New post: Political ecology and Green politics

Political ecology was the main theoretical framework of my PhD in resource conservation in East Africa. And the more I read the more I realised that a political ecology analysis fundamentally underpins much of Green politics.

Political ecology asks the uncomfortable questions about power, profit, and justice within the relationship of people and their environment that mainstream politics would rather avoid. And this reflects much of how Greens instinctively frame an issue while looking for policy answers.

It is a quite a dense academic discipline, but it's so important to a class analysis for the 21st Century of climate breakdown, soaring inequality, biodiversity destruction and rising fascism that we as Greens need to start thinking about how political ecology can challenge the mainstream neoliberal consensus in national political conversations.

So this is my attempt. https://greenisles.substack.com/p/political-ecology-and-green-politics
