Synopsis
Why is there a gap between the questions that environmental philosophers discuss and the issues that motivate environmental activists? The author attempts to bridge this gap by combining tools of political philosophy with questions of environmental ethics and politics. He defends a radical position in relations to environmental protection and social policies in order to put forward a political theory, which is not only philosophically sound, but also relevant to the practice of environmental activism. He argues that several directions in environmental ethics can be at odds with the contemporary political debates surrounding environmental politics. He then goes on to examine the environmental scope of the political theories of liberalism, communitarianism, participatory democracy, and socialism, and concludes that the last two are crucial for protecting the environment.

Review
de-Shalit sets out an explicitly political theory of environmentalism in an accessible style ... thoughtful, committed and engaging book. (Environmental Values)
The inimitably accessible style with which ... this is put together, and the fact that it comes from one of the major figures in world envirnmental theory today, makes it one of this year's must-reads. (Andrew Dobson, Environmental Politics)
Cogently presented discussion ... While certainly of interest to environmental and political philosophers, this engaginly written book is accessible to those outside the field as well, as it is intended to be. (Choice)
Fine contribution to ecological political theory ... de-Shalit offers a refreshing and well-argued political alternative to environmental philosophy as guidance for public affairs. (American Political Science Review)
