Last year, I was invited by Robert Oprisko to participate in a collective effort book led by him and Stephen McGlinchey that would map the field of international relations from a perspective of “Day One” (that is, someone who has never taken a course in international relations). Given my expertise in global environmental politics, Robert and Stephen asked me to write the environmental chapter. I’m very proud to join my friend Dr. David Hornsby (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg) and many other excellent scholars. The final version is much shorter than the version I wrote originally (which had tables and figures and included reference to two important datasets.
The first is a dataset on global constitutional environmental rights produced by Dr. Josh Gellers at University of North Florida and the second is a dataset on global environmental summits generated by Dr. Kate O’Neill from University of California Berkeley).
But still I think it’s a very fun read and I’m proud to contribute to teaching the next generation of international relations scholars. The book is Open Access and is entirely downloadable here, and my chapter starts on page 165. Enjoy!

I am so blissful that this series is over and that I won’t ever
pick up any of those books from this collection once more for so long as
I reside. I’m the definition of done. Also, spoilers might be
abound and aplenty all through this whole overview, and this is going to
a a principally Supernatural gif-crammed extravaganza, as a result of A).
That is how angels/demons/etc. must be finished and
B). I can. So if you do not like spoilers or Supernatural, depart now, as a result of shit’s about to
get ugly up in here
