"I think the book ‘Environmental Politics and Governance in the Anthropocene’, edited by Philipp Pattberg and Fariborz Zelli, is an important scholarly contribution in the field of governance studies, namely for those engaged in global environmental governance issues, but also for urban and regional planners and policy makers in the broad field of urban and regional governance."Carlos Nunes Silva, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal,International Journal of E-Planning Research,Volume 6 • Issue 2 • April-June 2017
