Introduction
The Call for Papers for this Special Issue of New Political Science “Beyond Citizenship and the Nation-State” was written in what now seems an utterly different time: Fall 2019. This Special Issue

The administrative making of the recycler
The New York Department of Sanitation's recycling program is under threat by an “an organized, sophisticated mob of scavenger collectives.” How is this “mob” threatening the NYC Department of Sanitation? They are removing scrap metals before the city can collect it. We use this event as an entry into exploring the practice of recycling in relation to administrative constructs through the lens of deliberative policy analysis (DPA). We discuss how …

Indeed, climate change will likely frame li…

Drawing upon the work of Herbert Marcuse, this article identi…

As social critique, these displays examine the political and economic causes and consequences of waste production and resulting ecological degradation. Drawing on Herbert Marcuse’s conceptions of aesthetics, liberation, and ecology in capitalism, this article attempts to …
Capitalist Logics, Pollution Management, and the Regulation of Harm
The means and conditions of capitalist production and accumulation encourage and necessitate the exploitation of labor and the environment through sustained and continual crises of over-production
Introduction to the Symposium
Utopia is, in its literal sense, an impossible place. If utopia is impossible, why does it captivate our political imagination so? Utopian narratives present a vision of the world with alternative
