This book offers an interesting synthesis of Social Movements Studies and International Relations (IR) focusing on emotions. The holistic scope and the different conceptualizations of emotions in environmental movements will bring a new perspective that expands the existing approaches of Social Movements Studies and IR. Although the existing literature on emotions in social movements offers rich insights, the detailed analytical framework of emotions in environmental movements is overlooked. In particular, the realm of emotions and their intricate interaction with environmental activism remains overlooked in the context of Green Politics. By building on significant studies in emotions in IR, this book aims to transcend the boundaries of state-centric discussions to create a platform for the manifestation of social movements.
