针对目前许多环境活动家认为主权国家无法提供有效的环境治理的观点，《国家与全球生态危机》提供了分析和案例研究，探讨了“恢复国家”作为渐进环境变化的促进者而不是环境破坏的贡献者的前景。作者认识到，尽管面临全球经济竞争和快速技术变革的新压力，国家仍然是有能力和权威确保环境保护的卓越机构。这本书探讨了国内和国际上国家“绿化”的可能性，将国家视为单独的政府和多边或区域制度。它考察了北美，欧洲，澳大利亚和菲律宾的案例，并分析了更广泛的理论含义。本书的第一部分侧重于国内环境治理，包括单一和比较案例研究，范围从与福利国家发展并行的“生态国家”的潜在出现到美国环境正义的理论和实践。本书的第二部分讨论了国家在跨国环境治理中的作用，并探讨了包括欧盟环境权、涉及国家和非国家行为者的混合治理形式以及全球环境治理的另一种基础在内的主题。每一章不仅对当前的发展进行了批判性分析，而且还确定了可能加速环境进步的新举措和机会。
Countering the current view of many environmental activists that sovereign nations cannot provide effective environmental governance, The State and the Global Ecological Crisis offers analyses and case studies that explore the prospects for "reinstating the state" as a facilitator of progressive environmental change rather than a contributor to environmental destruction. The authors recognize that, despite the new pressures of global economic competition and rapid technological change, the state remains the preeminent institution with the capacity and authority to secure environmental protection. The book explores the possibilities for the "greening" of the state, domestically and internationally, looking at states both as individual governments and in multilateral or regional regimes. It examines cases in North America, Europe, Australia, and the Philippines and analyzes the broader theoretical implications. The first part of the book focuses on domestic environmental governance, with both single and comparative case studies that range from the potential emergence of an "ecological state" paralleling the development of the welfare state to the theory and practice of environmental justice in the United States. The book's second part addresses the role of the state in transnational environmental governance and looks at topics including environmental rights in the European Union, hybrid forms of governance involving both state and nonstate actors, and an alternative foundation for global environmental governance. Each chapter not only offers a critical analysis of current developments but also identifies new initiatives and opportunities that may accelerate environmental progress.
