  • Reanimate

    Open AccessRosaleen V Duffy, Peter SandsARTICLESociety and Animals2026

    This paper develops a political ecology of reanimation as a novel approach to generate a deeper understanding of new directions in wildlife conservation. It highlights the lives of individual nonhuman animals in reanimated forms of nature, not just as species to “save,” but as essential actors in building healthy ecosystems. To do this, the paper integrates political ecology and animal studies. This offers a first step by sketching out how politi…

  • A harms-based political ecology

    Open AccessRosaleen V Duffy, Alan Hutchinson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Ecology2025

    In this article, we examine how political ecology can benefit from greater engagement with green criminology's focus on harms. We do so by developing a harms-based political ecology, which is a useful lens through which to analyze global environmental change. It is essential to understand how harms are produced and sustained, and what impacts they have on people and wildlife. This article examines the wildlife trade in Europe focusing on brown be…

  • International Relations and the non-human

    Open AccessTeresa Lappe-Osthege, Rosaleen V DuffyARTICLEReview of International Studies2024Cited by: 2

    There is a paradox in global environmental governance that policymaking must ‘follow the science’ while environmental change is itself characterised by scientific uncertainty. This paper addresses this paradox by embracing that uncertainty. We bring International Relations (IR) into conversation with animal studies to further develop conceptual debates on integrating non-human actors. We focus on avian cultures to understand the nexus between bir…

  • Harms and the Illegal Wildlife Trade

    Open AccessLaura Gutierrez, Rosaleen V DuffyARTICLECritical Criminology2024References: 45

    This paper integrates political ecology and green criminology to examine the critical endangerment of the European eel. Using a harms-based approach, our research suggests that the identification of organised crime networks as the central perpetrators of illegal wildlife trade (IWT) and of IWT itself as the main threat to eels, neglects a myriad of practices—many of which are related to legal businesses and activities—that significantly contribut…

  • Political ecologies of green-collar crime

    Open AccessGeorge Iordăchescu, Teresa Lappe-Osthege et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Politics2023Cited by: 1References: 8

    Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is commonly identified as one of the drivers of global biodiversity loss and has gained increasing attention from national governments, conservation NGOs, international institutions and the private sector. We argue that analyses of drivers and dynamics of IWT within Europe must evaluate the overlooked interconnections between legal and illegal trades. In this brief commentary, we develop a new conceptual lens that bri…

  • Disaster Making in the Capitalocene

    Shannon O’lear, Francis Massé et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Politics2022Cited by: 2References: 13

    We live in a new normal of increasing, crosscutting, and shifting patterns of disasters fueled by large-scale environmental change, from floods to wildfires to pandemics. Our intervention in this forum piece makes the case that disasters, and responses to disasters, must be understood within the context of the global political-economic system of capitalism. We situate disasters, their making, and their politics within the Capitalocene and argue t…

  • Political ecology of security

    Open AccessRosaleen V Duffy, Dan BrockingtonARTICLEJournal of Political Ecology2022Cited by: 1

    This article sets out a political ecology approach to thinking about security. It draws together conceptual debates from IR, green criminology and political ecology in order to develop new ways of thinking about and analyzing the political ecologies of security. To date political ecologists have focused on conflicts and struggles, but have not fully engaged with thinking about security. In this article we examine the ways that responses to the il…

  • Transformation beyond conservation

    Open AccessKate Massarella, A Nygren et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2021Cited by: 22References: 26

    Multiple proposals for transforming biodiversity conservation have been put forward, yet critical exploration of how transformative change is conceptualised in this context is lacking. Drawing on transformations to sustainability scholarship, we review recent proposals for transformative change in biodiversity conservation, considering the suggested goals and means of transformation. We outline the crucial role for critical social scientific inqu…

  • Crime, Security, and Illegal Wildlife Trade

    Rosaleen V DuffyARTICLEGlobal Environmental Politics2021Cited by: 1References: 29

    This article takes a political ecology approach to understanding the integration of conservation with security in tackling the illegal wildlife trade. It builds on political ecology debates on militarization by connecting it to the dynamics of global environmental politics, specifically the discursive and material support from donors, governments, and conservation nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The combined effects of a highly competitive …

  • From Racialized Neocolonial Global Conservation to an Inclusive and Regenerative Conservation

    Prakash Kashwan, Rosaleen V Duffy et al.ARTICLEEnvironment Science and Policy…2021Cited by: 42

    The recent antiracist movement in the United States and beyond inspired the Sierra Club, one of the oldest and most prestigious global conservation organizations, to distance itself from its founder John Muir’s racist views. In a statement issued in July, 2020, Sierra Club’s Executive Director, Michael Brune, said, “As defenders of Black life pull down Confederate monuments across the country, we must also take this moment to reexamine our past a…

  • Conservation and crime convergence? Situating the 2018 London Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference

    Open AccessFrancis Massé, Hilary Dickinson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Ecology2020Cited by: 3

    The 2018 London Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) Conference was the fourth and biggest meeting on IWT convened at the initiative of the UK Government. Using a collaborative event ethnography, we examine the Conference as a site where key actors defined the problem of IWT as one of serious crime that needs to be addressed as such. We ask (a) how was IWT framed as serious crime, (b) how was this framing mobilized to promote particular policy responses,…

  • The imaginary ‘Asian Super Consumer

    Open AccessJoseph Margulies, Jared D Margulies et al.ARTICLEGeoforum2019Cited by: 17References: 6

    There is increasing focus on altering consumer behavior within the conservation sector working to combat illegal wildlife trade (IWT). In this review we highlight how demand reduction campaigns can build on and reproduce problematic stereotypes that create and perpetuate a figure we characterize as the “Asian Super Consumer.” While there are numerous studies critiquing disturbing and racist narratives of particular actors engaged in the supply-si…

  • Conflict ecologies

    Open AccessPhilippe Le Billon, Rosaleen Duffy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Ecology2018Cited by: 10

    Conflict is at the core of many political ecology studies. Yet there has been limited engagement between political ecology and the field of peace and conflict studies. This lack of connection reflects in part the broader disciplinary context of these two fields. Whereas political ecology research mostly comes from disciplines that eschewed environmental determinism, such as human geography, much of peace and conflict studies is associated with po…

  • Toward a new understanding of the links between poverty and illegal wildlife hunting

    Open AccessRosaleen Duffy, Rosaleen V Duffy et al.ARTICLEConservation Biology2016

    Conservation organizations have increasingly raised concerns about escalating rates of illegal hunting and trade in wildlife. Previous studies have concluded that people hunt illegally because they are financially poor or lack alternative livelihood strategies. However, there has been little attempt to develop a richer understanding of the motivations behind contemporary illegal wildlife hunting. As a first step, we reviewed the academic and poli…

  • Nature-based tourism and neoliberalism

    Rosaleen Duffy, Rosaleen V DuffyARTICLETourism Geographies2015Cited by: 37References: 20

    Tourism, including nature-based tourism, simultaneously produces and conceals the contradictions of capitalism. This is because it relies on creating attractions, or new sources of accumulation from the very crises it produces. Nature-based tourism is promoted as a 'win-win' that can resolve the contradiction between continual economic growth and finite natural resources. This is made possible via a process of neoliberalising nature, which cuts t…

  • What Does Collaborative Event Ethnography Tell Us About Global Environmental Governance

    Rosaleen V DuffyARTICLEGlobal Environmental Politics2014Cited by: 10References: 10

    This forum places CEE at COP10 in the context of wider theoretical debates about global environmental governance. This special issue enhances our understanding of governance by examining how ideas travel and develop at meetings before they become the official documents and announcements that are the more common foci of such papers. The articles in this issue of GEP open up the ‘black box’ of decision-making and allow us to gain a better understan…

  • A Trip Too Far

    Rosaleen Duffy, Rosaleen V DuffyBOOKA Trip Too Far2013

    Environmentally-sustainable tourism or ecotourism has become a major area of interest for governments, the private sector and international lending institutions. It is regarded as a way of allowing economic development whilst protecting against environmental degradation, especially in those countries with fragile ecosystems. However, despite the beneficial intentions of ecotourism, it tends to be regarded uncritically by environmental organizatio…

    With this paper we present an analysis of sixty transnational governance initiatives and assess the implications for our understanding of the roles of public and private actors, the legitimacy of governance ‘beyond’ the state, and the North–South dimensions of governing climate change. In the first part of the paper we examine the notion of transnational governance and its applicability in the climate change arena, reflecting on the history and e…
