Description: "Green Politics and Neo-liberalism uses environmental policy to demonstrate the weaknesses of rational choice theory and the strengths of discourse analysis. It builds on this distinction to adapt the green critique of the external costs of economic growth and to examine the links between stress, social division and excessive competition that are associated with new-liberalism."--Jacket.
