Whither hydrocarbons? The rescaling of global oil and gas markets amidst Covid-19 and a contested transition
Resource geography II: What makes resources political
What makes resources political? We often imagine that politics is something done to resources (i.e. larger contestations over access to and control over resources). In this second "progress report", I question whether resource politics is simply about fighting over stuff. How does the materiality of resources themselves shape broader conceptions of "the political" in general? I highlight the role of resources in shaping three central meanings of …
Reinvigorating Class in Political Ecology: Nitrogen Capital and the Means of Degradation
Chemical Geographies
The following are a series of essays that originated from panel on Chemical Geographies at the American Association of Geographers meeting in 2016. Although the essays explore different topics, collectively they call into question the relationship of geographic scholarship to chemistry
Resource geographies I: Valuing nature (or not)
The relationship between value and nature has become central to critical resource geography (and other nature-society geography). While research demonstrates the problems with efforts to extend capitalist monetary value to ecosystem services or externalities, few scholars have anchored their critiques in their own theory of value. This report reviews this bourgeoning research through a theory of value anchored in Marxian political economy. Drawin…
Global energy dilemmas: Energy security and climate change
‘Can we have secure, affordable and equitable supplies of energy that are also environmentally benign?’ This is the central ‘dilemma’ that organizes Michael Bradshaw’s useful overview of global energy issues. Bradshaw describes the ‘global energy dilemma’ as a framework of analysis (ix), but it is more a conundrum statement than an analytical framework. This statement (which reappears several times) seems to tick all the boxes of our concerns whe…
Teaching energy geography? It’s complicated
The premise of this essay is that energy geographies are complicated, and this in itself presents some pedagogical difficulties. As someone who wants students to critically examine and confront the complexity of energy systems, it can be frustrating when students react to demonstrate frustration, apathy, or even confusion. In what follows, I will lay out three complications of teaching energy geography: (1) empirical complexity, (2) confronting f…
Apocalypse, the Radical Left and the Post-political Condition
Fueling Capitalism: Oil, the Regulation Approach, and the Ecology of Capital
Despite a deepening set of socioecological contradictions, it is remarkable that oil's centrality to capitalism persists. In economic geography, the regulation approach has been useful in explaining the persistence of capitalism despite its contradictory tendencies, and scholars have recently applied the regulation approach to the geography of natural resources and environmental governance. In this article, I argue that environmental regulation t…
