Peter Dauvergne is an author, environmentalist, and professor of international relations at the University of British Columbia. His 13 books and more than 50 journal articles and book chapters have been translated into Arabic, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and French, among other languages.〔Peter Dauvergne, Academic Profile, Liu Institute, http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=/modules/liu/profiles/profile.jsp&id=25〕 His 1997 book, ''Shadows in the Forest'', has been described as the first to "describe in intricate and devastating detail" the role of Japanese corporations and trade in the politics of deforestation in Southeast Asia.〔.〕 The book went on to win the International Studies Association's 1998 Sprout Award for the best book in international environmental affairs.〔Sprout Award, International Studies Association, http://environmental-studies.org/?page_id=3〕 Dauvergne's 2001 book, ''Loggers and Degradation in the Asia-Pacific'', extended his fieldwork to include Melanesia, most notably uncovering evidence of corruption in the Solomon Islands. Dauvergne went on to research the consequences of consumption for global environmental change, as in his 2005 book with Jennifer Clapp, ''Paths to a Green World''. He followed this with ''The Shadows of Consumption'', which won the 2009 Gerald L. Young Book Award in Human Ecology. A central contribution of this book was developing the concept of "ecological shadows" to reveal why the consequences of consumption in the global North tend to gravitate toward—and then harm—the most vulnerable ecosystems and poorest peoples, especially in the global South. This concept has gained a following as a way of extending the analysis of ecological footprints, environmental racism, and environmental externalities. After serving as an associate dean at UBC (2006-2008) and then as senior advisor to UBC President Stephen Toope (2008-2009), Dauvergne became director of the Liu Institute for Global Issues (2009-2014).〔Liu Institute for Global Issues, http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/〕 Among his recent books are ''Eco-Business'' (MIT Press, 2013, coauthored with Jane Lister) and ''Protest Inc.'' (Polity Press, 2014, coauthored with Genevieve LeBaron), which jointly challenge the growing power of brand companies over sustainability discourse and social movements. Michael Edwards of Demos calls ''Protest Inc.'' "a tremendous book -- hard-hitting, passionate, and beautifully written -- that deserves to be read by everyone who is interested in social change."〔Michael Edwards, as cited on the back cover of Peter Dauvergne, ''Protest Inc.: The Corporatization of Activism'' (Polity, 2014), http://ca.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0745669492.html〕 Although Dauvergne's recent books and keynote lectures are for a general audience,〔For example, see Sydney Ideas, Peter Dauvergne, August 2013, http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2013/professor_peter_dauvergne.shtml ; Oxford University, Peter Dauvergne, October 2013, http://www.qeh.ox.ac.uk/events-1/xevent?diary_id=5210 ; University of Memphis, Peter Dauvergne, November 2013, http://www.memphis.edu/mediaroom/releases/oct13/dauvergne.htm ; Massey University, Keynote Speaker Peter Dauvergne, Auckland, New Zealand, November 2013, http://sustainabilityconference2013.massey.ac.nz/home_files/Master_Conference%20Program%20and%20Abstracts%202013%20%25281%2529.pdf ; For a media interview of Dauvergne discussing ''Eco-Business'', see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-GwmbXA_1A〕 he continues to publish research in academic journals such as the ''Journal of Peasant Studies'' (2010, 2015), ''New Political Economy'' (2013), ''Global Environmental Change'' (2012), ''Third World Quarterly'' (2013, 2012, and 2009), and ''Organization & Environment'' (2010).〔Peter Dauvergne, Director of the Liu Institute, http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=/modules/liu/profiles/profile.jsp&id=25〕 Dauvergne is also an experienced editor, with four edited books. Perhaps most notably, he is the founding editor of the MIT journal Global Environmental Politics, which he edited from 2001-2007. This journal had an impact factor of 2.630 in the 2012 Journal Citation Reports, ranking third out of 157 journals in political science. In September 2015 the Environmental Studies Section of the International Studies Association announced that Dauvergne would receive the 2016 Distinguished Scholar Award.〔ISA: Environmental Studies Section, ESS Distinguished Scholar Award 2016, Peter Dauvergne, http://environmental-studies.org/?p=395〕 Although no longer active in international tournaments, he is a chess master with an international FIDE rating of over 2230. He is also the author of a popular article on why studying and playing chess can increase intelligence.〔.〕 == Books == * . * . * . * . * . Recipient of the 2009 Gerald L.
