also new material on the challenges to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the World Trade Organization’s agreement on fisheries subsidies, and the use of the International Court of Justice to improve compliance with environmental agreements.  Updated information about global environmental trends, paradigms, and actors completes this comprehensive introduction to contemporary international environmental politics.
