From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Dobson (April 15, 1957) is a British political author and Professor at Keele University, specialising in environmental politics.
Dobson has a BA in Politics from the University of Reading and D.Phil in Politics from the University of Oxford. His best-known work is entitled Green Political Thought, in which he argues that 'ecologism' is a political ideology in its own right. His most recent monograph is Citizenship and the Environment (Oxford University Press, 2005), and he co-edited two other books on environmental/ecological citizenship in 2005. In 2006 he co-edited Political Theory and the Ecological Challenge (Cambridge University Press) with Robyn Eckersley.
He ran as a Green Party candidate in the 2005 UK general election, but was not elected. He also ran in the local elections in 2006, contesting the Keele ward, and came within a handful of votes of unseating the leader of the Liberal Democrats.
He was made an Academician in the Academy of Social Sciences in February 2008.
