The Categorial Framework of the Environmental Crisis in a Global Context
The present work is structured around the construction of a set of categories from which to propose a synthesis of the stance taken by critical environmental thought regarding the analysis of the features of the environmental crisis that are specific to the globalization process. This analysis intends to infer the relationship between the characteristics of advanced modernity and the deepening of the environmental crisis. It takes into account the contradictions that can be envisaged between its increasingly apparent symptoms and the difficulties involved in implementing alternative strategies for possible solutions, considering the capacity of the system to integrate its own distorting elements through mechanisms of reproduction, as a consequence of which the underlying power relations of the process of environmental disruption remain unchanged.
