In doing so, he theorizes current and historical struggles against resource extractions and land grabs, especially by food sovereignty and indigenous rights movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe basic idea of ecosovereignty is that peoples living in relation to particular ecosystems have a collective right to ultimate authority over those systems and the resources they contain--provided they manage them sustainably. Dahbour argues that this authority has a legitimacy that overrides that of larger states, at least with regard to matters of environmental management. Ecosovereignty claims may strengthen challenges by peoples to states and corporations seeking to control and transform lands and waters for development, against the wishes of their inhabitants. Dahbour hopes the idea will provide a powerful tool for halting extractivism and ecocide, along with the extreme violence that these processes use against farming, indigenous peoples, and nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnecting political and environmental philosophy in an innovative way, \u003ci\u003eEcosovereignty: A Political Principle for the Environmental Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e will keep scholars and students informed about an increasingly important topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOmar Dahbour\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at Hunter College and Graduate School, City University of New York, and author of \u003ci\u003eIllusion of the Peoples\u003c\/i\u003e (2003), \u003ci\u003eSelf-Determination without Nationalism \u003c\/i\u003e(2013), and other writings on global ethics, environmental philosophy, and critical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 254\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 23, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52709934956851,"sku":"9781032939018","price":92.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TgJm6N7Dot9781032939018.webp?v=1763477627","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/ecosovereignty-a-political-principle-for-the-environmental-crisis-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
