Political Ecology

Political ecology is a field that examines the relationships between ecological systems and political, economic, and social factors. It analyzes how power dynamics, governance, and historical contexts influence environmental issues such as resource management and pollution. By exploring the interconnectedness of human societies and the environment, political ecology highlights how environmental problems often reflect broader social inequalities and conflicts. Ultimately, it seeks to understand how political decisions impact ecological conditions and vice versa, advocating for more equitable and sustainable solutions to environmental challenges.
