This book contributes to scholarly understanding of
global environmentalism by developing an
institutional analysis of national variations in
social responses to environmental damage. The core
of the book''s argument is the idea that Western-
style mass education encourages both public concern
for the environment and the establishment of ecology
organizations through four main channels. Mass
public education (1) raises general literacy and the
capacity for complex and voluntary organization, (2)
increases citizens cosmopolitanism, i.e. their
interest in regional, national, and global politics,
(3) increases cultural individualization, and (4)
incorporates ecological topics and themes into
school curricula. The book includes two empirical
studies, the first on public opinion on
environmental issues, the second on the creation of
environmental organizations. Both studies are
comparative and global in scope.
