ABSTRACT

W hat do environmental politics look like when the environment at stake is understood to be fundamentally socioecological?

When there is no recourse to a baseline nature such that dueling positions can no longer be “nature versus jobs” or “destruction versus protection”? To date, scholars have convincingly demonstrated the ubiquity and complexity of social natures, but relatively little attention has been paid to understanding the politics internal to these social natures (Robbins and Moore 2013; Lave et al. 2014).
