Abstrakti

Recent developments in the field of political ecology have resonance for themes in northern Geography. In this review, we briefly summarize areas of emerging theory in the field, pointing to the way Political Ecology has come to explore difficult questions for reconciling constructivist accounts of environmental change with material ecologies and for understanding and thinking about scientific expertise and technologies of measurement. Briefly connecting these theoretical problems with cases of environmental change, conservation, and forestry from the Finnish context, we suggest advances in political ecology open new questions and new empirical research problems for the Nordic context.
