Cities and the Global Politics of the Environment Series editors: Michele Acuto and Sofie Bouteligier are Senior Lecturer in Global Networks and Diplomacy and Associate Fellow at University College London, UK. Elizabeth Rapoport is Research Associate at University College, London. Editorial board: Neil Adger, Chadwick Alger, Michele Betsill, Lorraine Elliott, Peter M. Haas, Paul James, Kristine Kern, Karin Backstränd, Susan Parnell, Steve Rayner, Heike Schroeder More than half of humanity lives in cities, and by 2050 this might extend to three-quarters of the world’s population. Cities now have an undeniable impact on world affairs: they constitute the hinges of the global economy, global information flows, and worldwide mobility of goods and people. Yet, they also represent a formidable challenge for the 21st Century. Cities are core drivers not only of this momentous urbanisation, but also have a key impact on the environment, human security and the economy. Building on the Palgrave Pivot initiative, this series aims at capturing these pivotal implications with a particular attention to the impact of cities on global environmental politics, and with a distinctive cross-disciplinary appeal that seeks to bridge urban studies, international relations, and global governance. In particular, the series explores three themes: 1) What is the impact of cities on the global politics of the environment? 2) To what extent can there be talk of an emerging ‘global urban’ as a set of shared characteristics that link up cities worldwide? 3) How do new modes of thinking through the global environmental influence of cities help us to open up traditional frames for urban and international research?
