These debates were particularly intense during Nixon's presidency.The author hopes to show that the political atmosphere in a country like US in the late 20th century could be eased by adopting a more liberal approach to drug use. For many years, the use of cannabis and other drugs has been debated in the US. Another political issue in Ecotopia that mirrors what was debated in the US society is the use of cannabis by the people in Ecotopia. Politically, the breakaway from America is similar to what had happened in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan as Bangladesh seceded from Pakistan with the help of India (Pavkovic and Padan 2016: 33, 95). The country aimed at preventing pollution and making the lives of its citizens. In terms of politics, the book begins by explaining that the country of Ecotopia broke away from the US in order to practice a better, conservationist lifestyle. In this essay, the city of ecotopia in the book will be analyzed in the way it mirrors and criticizes the 20th century USA society in terms of social, political andeconomic development. The book was published in the year 1975 and critiques some of the ideas and lifestyle choices that were common at the time. The story is written from first-person perspective from a visitor, William Weston who is visiting from the US. The novel Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach is about a country, Ecotopia that is an ecological utopia.
