Taking the Nature into Account

yuti — August 27, 2009 / 8:48 am

How do we prevent our nature from destruction? Who own the nature? According to Gooetz and Jenkins (2004) whenever power is delegated by the many to the few in the interest of governability, a perpetual struggle emerge. To these perennial problems, globalization and political liberalization have added new ones. Powerful non-state actors capable of influencing the lives of ordinary people have multiplied, often act with imunity across borders and can evade the reach of conventional state-based accountability system. The question occur then is accountability of what and for whom?

In environment context, Arturo Escobar (1999) catogories 4 different formations as follows:

  1. The globally centred perspective is shared by most NGOs from the North, and is based on representations of threat of biodiversity.
  2. The sovereignty perspective, advocated by some governments, focuses on the ability of Southern countries to negotiate the terms of treaties and biodiversity conservation strategies.
  3. The biodemocracy perspective focuses on democratic control of biological resources.
  4. The cultural autonomy perspective is part of the critique of neoliberalism, and emphases different cultural approaches to nature and the need for an intercultural dialogue.

Knowing the four perspectives above, how can we take the nature into account? Can we support one country by abandoning the other?
