Resource and environmental management generally entail an attempt
by governing authorities to dominate, reroute, and tame the natural
flows of water, the growth of forests, manage the populations of
non-human bodies, and control nature more generally. Often this is
done under the mantle of conservation, economic development, and
sustainable management, but still involves a quest to "civilize"
and control all aspects of nature for a specific purpose. The
results of this form of environmental management and governance are
many, but by and large, across the globe, it has meant governments
construct a specific idea regarding nature and the environment.
These forms of control also extend beyond the natural environment,
allowing for particular methods of managing human and non-human
populations in order to maintain power and enact sovereignty. This
volume contributes to advancing an 'ecology of freedom,' which can
critique current anthropocentric environmental destruction, as well
as focusing on environmental justice and decentralized ecological
governance. While concentrating on these areas of anarchist
political ecology, three major themes emerged from the chapters:
the legacies of colonialism that continue to echo in current
resource management and governance practices, the necessity of
overcoming human/nature dualisms for environmental justice and
sustainability, and finally discussions and critiques of
extractivism as a governing and economic mentality.
