Theories of Political Ecology: Monopoly Capital Against People and the Planet

Open access
Ajl, Max·2023·Agrarian South: Journal of Political Economy

Abstract

This article engages with and critiques dominant theories of political ecology. It takes the theory of ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) as the framework of critique. It assesses the claims of “fossil capitalism,” eco-modernism, extractivism, and degrowth, as well as the theories of “post-development.” It finds that with the exception of degrowth, none of them take imperialism or the global history of accumulation sufficiently seriously, and either displace transformative obligations wholly onto the South or adopt a framework which centers merely the agency of the Northern working class or a class-blind movement of movements. Instead, it proposes modifications of EUE based on the polarized nature of accumulation and waste production and distribution, and neocolonialism. It uses that framework to identify the antisystemic role of nature-reliant peripheral semi-proletarian classes, and from there reopens the debate on appropriate-scale industrialization along with ecological transformations of agriculture as paths to development in the twenty-first century.

Written from the paper’s full text.

TL;DR

This article critiques dominant political ecology theories—fossil capitalism, eco-modernism, extractivism, degrowth, and post-development—arguing that most neglect imperialism, polarized accumulation, and the global history of accumulation. It proposes modifying ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) through value theory, waste production/distribution, and neocolonialism, and reopens debate on appropriate-scale industrialization and agroecological transformation under national liberation.

Key findings

  • Fossil capitalism and eco-modernism are criticized for overprivileging CO₂/climate, assuming linear proletarianization, and ignoring imperial war, South-North value flows, super-exploitation, and peripheral energy-poor populations; eco-modernism is also faulted for technological neutrality and inattention to class analysis.
  • Extractivism is judged conceptually incoherent because all production appropriates nature while exploitation is capitalism-specific; it displaces politics onto the South, neglects imperialism, sanctions, coups, and regional anti-imperialist struggles, and lacks a serious development or planning theory.
  • Degrowth goes further than other Northern theories on Northern transformation, EUE, and climate debt, but often avoids value theory, deploys a simplified conceptual apparatus, and remains vague on peripheral paths and alliances, risking recuperation.
  • EUE is useful but not a universal theory of imperialism; the article reworks it around value theory, waste, neocolonialism, and domestic class structures, identifying nature-reliant peripheral semi-proletarian and peasant classes as antisystemic agents, and argues that artisanal production and small-scale farming cannot be generalized for most of humanity, noting almost 50% of poor humanity not living in the countryside.

Methods

  • Theoretical/critical review essay and immanent critique of selected political ecology strands: fossil capitalism, eco-modernism, extractivism, degrowth, post-development, and EUE.
  • Draws on Marxist political economy, dependency/neocolonial theory, EUE literature, and agrarian/development debates; no empirical dataset or formal quantitative analysis is used.
  • Proposes modifications to EUE and reopens debates on sovereign, ecologically modulated industrialization, agroecology, and national liberation.

Limitations

  • The paper states it is not a reconstructive survey or genealogy and focuses on selected strands prominent in the core; it also says it cannot adequately enter the debate on ecological civilization and highlights remaining open questions.
  • Evident from the text: the argument is conceptual and selective rather than empirically tested or systematically comparative, relying on secondary literature and normative political analysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
