The New Routledge Handbook of Political Ecology offers a state-of-the-art exploration of contemporary political ecology, grounded in the field's radical foundations and its longstanding connections to political activism.This book is organised around the field's engagement with contemporary political issues, spanning across 56 chapters. Section One explores Decolonising Political Ecology, Section Two examines Activism & Praxis, and Section Three focuses on the Making of Twenty-first Century Natures. Adopting an inclusive, cross-disciplinary approach, the book features a gender-balanced and ethnically diverse range of authors, including contributions from scholars at various career stages. This diverse representation is reflective of commitment to challenging established hierarchies within political ecology - not only in the topics we examine but also in recognizing the varying perspectives researchers themselves bring to the field. This editorial strategy has proven intellectually enriching, resulting in a dynamic collection that broadens and deepens our understanding of what political ecology is and what it can achieve.Together, as editors and 97 contributors, we contribute a forward-looking overview of contemporary Political Ecology, offering an essential reference for scholars conducting research that is relevant, ethical, critical, and, hopefully, transformative, as well as for activists and communities involved in environmental conflicts and struggles around the world.
About the Author: Jessica Hope is a Lecturer in Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. Her ERC funded research develops infrastructural political ecology, investigating road building and its alternatives in the Western Amazon in sites crucial for responses to climate change - Indigenous territories, conservation areas and cities. She is an editor at Geoforum.Elia Apostolopoulou is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London. Her research bridges Political Ecology and Human and Urban Geography, focusing on how infrastructure projects and investments in the built environment shape socionatures, places, and livelihoods, often intensifying environmental, social, and spatial injustices. A significant aspect of her work is understanding the responses of affected communities and the role of grassroots activism in fostering resistance and opening pathways for radically different futures. Elia is also a Senior Associate at the University of Cambridge and an editor at Dialogues in Human Geography.Y Ariadne Collins is Lecturer of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, UK. Her work lies at the intersection of climate change governance, environmental policy and international development. More specifically, she analyses the interplay between market-based conservation and post-colonial development.
