"Revealing the hidden architecture of rules that must be changed to
protect our planet, Steinberg offers a fresh perspective on how to
achieve a sustainable future. Who Rules the Earth? will be a source
of inspiration for anyone who wonders what more we can do to
overcome our most daunting environmental challenges." -Robert F.
Kennedy, Jr.
"Paul Steinberg provides profound insights into how societies
function and why this matters for the health of the planet. After
reading this book, you will not view the world in the same way
again." -Carlos Manuel Rodríguez, Minister of Environment and
Energy for Costa Rica, 2002-2006, and Vice President, Center for
Environment and Peace, Conservation International
"This book makes a fascinating contribution to understanding the
forces that shape our world." -Christiana Figueres, Executive
Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
"I was genuinely moved by this book. Steinberg goes where few
scholars have dared, taking an incredibly rich research literature
on global environmental governance and distilling practical
insights that, instead of just making us feel good about ourselves,
might actually help us solve our toughest environmental problems. I
am going to make this required reading not only for my students,
but also my children." -Ben Cashore, Professor of Environmental
Governance
& Political Science, Yale School of Forestry & Environmental
Studies
"Steinberg masterfully 'skims the cream' from the best social
science research to argue that environmental reformers must focus
their energies on changing institutions, and suggests concrete ways
in which to accomplish this ambitious goal. A great read!" -Lisa L.
Martin, Professor of Political Science, University of
Wisconsin-Madison
"Steinberg does an excellent job of drawing together existing
research to offer a coherent, accessible argument about how it
applies to the current ecological problem...Overall, Who Rules the
Earth? offers a clear argument, firm grounding in research, and
practical guidance for those who want to have a voice in shaping
the rules that we live by" --Gerda Kits, Perspectives on Science
and Christian Faith
