今天的全球化既是国际和谐的问题，也是在我们这个星球上共同生活的必要条件。生态、经济、科技、政治的相互联系日益紧密，国家和社会的联系日益密切，对合作的需求日益迫切。地球政治认为，在未来几十年里，全球治理将不得不容纳差异，即使它消除了距离，并且将不得不尊重当地的许多方面，同时发展超越地方主义的机构。本书分析了各种平衡当地和全球的环境治理方法，以鼓励新的、更灵活的全球治理框架。在理论层面上，它借鉴了科学技术研究领域的见解，丰富了我们对环境发展政治的理解。在实用层面上，它讨论了如何设计机构和程序来解决日益拒绝停留在国家边界内的环境治理问题。书中的案例展示了知识和权力之间的关键关系--我们理解环境问题的方式和我们管理环境问题的方式之间的联系--并说明了形成知识权力的不同路径，以及对知识权力的争夺、辩护或搁置。通过研究从世界银行到太平洋西北部的Makah部落等地方和全球行为者如何应对全球化的矛盾，作者确定了在全球和地方之间更有效地参与环境治理的一些条件。
Globalization today is as much a problem for international harmony as it is a necessary condition of living together on our planet. Increasing interconnectedness in ecology, economy, technology, and politics has brought nations and societies into ever closer contact, creating acute demands for cooperation. Earthly Politics argues that in the coming decades global governance will have to accommodate differences even as it obliterates distance, and will have to respect many aspects of the local while developing institutions that transcend localism.This book analyzes a variety of environmental-governance approaches that balance the local and the global in order to encourage new, more flexible frameworks of global governance. On the theoretical level, it draws on insights from the field of science and technology studies to enrich our understanding of environmental-development politics. On the pragmatic level, it discusses the design of institutions and processes to address problems of environmental governance that increasingly refuse to remain within national boundaries.The cases in the book display the crucial relationship between knowledge and power--the links between the ways we understand environmental problems and the ways we manage them--and illustrate the different paths by which knowledge-power formations are arrived at, contested, defended, or set aside. By examining how local and global actors ranging from the World Bank to the Makah tribe in the Pacific Northwest respond to the contradictions of globalization, the authors identify some of the conditions for creating more effective engagement between the global and the local in environmental governance.
