Global Far-Right Ecologies: Trends, Issues and Responses (Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right) 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

This book explores far-right authoritarian and exclusionary interpretations of environmental crises that are gaining traction globally. While research on the political ecology of the far right has grown substantially over the last decade, it has largely focused on ‘Western’, especially European, actors and contexts. As far-right ideas increasingly circulate worldwide there is an urgent need to ‘provincialize Europe’ and approach current developments from a global perspective. This volume shows how environmental governance and conservation are being mobilised by right-wing, nationalist and authoritarian forces worldwide as tools for exclusion, territorial control, and the reproduction of colonial hierarchies. Drawing on case studies spanning Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe, this volume identifies salient issues and trends shapingreactionary environmental politics. The book also spotlights activists and grassroots organisations responding to these challenges, bringing diverse voices into this vital conversation. This volume will appeal to researchers of the far right, political ecology, and environmental politics, as well as activists and organisers involved in environmental justice. Read more
