The twin categories of the state and nature collectively embody
some of the most fundamental reference points around which our
lives and thinking are organized. Despite their combined
significance, however, the complex relationships that exist between
modern states and nature remain under-theorized and are relatively
unexplored. Through a detailed study of different sites, moments,
and framing strategies The Nature of the State challenges the ways
in which geographers and social scientists approach the study of
state-nature relations. The authors analyse different instances of
state-nature interaction from all over the world, considering the
geo-politics of resource conflicts, the operation of natural
history museums, the organizational practices of environmental
departments and ministries, the regulation of genetic science, and
contemporary forms of state intervention within issues of climate
change. Introducing original research into the different
institutional, spatial, and temporal strategies used by states to
frame the natural world this book provides a critical overview of
the latest political and ecological theories and addresses a wide
range of pressing socio-environmental debates.
