Review Quotes:
"This remarkable collection very nicely combines conceptual, political and critical perspectives on the Anthropocene. All articles show that political science can contribute to a better understanding of the Anthropocene, but also that political science has to evolve in order to take up the challenges we face in this new era." -- Markus Lederer, Chair of International Relations, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany
"Can a geological epoch have politics? The Anthropocene Debate and Political Science invites us to takes this question seriously and to bring political analysis into the center of contemporary environmental debates. A timely and innovative investigation into the political life of the Anthropocene." -- Eva Lövbrand, Department of Thematic Studies: Environmental Change, Linköping University, Sweden
"The Anthropocene has conquered most public and scholarly debates on the human-nature nexus - and has often been greeted without deeper reflection about the term's social and political implications. This superb and innovative volume addresses this gap and brings political science into a timely and much-needed dialogue with the Anthropocene concept." -- Fariborz Zelli, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Lund University, Sweden
