Global Environmental Politics Online ISSN 1536-0091Print ISSN 1526-3800Global Environmental Politics examines relationships between global political forces and environmental change, with particular attention given to the implications of local-global interactions for environmental management, as well as to the implications of environmental change and environmental governance for world politics. Each issue contains several full-length research articles, and may also contain shorter forum articles and/or a research note. The journal seeks to publish on a broad range of issues, from water to waste management to climate change. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, states and non-state actors in environmental governance, multilateral institutions and agreements, innovative governance arrangements, trade, global finance, corporations and markets, environmental (in)security, science and technology, and transnational and grassroots movements. Contributions come from many disciplines, including political science, international relations, sociology, history, human geography, anthropology, public policy, science and technology studies, and environmental ethics, law, and economics.Link: https://direct.mit.edu/glep/pages/abstracting-indexingAbstracting and Indexing InformationGlobal Environmental Politics is abstracted and/or indexed in the following services:Academic SearchAcademic Search Alumni EditionAcademic Search CompleteAcademic Search EliteAcademic Search PremierAcademic Search R & DAdvanced Placement SourceBIOBASEBusiness SourceBusiness Source Alumni EditionBusiness Source CompleteBusiness Source CorporateBusiness Source EliteBusiness Source PremierCNKI, ChinaCurrent AbstractsCurrent Awareness in Biological SciencesCurrent ContentsDietrich's Index PhilosophicusDimensionsEBSCO DiscoveryEconLitEnvironment CompleteEnvironment IndexEnvironmental Sciences and Pollution ManagementEx Libris PrimoGEOBASEGreenFILEIBZ - Internationale Bibliographie der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaftlichen ZeitschriftenliteraturInternational Bibliography of Humanities & Sociological LiteratureInternational Political Science AbstractsLeft Index (Online)LensMicrosoft AcademicOCLC DiscoveryPolitical Science CompletePollution AbstractsProQuest SummonPublic Affairs IndexScopusSocial Sciences Citation IndexTOC PremierUrban Studies Abstracts
