Hi folks: I'm the book review editor for the journal Global Environmental Politics. Most book reviews I commission by asking particular people to review specific books I know they have the expertise to review.
But in order to expand the usual suspects, I also sometimes put out a call for reviewers for specific books or groups of books, and this is that call. If you're interested in reviewing one or more of these, please respond directly to me ([email protected]), letting me know your relevant background (please do not send me a full c.v., but indicate a couple relevant publication and/or your dissertation topic or ongoing research projects if I don't already know you). These reviews will be distributed across several GEP issues. Your odds of being chosen increase if you can commit to sending in your review by November 15th, but not being able to do it by then doesn't rule you out. I'm looking for . . . . Single-book reviews of these books: -Laura A. Henry, Red to Green: Environmental Activism in Post-Soviet Russia -Susan Park, World Bank Group Interactions With Environmentalists: Changing International Organisation Identities -John Mikler, Greening the Car Indistry: Varieties of Capitalism and Climate Change -Carmen Richershagen, Protecting Biological Diversity: The Effectiveness of access and Benefit-Sharing Regimes -Michael Maniates and John M. Meyer, eds., The Environmental Politics of Sacrifice -Julian Agyeman and Yelena Ogneva-Himmelverger, Environmental Justice and Sustainability in the Former Soviety Union . . . and I have about 50,000 candidate books on one aspect or another of climate change, so if you'd love to review a book about climate change, let me know (and let me know which general aspects you're interested in and/or have experience with) and I might be able to match you with an appropriate book Review Essay options (review essays are longer -- around 2500 words, and consider three or four books together in the context of their overarching topic): -A review essay on recent textbooks on global environmental politics (presumably you need to not have written a recent textbook nor be a contributor to one) -A review essay on the politics of food -A review essay on multilateral environmental agreements/institutions Please let me know if you'd be interested in taking on one of these review opportunities.
