How does the environment figure in electoral politics in different parts of the world? Environmental politics is typically understood broadly as the policies and state negotiations focused on water and air pollution, natural resource conservation, greenhouse gas emissions, or public lands management. Viewed more expansively, however, \u201cthe environment\u201d is a concept under constant renegotiation at multiple scales. From school board nominations to state representative run-offs to the Presidential Election, the environment is both a complex sphere of governance and a space to imagine alternative relationships with nature and the state. <\/p>\n
