Newell shows how, and for whom, the political project of unsustainable economic globalization has been governed, and provides a trenchant assessment of what its transformation will require. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the political task of putting the world economy on a more sustainable footing.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eKen Conca, American University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"In \u003ci\u003eGlobalization and the Environment\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter Newell provides a much-needed critical analysis of the power that lies at the interface of the global economy and the global ecology.
