Introduces the discipline of ecological political economy, an approach that synthesizes nature, production, and power relations. Environmental, political, and economic interrelationships are analyzed by contributors from backgrounds of economics, political theory, law, and theology. Key themes include the nature of community, the role of civil society in resisting and reforming modern development, the place of transnational advocacy networks, and new economic institutions.

`[A] path-breaking book that sets out to conceptualise a new ecological political economy . . . The collection offers a range of innovative analyses that highlight how changing rationalities and systems of governance, production, reproduction and exchange are implicated in the generation of local, regional and global ecological problems.' -- Robyn Eckersley, Monash University, Australia `[A] highly creative and stimulating book, well worth a thoughtful read whether one is primarily a critical theorist, a policy wonk, or a would-be guardian.' -- Thomas Princen, University of Michigan, US `Political economy is the gaping hole in green theory and practice, and the contributors in this book seek to fill it . . . There is a determined sense of realism here - not a realism that caves in to market forces and the "end of ideology", but one that seeks just and sustainable outcomes through alternative, subversive, and sometimes modest, means. . .' -- Andrew Dobson, Keele University, UK `Nature, Production, Power is a much needed compilation of excellent essays on political ecology. It greatly furthers the Canadian and international discussion about how to best bring ecology into political economy.' -- Roger Keil, York University, Canada `Nature, Production, Power establishes the pressing need for the creation of a truly ecological political economy, as an alternative to analyses that assume the world is populated only by "homo economicus", or that "the environment" is merely another policy issue area. . .' -- John Dryzek, University of Melbourne, Australia
