Abstract

This Special Issue explores underrepresented aspects of the political dimensions of global warming. It includes post- and decolonial perspectives on climate-related migration and conflict, intersectional approaches, and climate change politics as a new tool of governance. Its aim is to shed light on the social phenomena associated with anthropogenic climate change, as well as its multidimensional and far-reaching political effects, including climate-induced migration movements and climate-related conflicts in different parts of the world. In doing so, it critically engages with securitizing discourses and the resulting anti-migration arguments and policies in the Global North in order to identify and give a voice to alternative and hitherto underrepresented research and policy perspectives. In this way, it aims to contribute to a fact-based, critical, and holistic approach to human mobility and conflict in the context of political and environmental crisis.

Abstract

This edited volume brings together critical research on climate change adaptation discourses, policies, and practices from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Drawing on examples from countries including Colombia, Mexico, Canada, Germany, Russia, Tanzania, Indonesia, and the Pacific Islands, the chapters describe how adaptation measures are interpreted, transformed, and implemented at grassroots level and how these measures are changing or interfering with power relations, legal pluralismm and local (ecological) knowledge. As a whole, the book challenges established perspectives of climate change adaptation by taking into account issues of cultural diversity, environmental justicem and human rights, as well as feminist or intersectional approaches. This innovative approach allows for analyses of the new configurations of knowledge and power that are evolving in the name of climate change adaptation.

Abstract

Die Außengrenzen sind zu einem umkämpften Raum der EU-Politik zwischen Grenzkontrollen und Flüchtlingsrechten geworden. Silja Klepp stellt diese Aushandlungskämpfe in einer Ethnographie der Seegrenze dar. Forschungsreisen entlang der Küsten von Libyen, Italien und Malta verbinden sich zu einem einzigartig dichten Blick auf die Zwänge und Handlungslogiken der Akteure im Grenzraum. Auf der Spur der Flüchtlinge von Süden nach Norden werden die Lage der Migrantinnen in Libyen, die Grenzschutzagentur Frontex und die Verhältnisse auf See sowie schließlich Haftzentren und andere Grenzeinrichtungen in den Ankunftsorten Malta und Süditalien illustriert und auf die europäische Politik rückbezogen. Eine intensive Perspektive auf einen umstrittenen Teil der europäischen Außenpolitik. »Eine sachkundige und zugleich lebendige Reise an die Südgrenzen Europas.« Federica Benigni, Zeitschrift für Volkskunde, 108/II (2012) »Diese Arbeit geht, obwohl sie vom Geschehen an fernen Außengrenzen der EU handelt, durchaus auch den deutschen Leser an und sei ihm/ihr empfohlen.« Dieter Hartwig, Das Historisch-Politische Buch, 60/2 (2012) »Da [die] Arbeit nicht nur als Empfehlung für politische Entscheidungen wertvoll ist, sondern auch grundsätzliche methodische und analytische Einsichten enthält, kann sie nicht nur von Ethnologinnen und Ethnologen gewinnbringend gelesen werden.« Stefanie Michels/Friedemann Neumann, www.sehepunkte.de, 2 (2012) »Ausgezeichnet. Mit der [Studie] hat Klepp Maßstäbe gesetzt.« taz, 14.02.2012 Besprochen in: Medienspiegel Deutsch-Maghrebinische Gesellschaft, 11 (2011) Wort und Antwort, 53/1 (2012), Ulrich Engel Die Brücke, 159/1 (2012) Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 3 (2012), Sabine Steppat terra cognita, 20 (2012)

Abstract

Die sozialökologische Transformation ist in aller Munde. Dies gilt sowohl für die politischen Debatten als auch für die Wissenschaft. Dabei scheint es zunehmend Konsens zu sein, dass multiple Krisen sich nicht mehr nur mit Hilfe inkrementeller (Umwelt-)Politiken lösen lassen, sondern strukturelle Veränderungen notwendig sind. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes arbeiten Gerechtigkeitsfragen und die gesellschaftspolitische Brisanz ökologischer Verteilungskonflikte im Kontext der Transformation heraus. Durch ihre Analysen unter Bezugnahme auf unterschiedliche Dimensionen von Umweltgerechtigkeit machen sie eben jene greifbar und liefern Kontextwissen für eine längst überfällige Diskussion.
