Book description
In this book, the author explores what it might take to create a
green democratic state as an alternative to the classical liberal democratic
state, the indiscriminate growth-dependent welfare state, and neoliberal
market-focused state - seeking, she writes, "to navigate between
undisciplined political imagination and pessimistic resignation to the
status quo". The green state seeks to connect the moral and
practical concerns of the environmental movement with contemporary theories
about the state, democracy, and justice.This is the first book to make the
vision of a "good" green state explicit, to explore the obstacles to its
achievement, and to suggest practical constitutional and multilateral
arrangements that could help transform the liberal democratic state into a
postliberal green democratic state.
