政治生态学是地理学中一个重要的研究领域，涉及我们这个时代许多最重要的问题，包括环境退化和保护的政治，自然的新自由主义化和正在进行的积累，封闭和剥夺，专注于资源的获取和控制，以及围绕知识和权力，正义和治理的环境斗争。这篇简短的介绍性论文探讨了在这一领域工作的女权主义者如何考虑这些问题的性别层面，以及政治生态如何与女权主义的目标，战略和实践相交：一个有前途的子领域的早期迭代的重点，称为女权主义政治生态。它考虑了一些认识论，政治和实践的挑战，共同可能占相对有限的作品，自我认同为女权主义政治生态。虽然这使得女权主义政治生态学很难作为政治生态学大炮内的一个子领域获得购买，但这篇介绍性文章突出了女权主义思想发展丰富这一领域工作的富有成效的新方法，这在最近出版物的繁荣中显而易见。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Political Ecology is firmly established as an important area of enquiry within Geography that attends to many of the most important questions of our age, including the politics of environmental degradation and conservation, the neoliberalisation of nature and ongoing rounds of accumulation, enclosure and dispossession, focusing on access and control of resources, and environmental struggles around knowledge and power, justice and governance. This short introductory paper considers how feminists working in this field of enquiry consider the gender dimension to such issues, and how political ecologies might intersect with a feminist objectives, strategies and practices: a focus for early iterations of a promising sub-field, labelled Feminist Political Ecology. It considers a number of epistemological, political and practical challenges that together may account for the relatively limited number of works that self-identify as feminist political ecology. Whilst this has made it difficult for Feminist Political Ecology to gain purchase as a sub-field within the political ecology cannon, this introductory piece highlights fruitful new ways that developments in feminist thinking enrich work in this field, evident in a flowering of recent publications.
