This volume makes a vital contribution to the Anthropocene debate. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of political science, global environmental politics and governance, and sustainable development "This remarkable collection very nicely combines conceptual, political and critical perspectives on the Anthropocene. All articles show that political science can contribute to a better understanding of the Anthropocene, but also that political science has to evolve in order to take up the challenges we face in this new era." -- Markus Lederer, Chair of International Relations, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany "Can a geological epoch have politics? The Anthropocene Debate and Political Science invites us to takes this question seriously and to bring political analysis into the center of contemporary environmental debates. A timely and innovative investigation into the political life of the Anthropocene." -- Eva Lövbrand, Department of Thematic Studies: Environmental Change, Linköping University, Sweden "The Anthropocene has conquered most public and scholarly debates on the human-nature nexus - and has often been greeted without deeper reflection about the term's social and political implications. This superb and innovative volume addresses this gap and brings political science into a timely and much-needed dialogue with the Anthropocene concept." -- Fariborz Zelli, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Lund University, Sweden
