Geoforum (Special Issue: Political ecology in North America)

This special issue explores how political ecology, once focused on the Global South, is increasingly applied to First World contexts. Papers from a 2003 Rutgers University conference examine how global production, deindustrialization, shifting agricultural policies, migration, and Indigenous resource claims reveal new political-ecological dynamics in North America and Europe. Together, they mark a return for scholars reevaluating environmental struggles within the heart of global capitalism.
