Abstract:
|
There are two predominant modes for examining environmental regulation, which can be thought of as the economic and the ecological, or the anthropocentric and the ecocentric. These modes inform two literatures on international environmental politics that seem largely to speak past each other. But even though the anthropocentric mode, based on the ideas of environmental economics, presents itself as a self-sufficient mode of analysis for international environmental politics, it is not. It requires an implicit ecocentric underpinning in order to generate any but the most short-term forms of environmental management. This paper will both present the logic behind this assertion, and discuss its implications. |

Box 117325 Gainesvile FL 32611 (352) 392-0262 ext. 222 barkin@polisci.ufl.edu Paper prepared for presentation at the annual conference of the International Studies Association Honolulu March 1-5 2005. Analyses of environmental politics generally come from one of two philosophical starting points an anthropocentric perspective which includes environmental economincs or an ecocentric perspective. With respect to any given environmental policy question the |

In deciding among different policy goals among different levels of normative commitment to environmental issues we need to begin with ecocentric analysis rather than environmental economics. In other words we need to begin by asking what the natural environment should be like in the future as a separate question |
