Geos → territory → security
This forum contribution grapples with the earthly origins of Michael Albert's notion of Abolitionist Ecological Security. We recognize security as an inherently spatial matter and examine security-ecology relations via geographical work on the geos and geopower. We argue that in the binding of security to ecology, the idea takes an analytical concept that is already spatially freighted: the fiction of security obscures the earthly origins of ecol…
Armed ‘Green’ Disaster Capitalism
Despite consistent debunking, climate conflict narratives remain dominant in Euro-American great power discourse and practice. This article reveals the role of these narratives in justifying capitalist climate strategies and technologies, and their application to the military. We argue that the branding of armed forces as ‘green’ and central to the ‘fight’ against climate change is an expression of ‘disaster capitalism’: now armed and greened to …
The military green transition
Picking up arms against a collapsing planet
The current era of intensified militarization is exemplified by the number of inter-state armed conflicts (the highest since the end of the Second World War), increased risk of nuclear weapons use, and an unprecedented global arms trade. Simultaneously, the climate crisis results in widespread damage and biodiversity decline. Despite the socio-ecological harm of warfare and military buildup, many responses to declining climate and biodiversity co…
La producción de armas como la «madre de la sostenibilidad»
In this paper I examine how European arms lobbies are repurposing definitions of social and environmental sustainability to legitimise and expand military-industrial production. Through the concept of «armed sustainability» I capture how ethical finance frameworks are being reframed to position European arms production as a precondition for peace, security and climate action. The equation of military-industrial growth with sustainability is enabl…
Politique étrangère pour la justice écologique ou colonialisme écologique ? Les troublantes relations éco-militarisées des États-Unis et de l’Allemagne avec Israël
In what ways might the concept of ‘planetary health’ lead us to think differently about contemporary global challenges? How could the resulting insights promote the changing of current practices
In 2022, the United Nations Secretary General declared that ‘we are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator’ (Guterres 2022). In 2023, he affirmed, ‘Humanity has opened the ga
