Forest Governance: Hydra or Chloris?

In Search of Climate Politics

Bas Arts

This book is for those who want to step back and ask the underlying question of how climate change is political, and to understand the importance of this question. It provides an overarching framework for understanding climate politics, and a set of detailed empirical analyses that illustrate this framework.

• Provides an original and systematic overview of how we should think about climate change as political.

• Provides a set of detailed empirical analyses, focused on a single city, that develop and illustrate the importance of the key theoretical insights: students of urban climate change initiatives will have the first book-length treatment of a single city.

• Readers will gain the insights of how many of the key political dynamics are clearest at this local, specifically urban scale, and then how those dynamics also inform climate politics at other scales.

• Readers will gain an understanding that climate politics cannot be reduced to a single logic, but through multiple interacting dynamics, and a framework for thinking through aspects of climate politics they may be working on.

Many forest-related problems are considered relevant today. This Element takes stock of these issues and initiatives by analysing different forest governance modes, shifts and norms, and case studies. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
