随着人类文明准备迎接气候变化带来的日益严峻的挑战，环保主义者的言论已被纳入其他政治变革运动中。环境保护主义者和生态学家运动与公民和民族主义政治运动的历史趋同揭示了两者之间看似自然的亲和力。从苏联解体后俄罗斯的反核环保主义动员到支持纳粹崛起的生态学家情绪，我计划调查生态民族主义实践在地方和国家政治动员中的功效。根据社会动员理论，我认为民族主义领导人经常将环境动员资源商品化，只会限制环保运动的长期有效性。我不仅认为民族主义侵蚀了环保资源，而且认为民族主义的核心价值观与环境主义和生态主义根本不一致。当国际社会努力寻找解决气候变化和生物多样性丧失等全球环境威胁的办法时，有必要了解生态民族主义团体在推动和阻碍环境保护主义者和生态学家团体的目标方面所发挥的历史作用。
As human civilization prepares to rise up to the increasingly serious challenges presented by climate change, environmentalist rhetoric has been incorporated into other movements for political change. The historic convergence of environmentalist and ecologist movements with civic and ethnic nationalist political movements has revealed a seemingly natural affinity between the two. From anti-nuclear environmentalist mobilization in post-Soviet Russia to the ecologist sentiments underpinning the rise of the Nazis, I plan to investigate the efficacy of eco-nationalist praxis in local and national political mobilization. Drawing on theories of social mobilization, I argue that the nationalist leaders often commodify environmental mobilization resources, and only serve to limit the prolonged effectiveness of the environmentalist movement. Not only do I argue that nationalism erodes environmentalist resources, but also that the core values of nationalism are fundamentally inconsistent with environmentalism and ecologism. As the international community struggles to find solutions to global environmental threats such as climate change and biodiversity loss, it is essential to understand the historical role played by eco-nationalist groups in advancing and hindering the goals of environmentalist and ecologist groups.
