Citizenship Environment Economy

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

As governments around the world grapple with the challenge of delivering environmental sustainability, attention has recently focused on the role that citizens should play in meeting the challenge. In advanced industrial countries such as ours, which operate in the political framework of liberal capitalism, what relevance can we place on 'environmental citizenship'? This book looks at the obstacles and opportunities which exist within this context and examines the possibility of ethical investment, the social economy and considers whether there is space in the capitalist economy for environmental citizens to 'do the right thing?' This book is a special issue of the leading journal Environmental Politics.

Children Citizenship And Environment

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

In this significantly revised second edition of Bronwyn Hayward’s acclaimed book Children Citizenship and Environment, she examines how students, with teachers, parents, and other activists, can learn to take effective action to confront the complex drivers of the current climate crisis including: economic and social injustice, colonialism and racism. The global school strikes demand adults, governments, and businesses take far-reaching action in response to our climate crisis. The school strikes also remind us why this important youthful activism urgently needs the support of all generations. The #SchoolStrike edition of Children Citizenship and Environment includes all new contributions by youth, indigenous and disability activists, researchers and educators: Raven Cretney, Mehedi Hasan, Sylvia Nissen, Jocelyn Papprill, Kate Prendergast, Kera Sherwood O’ Regan, Mia Sutherland, Amanda Thomas, Sara Tolbert, Sarah Thomson, Josiah Tualamali'i, and Amelia Woods. As controversial, yet ultimately hopeful, as it was when first published, Bronwyn Hayward develops her ‘SEEDS’ model of ‘strong ecological citizenship’ for a school strike generation. The SEEDS of citizenship education encourage students to develop skills for; Social agency, Environmental education, Embedded justice, Decentred deliberation and Self-transcendence. This approach to citizenship supports young citizens’ democratic imagination and develops their ‘handprint’ for social justice. This ground-breaking book will be of interest to a wide audience, in particular teachers and professionals who work in Environmental Citizenship Education, as well as students and community activists with an interest in environmental change, democracy and intergenerational justice.

Market Citizenship

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Citizens are caught in a paradox. Voting levels are falling and there are growing feelings of powerlessness and social unfairness, yet citizens are constantly told that they have more choice as well as greater freedom and liberty. This book brilliantly explains these discrepancies. It shows that the new definitions of freedom as responsibility to create prosperity through markets is seriously changing citizenship whilst appearing to be unbiased and non-interventionist. It exposes inconsistencies in the market-based and apolitical vision of our collective future. Key features of the book are: Its theoretical focus: outlining how market citizenship involves a new kind of rationality in which citizens are defined as individualized utility maximizers. It has a wealth of examples showing how the idea that citizens act primarily to develop their narrow self-interest has encouraged the creation of competitive governance mechanisms. A clear-sighted analysis of how market mechanisms are used to decide who are 'winners' and 'losers' - from the loss of youth groups funding to global treaties. It highlights the shortfalls when key contemporary issues - such as climate change - being tackled through 'win-win' solutions with business working alongside consumers, with little or no role for government. It analyses how localism and the devolution of power is being used to support the status quo. It provides evidence of new kinds of engagement that are emerging because markets have undermined politics. Market Citizenship will be essential reading for students, policy-makers and researchers of citizenship within sociology, politics, economics, geography and social policy. It will also be useful for those teaching citizenship in schools and colleges. Book jacket.
