The contemporary state is not only the main force behind
environmental change, but the reactions to environmental problems
have played a crucial role in the modernisation of the state
apparatus, especially because of its mediatory role. The Political
Ecology of the State is the first book to critically assess the
philosophical basis of environmental statehood and regulation,
addressing the emergence and evolution of environmental regulation
from the early twentieth century to the more recent phase of
ecological modernisation and the neoliberalisation of nature. The
state is understood as the result of permanent socionatural
interactions and multiple forms of contestation, from a critical
politico-ecological approach. This book examines the tension
between pro- and anti-commons tendencies that have permeated the
organisation and failures of the environmental responses put
forward by the state. It provides a reinterpretation of the
achievements and failures of mainstream environmental policies and
regulation, and offers a review of the main philosophical
influences behind different periods of environmental statehood and
regulation. It sets out an agenda for going beyond conventional
state regulation and grassroots dealings with the state, and as
such redefines the environmental apparatus of the state.
