Towards a New Political Economy of Agriculture
Introduction
The discussion the turns to a consideration of the intellectual substance of the new political economy of agriculture, assessing die parameters of the field and some of the topical areas that are emerging but which were not encompassed in the Madison miniconference. Related to the changes in global economies and agricultural production, something new is occurring in the analysis of agriculture, specifically in the political economy of capitalist …
On Misunderstanding the Second Contradiction Thesis
James O’Connor’s “second contradiction” thesis is widely misunderstood as an ecological crisis theory. Most of the criticisms of the theory derive from this misreading, including those which ignore relations between ecological, personal and communal conditions and those which see the “first” and “second” contradictions as materially distinct. O’Connor himself is partially responsible for the misreading, however. His writings tended to put the eco…
Ecosocialisms, Past, Present and Future
John Bellamy Foster and his colleagues have recently argued that the project of ecosocialism should be understood in terms of a "prefigurative" and "first stage" of red-green thinkers whose insights have largely been transcended by their own work on the metabolic rift. Rift scholars have further argued that "second-stage" ecosocialists should push back against "idealist" deviations occurring amongst historical materialists concerned with the prod…
Environments, Natures and Social Theory
Nature, Sociology, and Social Justice
Environmental sociology remains on the periphery of the discipline because its traditional moment focuses on the material rather than social world and its synthetic moment looks as much like geography, anthropology, science studies, and cultural studies as it does sociology. This article will review contemporary visions of the history of nature and the environmental movement and their consequences of environmental sociological pedagogy. In doing …
Institutional and/versus commercial media coverage
In 1998, a contract was signed between the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) and Novartis in which the latter agreed to give UCB's Department of Plant and Microbial Biology US$25 million over a five year period. This Agreement was the foundation for debates that split the university over issues related to corporate control of the university, the environmental and social consequences of biotechnology, intellectual property rights, and aca…

Imperial contradictions
Marx and Nature
Capitalism, Democracy, and Ecology
The world that was revolutionized by industrialization is being remade by the information revolution. But this is mostly a revolution from above, increasingly shaped by a new class of technocrats, experts, and professionals in the service of corporate capitalism. Using Marx as a touchstone, Timothy W. Luke warns that if communities are not to be overwhelmed by new class economic and political agendas, then the practice of democracy must be recons…
