摘要：ABSTRACT – For so many years, academics have been discussing problems of society and the environment in isolation from each other. Yet the issue of development brings the separation of these two areas of study to the fore, prompting questions about the merit, or moreover even the possibility of academically separating these two fields on the question of environmental degradation. Much of the world lives in increasingly marginalized environments - but is this situation due solely to ecological factors, or are there other forces at work? This essay seeks to engage with the theory of political ecology and reveal the unequal power relations inherent within what are otherwise viewed as apolitical environmental problems. A better understanding of this body of thought is essential to approaching issues of environmental degradation in the context of the Global South.
