The world is caught in the mesh of a series of environmental
crises. So far attempts at resolving the deep basis of these have
been superficial and disorganized. Global Political Ecology links
the political economy of global capitalism with the political
ecology of a series of environmental disasters and failed attempts
at environmental policies. This critical volume draws together
contributions from twenty-five leading intellectuals in the field.
It begins with an introductory chapter that introduces the readers
to political ecology and summarizes the books main findings. The
following seven sections cover topics on the political ecology of
war and the disaster state; fuelling capitalism: energy scarcity
and abundance; global governance of health, bodies, and genomics;
the contradictions of global food; capital's marginal product:
effluents, waste, and garbage; water as a commodity, a human right,
and power; the functions and dysfunctions of the global green
economy; political ecology of the global climate, and carbon
emissions. This book contains accounts of the main currents of
thought in each area that bring the topics completely up-to-date.
The individual chapters contain a theoretical introduction linking
in with the main themes of political ecology, as well as empirical
information and case material. Global Political Ecology serves as a
valuable reference for students interested in political ecology,
environmental justice, and geography.
