	Multitudes Web - Multitudes 24 : Spring 2006
		Political ecology emerged in reaction to the dead end of energy-based, quantitative economics and its productivism, suggesting instead a qualitative vision of regulation through information.
		Political ecology is the feedback of industrial modernity ; it is a the critique of the negative dimensions of progress, its degradations and pollutions.
		Ecology is a great turning-point, on the condition that it be joined to the social and economic dimensions, along with every form of otherness, to create a soft ideology that leaves room for new knowledge.

	Center for Energy & Environmental Policy
		Political ecology is an interdisciplinary, non-dualistic strategy that remains under development, and perhaps deliberately so, seeking to describe the dynamic ways in which, on the one hand, political and economic power can shape ecological futures and, on the other, how ecologies can shape political and economic possibilities.
		Often identified with political economy, political ecology frequently takes political economy’s interest in the expression and influence of state and corporate power on environmental politics and combines this with insights derived from understanding and analyzing environmental influences on social activity.
		Political ecology’s ability to engage the philosophy and values of ecological justice has made it attractive to many who expect analysis to facilitate social change.

	Political ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Political ecology is the study of how political, economic, and social factors affect environmental issues.
		The majority of scholars of political ecology, are drawn from the academic disciplines of anthropology, geography and political science.
		Some of their work builds upon cultural ecology, a form of analysis that showed how culture depends upon, and is influenced by, the material conditions of society, particularly how food and other basic resources are obtained.

	Feminist political ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feminist political ecology is a synthesis of the perspectives taken by several different feminisms, specifically those of ecofeminism, feminist environmentalism, socialist feminism, feminist poststructuralism and environmentalism.
		Instead, it provides an interdisciplinary framework for understanding the importance of gender, race, culture, ethnicity and class in affecting processes of ecological change and access to resources, placing the greatest emphasis on gender.
		A good example of a feminist political ecological analysis is the study by Diane Rocheleau and Laurie Ross of the Rural Federation of Zambrana-Chaucuey.

	Political Ecology
		If political ecology had not become the preserve of students of divinity and anthropologists, instead of being the embracing and essential discipline it ought to be, I would think of renaming L-I the Political Ecology List and indeed have suggested as much to Hans Ehrbar.
		As for ecology, which shares the same etymology, a still greater beatification may prove necessary, since ecology long ago stumbled and fell and is no longer the defining environmental science, perhaps not a science at all.
		Political Ecology ought to be the study of social processes embedded within their natural locale.

	Political ecology
		Political ecology is an umbrella term for a variety of projects that involve "politics" and the "environment." These projects generally fall within one of three types:
		When geographers and anthropologists refer to "political economy," they generally mean the study of how different polities (states or societies) in different parts of the world are actually parts of a global structure through which one polity exploits another polity.
		This approach to political economy comes out of the works of Immanuel Wallerstein and Andre Gundar Frank, who argues that European development was made possible by the "underdevelopment" (or impoverishment) of non-European societies.

	Sustainable Community Development: Background: History and Horizons
		Scientific ecology is the science of the triangular relation between a species (and the individuals of this species), its activity, and its environment.
		Their ecology obeys the same law of "predator-prey": it is an ecology that depends on the carrying capacity of the territory under consideration, that is, on the quantity of human beings that can be nourished by a territory, given certain techniques of hunting and gathering.
		Ecology is thought of as a luxury, an indulgence after one has satisfied "all the rest." Now, the problem is that "all the rest" (that is, immediate needs) is already linked to ecological matters, though they are not designated as such.

		This is a book of Canadian provenance which emerged from a ‘Global Political Ecology’ conference organized by the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University, Toronto, in 1994 to celebrate the birth centenary of the prominent Canadian political economist, Harold Innis.
		This, the editors explain, is to be conceived of as ‘...rooted in political economy and cultural studies and critically branching out to understand relationships between society and the natural world’ (p.1).
		The final section is devoted to the politics of environmental radicalism, its problems as a practical activity (an illuminating account of the trials and tribulations of the Canadian Green Party) and as theoretical endeavour.

		When political ecology first emerged as a distinct field in the early 1970s, it was rooted in the neo-Marxism of world system theory.
		This collection showcases second-generation political ecology, which retains the Marxist interest in capitalism as a global structure but which is also heavily influenced by poststructuralism, feminism, practice theory, and cultural studies.
		As these essays illustrate, contemporary political ecology moves beyond binary thinking, focusing instead on the interchanges between nature and culture, the symbolic and the material, and the local and the global.

		Political ecology provides the theoretical framework for this research.
		Political ecology examines patterns of resource use at the local level from the point of view of environmental challenges that face people, social and cultural factors that shape human responses to the environment, and the workings of political-economic forces at local, regional and global scales.
		Political ecology emphasizes the need to understand these processes in their historical context because the complex interactions between environment and society are always embedded in history and locally specific ecologies.

	Untitled Document
		Political Ecology is a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding resource access by different people, the institutions and environmental conditions through which resource access is mediated, and the sorts of environmental change that these systems may create.
		Political Ecology has endured as a strong approach - with a basis in the disciplines of geography and anthropology - to understanding livelihood systems and development processes in developing countries (and to lesser, but important extent in developed countries).
		This could be an advanced critique of political ecology; or an application of the approach to an empirical question or to a case study.

	An Introduction to Travel Ecology
		The term travel ecology indicates theoretical affinity with the fields of political ecology and cultural ecology, as well as an attempt to move away from sustainable tourism models.
		From global political ecology, the approach incorporates an impact analysis of international economic and political conditions on community sustainability.
		The travel ecology approach should be considered as a framework for cultivating and enhancing existing community resources as well as developing or marketing those resources required for bringing the tourist into communities.

	CAPE Features
		Political ecology first emerged from the expansion of political economy and critical theory interests that had first developed in economic/human geography.
		Political ecology has now been challenged by a variety of constructivist viewsï¿½ post-colonial, postmodern, and so on as they have entered geography through its contemporary humanist interests.
		Others, however, appear to label such work ï¿½political ecologyï¿½ because other parts of their work are, in fact, truly political ecology; thus political ecology becomes whatever a self-defined political ecologist does.

	Berkeley Workshop on Environmental Politics
		The field of political ecology is a self-consciously interdisciplinary enterprise in which anthropologists, sociologists, historians, geographers, and environmental scientists play a formative role.
		A major concern of the Berkeley Workshop on Environmental Politics is to use the tools of a critically reflexive social science to address complex intersections of environmental actors, agencies, and institutions in an increasingly transnational arena of environmental politics and governance.
		The Berkeley Workshop on Environmental Politics is funded by the Luce Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
