Abstract

ZORZOLI, Facundo. Capital, State and Nature: for an economic-ecological-political problematization of the contemporary environmental question. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2018, vol.24. ISSN 1853-4392.

The marxist critique of the political economy that has focused on the relationship economy-ecology and the longest-running debates over the relation between the 'political' and the 'economic' have-in general terms- developed separately. A synthesis of both lines has heuristic potential to problematize adequately the contemporary environmental question, both in regard to the forms of knowledge production and the State role. Here, we aim to problematize the political, economic and ecological forms in which the contradictory relations of capitalism and its cyclical crises are expressed, looking to integrate in theoretical terms the economic-ecological-political relations. We propose that the adequate problematization of these forms is a necessary epistemic starting point to address the uncertainty that introduces the contemporary environmental question and the eclecticism around which discourses and practices around 'sustainability' are embedded.

Keywords : Environmental problems; Political economy; Political ecology; State.
