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.
“Including case studies and interviews with environmental activists, Global Far-Right Ecologies – the first truly global perspective on how the far right frames environmental issues and climate change – is a must read for anyone interested in the nexus between the far right and environmental crises today.”
Jonathan Olsen, Texas Woman’s University, USA
“For environmental activists, this volume is a lifeline. Reading about different places and struggles worldwide helps us feel less isolated in our efforts, challenges our sense of exceptionalism, and questions the ideology that informs our practice. For academics, it’s an invitation to untangle the complex nuances of conservation and coercion, “green” rhetoric and authoritarianism, development and dispossession. Empirically rich and politically grounded, this book will change how you perceive the various shades of green, not just the flattering ones.”
Iva Marković, Programme Director, Organisation for Political Ecology, Serbia
“This volume documents far-right ecological politics across often underexplored regions whilst amplifying marginalised voices in far-right and environmental scholarship. Its integration of activist interviews with analyses of extractivism and green authoritarianism, coupled with its deliberate provincialising of Europe, makes it an indispensable and global intervention.”
