Abstract
ABSTRACT The article aims to make explicit connections between bioregionalism and Karl Polanyi’s work, through an avenue, which has been unexplored so far. A combination of his lesser-known work on regional planning and his ecologically informed ideas about habitation on the one hand, and core ideas of bioregionalism on the other, provide a prospective basis for a future beyond global capitalism. The main argument is that, with such a combination “reembedding through reinhabitation” emerges as a substantial strategy for regional planning. I will then consider this strategic idea further in the article as the substance of the politics of regionalism. I will discuss the crucial questions of bioregional formation along these lines and elaborate conclusions regarding their relevance for political strategy.
期刊介绍:
CNS is a journal of ecosocialism. We welcome submissions on red-green politics and the anti-globalization movement; environmental history; workplace labor struggles; land/community struggles; political economy of ecology; and other themes in political ecology. CNS especially wants to join (relate) discourses on labor, feminist, and environmental movements, and theories of political ecology and radical democracy. Works on ecology and socialism are particularly welcome.
