African peasant farmers have various strategies to cope with the difficulties. However, they are said to have become more vulnerable not only to physical disaster but also socio-economic threat.Vulnerability which means defencelessness, insecurity, and exposure to risk, shocks and stress, has been a key concept in the political ecology. Many studies have done which show that those who are more vulnerable are more apt to devastate their environment. So it is very important to understand better nature of people's vulnerability.In this study, (1) theoretical development process of political ecology has been surveyed, (2) the importance of vulnerability study in political ecology has been studied with reference to the risk studies, and (3) the necessity of new approaches to the study on agricultural crisis in Africa are examined.It has become clear that we need new approach to the study on agricultural crisis in Africa, which entail the shift of conceptual framework reflecting recent development in the study on sustainability and political ecology.

非洲农民有各种科普困难的策略。然而，据说他们不仅更容易受到自然灾害的伤害，而且更容易受到社会经济威胁的伤害，脆弱性意味着无防御能力、不安全、面临风险、冲击和压力，一直是政治生态中的一个关键概念。许多研究表明，那些更容易受到伤害的人更容易对他们的环境做出反应。本文首先回顾了政治生态学的理论发展历程，然后结合风险研究，探讨了脆弱性研究在政治生态学中的重要性，以及（3）非洲农业危机研究需要新的研究方法，非洲的农业危机，这意味着概念框架的转变，反映了关于可持续性和政治生态学研究的最新发展。
