Politics

Publications: Contribution to bookChapter

Abstract

“Politics” is a broad concept which is used in a rather narrow sense to detect processes within and around the state or in a broader sense to look as well at the manifold societal (power) dynamics that constitute the basis and certain corridors of state politics. The different ways in which the term is understood have implications for how the ecological crisis, environmental politics and the Anthropocene are understood. Moreover, a critical understanding of politics helps in countering the de-politicising tendencies of the Anthropocene discourse.
