ABSTRACT
The conclusion aims to draw together some of the main arguments of the book and raise new questions for future research. It revisits the traditions of thought in political economy introduced in Chapter 1, and emphasizes the dialectic and multidimensional character of the relationship between ecology and the global economy. It discusses the question of the ‘global governance’ of both environment and the global economy, deliberately leaving this discussion to the end of the book so as to situate it squarely in political economy questions as opposed to the managerial, depoliticised way that both global economic and global environmental governance are often discussed.
