- Progress in Development Studies
"...will remain an influential and path-breaking contribution in the areas of international development, political sociology and environmental sociology in the years to come."
- Journal of South Asian Development
"The book brings a unique contribution to the scholarship through its analysis of a wide range of
global issues from climate change to terrorism, through the lens of development, power and
environment."
- Journal of International Development
"Overall, the book is very insightful... the book makes at least four central contributions in terms of: unmasking the critical nexus between development, power and the environment; showing development as a ‘project of power’; highlighting global vulnerabilities, global survival, global sustainability and global social justice; and finally, developing a thesis of neoliberal paradox, a new framework of the double-risk society and a new focus on the Global South."

"This book offers valuable insights about the intersections of development, power, and environment. It will be especially useful to those researchers in the fields of environment and development. Graduate students in particular will benefit from its broad literature review. It is an excellent book."
- Luiz Barbosa, San Francisco State University, American Journal of Sociology
