Summary:

How does the governance of nature shape world politics? This volume examines how efforts to govern nature constitute, contest and can even transform world order, and seeks to catalyse a scholarly agenda for studying this dynamic. Each of the chapters in the volume blurs the boundaries between the enactment of environmental politics and how global politics is patterned, structured and understood. Our contributions explore empirically and theoretically how recognition and governance of environmental issues have shaped or has shaped glgobal politics and governance writ large. From security to sovereignty, growth to cooperation, the chapters (re)consider key concepts of international relations and how the governance of nature in the past and present has concatenated with practices and structures of world politics, as well as our scholarly understandings of them. In foregrounding these processes, the volume seeks not only to shed new light on global governance practices but also to prompt reflexivity within international relations concerning the analytical and normative adequacy of its prevailing theoretical apparatus.
