Capitalism
Nature Socialism is
an international red-green journal of theory and politics, published
by the Center
for Political Ecology
(CPE), in cooperation with
Taylor and Francis Group.
Key themes are the dialectics of human and natural
history; labor and land; workplace struggles and community struggles;
economics and ecology; and the politics of ecology and ecology of
politics. The journal is especially concerned to join (and relate)
discourses on labor, ecology, feminist and community movements;
and on radical democracy and human rights.
As a journal of theory and politics, CNS's first aim is to help
build a critical red-green intellectual culture, which we regard
as essential for the development of a red-green politics. To this
end, we have helped to establish sister journals in Italy,
Spain, and France and we collaborate with like-minded publications,
scholars, and activists in Germany, the UK, Brazil, Mexico, India,
and many other countries and regions.
CNS publishes four times a year. It is edited in Santa Cruz, California,
and by editorial groups in Boston, Toronto, and the UK. Roughly
half of the journal's editors-at-large live and work in the South.
Through formal and informal international networks, CNS has access
to the very best red-green thinking around the world. CNS authors
include Joan Martínez Alier, Ramachandra Guha, Enrique Leff,
Alain Lipietz, Mary Mellor, Valentino Parlato, Maria Pilar Garcia,
Victor Toledo, and other overseas figures in the international red-green,
feminist movement, as well as younger scholars and activists whose
work CNS is making known to English-speaking readers.
CNS is non-sectarian. We are affiliated with no political party
or organized political tendency and are open to diverse views within
global radical ecology/ecological radical movements. While we are
a political journal, we try to maintain high standards of scholarship,
as well to encourage discussion and debate about all the themes
and issues bearing on our general subject.
We publish essays and research articles, Symposia, Briefs, Book
Review Essays, Book Reviews and Book Notes. CNS also publishes four
regular columns by Paul Buhle, Mike Davis, J. Donald Hughes, Richard
Lewontin and Richard Levins, and Kate Soper.
