Often this is done under the mantle of conservation, economic development, and sustainable management, but still involves a quest to \"civilize\" and control all aspects of nature for a specific purpose. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe results of this form of environmental management and governance are many, but by and large, across the globe, it has meant governments construct a specific idea regarding nature and the environment. These forms of control also extend beyond the natural environment, allowing for particular methods of managing human and non-human populations in order to maintain power and enact sovereignty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume contributes to advancing an 'ecology of freedom, ' which can critique current anthropocentric environmental destruction, as well as focusing on environmental justice and decentralized ecological governance. While concentrating on these areas of anarchist political ecology, three major themes emerged from the chapters: the legacies of colonialism that continue to echo in current resource management and governance practices, the necessity of overcoming human\/nature dualisms for environmental justice and sustainability, and finally discussions and critiques of extractivism as a governing and economic mentality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Mateer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538159163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538159163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Jennifer Mateer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993215009023,"sku":"9781538159163","price":121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b95a0f8-f8f4-4602-8508-3dbf19c0578f.jpg?v=1683323137","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/energies-beyond-the-state-jennifer-mateer-9781538159163","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
