Embedding Green Capitalism Impacts Biofuel

项目摘要

This project seeks to analyse the social impacts of two different biofuel industries on rural livelihoods in Kenya's RiftValley, specifically communities around the towns of Nanyuki and Naivasha, focusing explicitly on social difference interms of ethnicity, class and gender. With green capitalist solutions being proposed for issues, ranging from energysecurity to conservation, there is increasing need for studies to document the social impact of these new divisions oflabour and new accumulations of capital, moving beyond simplistic monetary measurements of social development. Inother words, there is a need to understand the broader winners and losers of these projects. By comparing the crotonand jatropha biofuel industries in Kenya, this project seeks to address the lack of primary data of the social impacts ofboth biofuels and green capitalism. Theoretically, this project will be cross-disciplinary in nature, combining elements ofpolitical ecology and political economy. As this research seeks to analyse what effect the political economy of biofuelprojects has on forms of social difference, it is fundamentally concerned with divisions of labour. Political ecology alsoallows for historical context to be accounted for, especially the legacy of past social-ecological relations and interactions.The methods for this project will be based on a combination of interviews, focus group discussions, comprising of smallgroups of homogenous participants.

该项目旨在分析两种不同的生物燃料工业对肯尼亚里夫特谷农村生计的社会影响，特别是对纳纽基和奈瓦沙镇周围社区的影响，重点明确放在种族、阶级和性别方面的社会差异上。随着绿色资本主义解决方案的提出，从能源安全到保护，越来越需要进行研究，以记录这些新的劳动分工和新的资本积累的社会影响，超越简单的货币衡量社会发展。换句话说，有必要了解这些项目的更广泛的赢家和输家。通过比较肯尼亚的巴豆和麻风树生物燃料产业，该项目试图解决缺乏生物燃料和绿色资本主义社会影响的原始数据的问题。从理论上讲，这一项目将是跨学科的性质，结合政治生态学和政治经济学的元素。由于这项研究试图分析生物燃料项目的政治经济学对社会差异形式的影响，它基本上与劳动分工有关。政治生态学也考虑到历史背景，特别是过去社会生态关系和互动的遗产。本项目的方法将基于访谈，焦点小组讨论，由同质参与者组成的小组。
