商品描述
A compelling proposal for new international law and institutions to address the planetary crisis that improves biodiversity protection, supports Indigenous peoples, and prevents catastrophic climate change.
In The Ecology Politic, Anthony Burke and Stefanie Fishel contend that the roots of our planetary crisis lie in the modern state: in its destructive entanglement with capitalism and its colonial legacies of extraction and oppression. This, in turn, has shaped global governance and international law, as they continue to fail to curb global heating, deforestation, and extinction. In a far-reaching critique of the foundational political theory of the modern state--the Body-Politic--the authors insist that nothing less than a radically different model of the polity--an Ecology Politic--is needed if we are to escape this impasse. Burke and Fishel argue that the international rule of law enacts a sovereign ban of nature that appropriates nonhuman lives for profit and use while denying them political and legal standing. We fail because we rely on the very institutions, worldviews, and systems that generated the crisis to solve it. The authors reconsider political power, agency, scale, and democracy in the Anthropocene and assert a biospheric ethic that values the entangled planetary structure of matter, energy, and life. Further, they argue for more-than-human beings to be represented in an ecological democracy that flows across borders. In short, they imagine a polity whose fundamental purpose is to protect planetary ecosystems and nurture interlocking systems of social and ecological justice.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
一項引人注目的提案，旨在建立新的國際法和機構，以應對行星危機，改善生物多樣性保護，支持原住民，並防止災難性的氣候變化。
在The Ecology Politic中，安東尼·伯克（Anthony Burke）和斯特凡妮·菲舍爾（Stefanie Fishel）主張，我們的行星危機根源於現代國家：它與資本主義的破壞性糾纏以及其殖民遺產的開採和壓迫。這反過來又塑造了全球治理和國際法，因為它們持續未能遏制全球變暖、森林砍伐和物種滅絕。在對現代國家基礎政治理論——身體政治（Body-Politic）——的深遠批評中，作者堅持認為，如果我們要擺脫這一僵局，就需要一種徹底不同的政治模式——生態政治（Ecology Politic）。伯克和菲舍爾認為，國際法治實施了一種主權對自然的禁令，將非人類生命用於獲利和利用，同時剝奪了它們的政治和法律地位。我們失敗的原因在於，我們依賴於那些產生危機的機構、世界觀和系統來解決它。作者重新考慮了人類世中的政治權力、行動能力、規模和民主，並主張一種生物圈倫理，重視物質、能量和生命的交織行星結構。此外，他們主張在跨越國界的生態民主中，應該代表超越人類的存在。簡而言之，他們想像一種政治體，其根本目的是保護行星生態系統並培育社會與生態正義的相互聯繫系統。作者簡介
