过去100年的一个特点是政治思想和政治实践的绿色化。今天，有绿色政党、绿色组织和绿色消费品，所有这些都表明，我们组织、捐赠和消费的决定是如何被注入绿色政治的，在很多方面都是关于价值观的。绿色政治也在大众的想象中成长。每天都有关于气候变化、资源开采影响或贫困社区化学污染的头条新闻。所有这些故事背后都隐藏着关于权力、代表权和终极价值的经典政治问题。这是SAGE绿色社会系列的第二卷，涵盖了能源等资源的可用性和分布，以及它们如何影响经济发展、国内政治、国际合作与冲突。例如，文章调查了政治如何影响美国国内能源战略的选择，以及不同形式的能源的可获得性如何引发世界各国之间的政治冲突。随着不可再生能源的供应受到日益增长的全球需求的限制，各国是会加强对这些商品的控制，还是会寻求公平和可持续的方式来分享它们？这些问题从未像现在这样紧迫。需要讨论的其他同样紧迫的问题包括流域资源（当各国共用一条河流，一个国家在水到达其他国家之前将其虹吸或污染）、其他自然资源（例如，工业化国家试图就雨林资源向发展中国家发号施令，捕鲸国与寻求全面禁止捕鲸业的国家相对）、空气污染、全球健康和流行病学(例如，限制潜在的流行病、切尔诺贝利等核事故造成的放射性沉降物在各国的传播)。从a到z，这些和类似的“绿色”问题的政治通过150个签名条目进行了彻底的探索。
A hallmark of the past 100 years has been the greening of political thought and practice. Today, there are green political parties, green organizations, and green consumer goods, all of which show how our decisions to organize, donate, and consume have been infused with green politics, which in many ways is all about values. Green politics has grown in the popular imagination, as well. Everyday there are headlines about climate change, impacts of resource extraction, or chemical pollution in a poor neighborhood. Underlying all of those stories are classic political questions about power, representation, and ultimate values. This second volume in the SAGE Series on Green Society covers the availability and distribution of such resources as energy and how they impact economic development, domestic politics, and international cooperation and conflict. For instance, articles investigate how politics influence the choice of energy strategies within the U.S. and how availability of different forms of energy fuels political conflict among nations worldwide. As supplies of nonrenewable energy sources become constrained by increasing global demand, will states tighten control over such commodities or will they seek equitable and sustainable ways to share them? Such questions have never been more urgent. Other issues of equal urgency to be covered include watershed resources (what happens when countries share a river and one country siphons off or pollutes waters before they reach other countries), other natural resources (for instance, industrialized countries attempting to dictate to developing countries about rainforest resources, whaling countries versus those seeking total bans on whaling as an industry), air pollution, global health and epidemiology (e.g., constraining the spread of potential pandemics, radioactive fall-out across countries from nuclear accidents like Chernobyl). From A-to-Z, the politics of these and similar "green" issues are thoroughly explored via 150 signed entries.
