Thirteen contributions from political scientists, sociologists, and other academics represent a critical approach to the IPE of the environment: "an approach that focuses on the historical development and framing of environmental problems and solutions and that seeks to understand the social priorities or purpose that differing problems and solutions reflect" (from the preface). A unifying theme is the idea that the way in which problems are framed intimately impacts the kinds of solutions that are proposed. A sampling of topics: environmental NGOs, TNCs, and the question of governance; environmental discourse and danger in Dominican and Cuban urban watersheds; and global change and the political economy of sustainable development in Brazil.
