人类世下的环境政治:概念缘起、核心议题与理论展望

Environmental Politics in Anthropocene:Concept Origin,Core Issues and Theoretical Prospect

滥觞于地质学界,被自然科学家用来论述人类活动对地球生态系统造成决定性影响的地质学概念——人类世,已随着全球环境形势的日益严峻扩散到社会科学的诸多领域并引发学术讨论。环境政治学,作为政治学对环境问题的理论思考,已接受人类世概念。人类世成为21世纪环境政治学学术讨论的重要概念。人类世下的环境政治主要涉及三方面内容,即聚焦人与自然之间关系的重新思考,关注人类世给政治运行机制所带来的挑战以及对以“地球工程”为代表的技术性解决方案进行政治性批判。人类世下的环境政治研究丰富了政治学与环境政治学发展的知识谱系,扩宽了政治学的研究视野,也构成当下环境政治学发展的前沿领域。

The Anthropocene,a geological concept originated in the field of geology and used by natural scientists to dis-cuss the decisive influence of human activities on the earth ecosystem,has spread to many fields of social sciences with the increasingly severe global environmental situation and triggered academic discussions.Environmental politics,as a theoretical thinking of political science on environmental issues,has accepted the concept of Anthropocene.Anthropocene has become an important concept in academic discussions of environmental politics in the 21st century.Environmental politics in the Anthropocene mainly involves three aspects,namely focusing on rethinking the relationship between man and nature,the challenges brought by the Anthropocene to the political operation mechanism,and politically criticizing the technical solution represented by“geoengineering”that dominates the Anthropocene.The study of environmental poli-tics in the Anthropocene enriches the knowledge genealogy of development of political science and environmental poli-tics,broadens the research perspective of political science,and constitutes the frontier field of the development of envi-ronmental politics at present.
