Book Synopsis
The study of environmental politics in Latin America and the Caribbean expands as conflicts stemming from the deterioration of the natural world increase. Yet this scholarship has not generated a broad research agenda similar to the ones that emerged around other key political phenomena. This Element seeks to address the lack of a comprehensive research agenda in Latin American and Caribbean environmental politics and helps integrate the existing, disparate literatures. Drawing from distributive politics, this Element asks who benefits from the appropriation and pollution of the environment, who pays the costs of climate change and environmental degradation, and who gains from the allocation of state protections.

Table of Contents
1. Introduction; 2. The social mobilization perspective in Latin America and the Caribbean; 3. The state perspective in Latin America and the Caribbean; 4. A new distributive research agenda for Latin American and Caribbean environmental politics; Bibliography.
