Political Theory and the Environment
Ideologies in Action
Ideologies in Action
The political is personal
The analysis of ideology at the vernacular level requires access to peer-to-peer political discussions amongst non-specialists. It is in these discursive exchanges that political views are articulated, refined, and revised. Such exchanges are, however, difficult for the researcher to capture. Here we take c.25,000 learner comments (along with several hundred image uploads) from a Massive Open Online Course, run in conjunction between the Universi…
Taking Ideology Seriously
Variation in beliefs about ‘fracking’ between the UK and US
In decision-making on the politically-contentious issue of unconventional gas development, the UK Government and European Commission are attempting to learn from the US experience. Although economic, environmental, and health impacts and regulatory contexts have been compared cross-nationally, public perceptions and their antecedents have not. We conducted similar online panel surveys of national samples of UK and US residents simultaneously in S…

Humanism from an agonistic perspective
Public Reason and Political Action
Political theorists seeking to respond to public concerns about citizen behavior in democratic politics might turn to the literature on public reason. Within that literature, idealized citizens are expected to abide by what we call the “public-reason-giving requirement” when engaging in political acts. Here we examine what the doctrine of public reason has to say to political actors in nonideal democratic circumstances. We find that the recommend…
Anarchism and utopianism
Rational Irrationality and Simulation in Environmental Politics
Do western publics make ‘demands’ for environmental policy that they have no desire to see enacted? The thesis that they do has been put forward recently by advocates of the ‘post-ecologist’ paradigm such as Ingolfur Blühdorn. Taking the example of climate change, this article assesses survey results that provide indicative evidence that such ‘simulative’ demands may exist. I suggest that such demands are, however, best explained through conceptu…
Environmentalism, fairness, and public reasons
This paper examines the recent ‘deliberative turn’ in environmental political thought with particular regard to demands concerning the employment of public reason in democratic deliberation. Working from John Rawls’ account of the three essential elements of deliberative democracy, the paper assesses the scope for bringing environmental claims within the remit of public reason, and revisits the ‘unfairness to novel reasons’ objection against publ…

Ecological Politics and Democratic Theory
This volume examines the reasons why some despair at the prospects for an ecological form of democracy, and challenges the recent ‘deliberative turn’ in environmental political thought. Deliberative democracy has become popular for those seeking a reconciliation of these two forms of politics. Demand for equal access to a public forum in which the best argument will prevail appears to offer a way of incorporating environmental interests into the …
Imagined Autonomy
Democratic Legitimacy, Public Justification and Environmental Direct Action
This article addresses the question of whether environmental direct action against policies or institutions that are recognised as democratically legitimate can be justified. Arguments that seek to tie environmental outcomes to stipulated requirements of either the democratic process or distributive theories of justice are found wanting in this regard. However, one of the central justifications for the losers in a democratic settlement accepting …
Animal rights protest and the challenge to deliberative democracy
Political theorists are increasingly investigating the tensions between the ideal of deliberative democracy and the practices of radical political activists. This paper seeks to contribute to that debate by analysing deliberative democrats' disagreements with one particular group of political protestors – animal rights activists. The paper concentrates on two major areas of contention between these two groups: the idea of politics as a process of…
(De)contesting ideology
In this essay I seek to re‐examine the ‘what is ideology?’ question in the light of recent developments in ideology theory. We see that contemporary ideology theory tends to employ either a ‘restrictive’ or an ‘inclusive’ conception of ideology. Most theorists operating in the field of ideology study see these two approaches as both rival and exclusive. Furthermore the relationship between the analyst of ideology and the ideological field is at i…
Reassessing Ecology and Political Theory
Themost important project currently under way in environmental politicalphilosophy is the reconstruction of a positive environmental agenda whichis cognisant of the various critiques of green political thought that have beenarticulated since the ‘first wave’ of green literature in the 1960s and 70s.The context of, and justification for, this edited collection is best providedby a brief intellectual history.From the 1960s, green political thought …
Three Conceptions of Irreversibility and Environmental Ethics
Nature’ in deep ecology and social ecology
Nature' is a core principle in ecological political thought, and if political ecology has contributed anything new to the discipline of political theory, then part of what that consists in is the placing of the 'human-nature relationship' at the centre of theoretical concern. This notwithstanding, ecological political thought, and its analysis, has tended to focus upon the 'ecocentric-anthropocentric divide', and the normative question on 'values…
Deep Ecology and the Irrelevance of Morality
In his article “Deep Ecology and the Irrelevance of Morality,” Eric H. Reitan contends that, contrary to the disavowals of Fox and Naess, the “ecosophy T” concept of “Self-realization” constitutes a precondition of morality according to a “robust” Kantian moral framework. I suggest that there is a significant problem involved in rendering Self-realization compatible with a Kantian moral framework. This problem of ontological priority demonstrates…
