Purchase options and add-ons

This book explores the connections between two of the most transformative processes of the twenty-first century, namely climate change and globalization. In this book, Leichenko and O'Brien present a conceptual framework for analyzing the interactions between these two processes, and illustrate, through case studies, how these interactions create situations of "double exposure."

Drawing upon prominent recent and current climate-related events -- Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, recurring droughts in India, and the melting of Arctic sea ice -- the case studies each demonstrate a different pathway of interaction between globalization and global environmental change. Through exploration of these pathways of double exposure, the book also shows how broader human security concerns including growing inequalities, growing vulnerabilities, and unsustainable rates of development are integrally connected to both processes of global change. The double exposure framework not only sheds light on the challenges raised by these two global processes, but also reveals possibilities for using the interactions to generate positive opportunities for action.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Every now and then, a book appears that bridges solitudes. Environmental Change and Globalization is such a book, bridging the thinking on two dominant processes of our time, globalization (greater economic, political and cultural integration across nations) and global environmental change (such as climate change). The result is a balanced and insightful analysis with some surprising conclusions." --Fikret Berkes, Professor and Canada Research Chair, Natural Resources Institute, University of Manitoba

"This book provides a powerful approach for understanding how global economic and environmental changes intersect to create vulnerabilities, alter opportunities and affect livelihoods and landscapes in different regions of the world. It provides a great framework for understanding the human dimensions of environmental changes such as global warming and for analysing how environmental change intersects with larger structures of economic and political development."--Diana Liverman, Professor and Director, Environmental Change Institute, Oxford University Centre for the Environment

"In this timely volume, Leichenko and O'Brien provide a coherent framework for unraveling the complex interactions of the two defining processes of our era: global environmental change and globalization. Through numerous empirical examples, they document the often adverse and inequitable outcomes that emerge through the spatial and temporal interaction of these global drivers. Environmental Change and Globalization is not, however, gloomy reading. Leichenko and O'Brien provide insights on how opportunity emerges from complexity, arguing that from the synergies of global change there may be new avenues for ensuring human security." -Hallie Eakin, Department of Geography, UCSB, author of Weathering Risk in Rural Mexico: Climatic, Institutional, And Economic Change

"Global environmental change and globalization are the two most important forces reshaping our world. We have tended to study and understand them separately, giving us very little knowledge of how they fit together. Leichenko and O'Brien offer an important corrective to this tendency. Their book provides a clear and useful framework for thinking about the intersection, with several compelling examples of how the two combine to threaten human security. Environmental Change and Globalization offers a timely warning--that we ignore the linkages and feedbacks between global environmental change and globalization at our peril."-Ken Conca, Professor of Government and Politics, University of Maryland

"There are no doubts that Environmental Change and Globalization: Double Exposures advances our understanding of the inherent links between global process and environmental changes... Their use of rich examples makes the reading enjoyable and accessible for readers of all levels."-Sociological Insight

Ledermann Samuel Th

A powerful framework with a balanced and fresh perspective on climate change and globalization

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2009

Verified Purchase

In addition to the fact that this book is written in a lucid and succinct manner, which is worthy of 5 * by itself, the authors make two key contributions that are unique and powerful and definitely are of interest to a wide audience:

First, their conceptual framework of 'Double Exposures' moves beyond the separate analyses of the two 'hot-topics' of our century, Climate Change and Globalization, found in other works and combines them in a matter that is both accessible and eye-opening for anyone interested in either of these two fields. Especially Chapter 4: Pathways of Double Exposure is noteworthy, as it walks the reader through three different types of double exposure in a systematic fashion and supported with prominent case studies that are easy to connect with.

Second, by applying the framework, they also engage throughout the text in a (brave) discussion of winners and losers of these two forces. This is especially illuminating as literature often times either only discusses the losers (e.g. global warming) or the winners (e.g. globalization). This book consequently stands out from others by avoiding the sometimes dogmatic and opinionated stances of similar work.

Based on my own interest in agricultural development (which is discussed at length in Chapter 5: Uneven Outcomes and Growing Inequalities), this book certainly makes a very strong and leading contribution and can act as a fundamental building block for further research or just to broaden ones own views.

Best Globalization/Climate Change Book Ever

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2011

I began reading Double Exposures al fresco on a sunny late-Fall day and I literally could not put it down. Too often textbooks authored by fancy book-learning types drone on and on and I find myself at the end of a page thinking "What ho! Now what the bloody heck did she just say?" but not here. Dame Leichenko has a knack for the turn of a phrase and exhibits pacing and crescendo that would cause envy in Thomas McGuane, not to mention that hack Janet Evanovich. I cannot speak to the validity of the research as this is not my baliwick but believe me when I say by the final chapter I was enthralled and trying to guess which would emerge victorious, Globalization or Environmental Change. At this juncture the weather symbolically took a nosedive as I thought to myself "Tut, tut, looks like rain..." yet finished the book anyway, albeit in a somewhat soggy fashion. Kudos Leichenko! Here's hoping that you serialize these characters and offer a sequel straightaway!

Interesting new approach to the study of vulnerability

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2008

Leichenko and O'Brien present a framework for examining the multiple and overlapping processes of global change and, in particular, the places and ways in which the economic and the non-economic interact. Double exposure acts as a metaphor for cases in which particular localities or individuals are simultaneously or sequentially exposed to different processes of global change.

The book discusses a wide variety of examples in which double exposure is present. The examples include the melting of Arctic ice, Hurricane Katrina, and the liberalization of agricultural markets in India. The authors use the idea of double exposure to treat all these cases, showing how economic and environmental process interact in complex ways.

The book should be of great interest to social scientists working in interdisciplinary contexts, and could be useful for graduate seminars, advanced undergraduate courses, and general research purposes. My graduate seminar read it this semester, and it generated interesting discussions.

This book would also be a thought-provoking read for people with a general interest in climate change or economic globalization, since the case studies are presented in a way that is both illuminating and relatively jargon-free.
