Deepening the Critique: Ecological Modernization and Biocultural Diversity in the Capitalist World-System
This paper overviews two contrasting approaches, ecological modernization and biocultural diversity, to understanding and responding to the current proliferation of socioecological crises globally. Through a world-systems lens, it becomes apparent that these approaches occupy very different places within the enduring legacies of colonialism and contemporary forms of ecological imperialism/neocolonialism. At closer look, the foundational premises …
Integrating Degrowth and World-Systems Theory: Toward a Research Agenda
This short conceptual article seeks to integrate world-systems theory and degrowth. It suggests that an ecological rendering of world-systems theory can clarify some of the most important quandaries of the degrowth movement in regards to global justice, decolonialism, the excessive material throughput of the Global North, and globalization. The article reframes these concerns from a world-systems framework that recognizes global hierarchies, impe…
Ecological Contradictions of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in Malaysia
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promote a broad set of socio-economic and environmental goals. Through a case study on Malaysia, this paper investigates how economic Goal 8 (economic growth), Goal 9 (industry), and Goal 17(increased partnerships) are likely to conflict with environmental Goal 13 (climate action), Goal 14 (life below water), and Goal 15 (life on land). We analyze data from Economy-Wide Material Flows Analys…
Ecological Imperialism, Development, and the Capitalist World-System: Cases from Africa and Asia
Two major trends are currently challenging the sustainability of human civilization: extreme inequality and the ecological crisis. This book argues that these are intrinsically linked by further exploring the complex relationships between global ecological crises, neoliberal globalization, orthodox development policies, and imperialism. Drawn from extensive theoretical, historical, policy, and empirical research, as well as fieldwork in Africa an…
Strategies for Degrowth
Mariko Frame reviews The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to the World Beyond Capitalism, by Matthias Schmelzer, Andrea Vetter, and Aaron Vansintjan (Verso, 2022) and its explorations of the policies, vision, and strategies for social change required for the burgeoning movement
Ecological Imperialism: A World-Systems Approach
This article explores the complex relationships between global ecological crises and ecological imperialism through world-systems analysis. In a hierarchical capitalist world system, neoliberal globalization has granted global capital seemingly unfettered exploitation of nature across the planet. For the impoverished and marginalized in the Global South, this globalization is experienced as a form of contemporary ecological imperialism where the …
Economic Integration in Tanzania (1970–2011): A Biophysical Assessment
This article assesses the impact of economic integration on Tanzania's sociometabolic profile for the years 1970–2011, which witnessed an opening and further integration of Tanzania's economy through increased trade and foreign investment, through a time‐series economy‐wide material flows analysis (EW‐MFA). The EW‐MFA results show that contrary to the trade patterns of many developing countries, increased economic integration has resulted in Tanz…
The Neoliberalization of (African) Nature as the Current Phase of Ecological Imperialism
One of the more critical sets of literature in political ecology concerns the “neoliberalization” of the environment. Neoliberalism, according to this literature, has restructured the social and pr
