socio-ecological conflicts

Anthropology’s preoccupation with the ways specific institutions mediate relations between social groups and localized ecosystems can be placed at the origin of political ecology. This line of investigation opens the black-box of “human-induced environmental change” through historical ethnographic analyses of the uneven participation of social agents in contemporary environmental processes. Focusing on the unity of extraction and exploitation in capitalist environment-making processes, the research line contributes to on-going debates about the integration of social and environmental justice.
