Produktbeschreibung
This book is a theoretically rich and empirically grounded account of UK trade union engagement with climate change over the last three decades. It applies a rigorous critique to the mainstream neoliberal and ecological modernisation approaches, extending the insights of Marxist social and employment relations theory to the climate realm. Secondly, the book extends insights from employment relations to the political economy of climate change, developing a model for understanding trade union behaviour over climate matters. Finally, the book has a strong interdisciplinary approach, in keeping with the subject matter: climate change requires insights from both physical and social science.
