There is now simply no way to prevent the planet breaching the threshold of two degrees Celsius set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. What are the likely political and economic outcomes of this? Where is the overheating world heading? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo further the struggle for climate justice, we need to have some idea how the existing global order is likely to adjust to a rapidly changing environment. \u003ci\u003eClimate Leviathan\u003c\/i\u003e provides a radical way of thinking about the intensifying challenges to the global order. Drawing on a wide range of political thought, Joel Wainwright and Geoff Mann argue that rapid climate change will transform the world's political economy and the fundamental political arrangements most people take for granted. The result will be a capitalist planetary sovereignty, a terrifying eventuality that makes the construction of viable, radical alternatives truly imperative.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeoff Mann\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the Centre for Global Political Economy, Simon Fraser University.
