| Summary: | Political ecology approaches examine how the relation between society and
nature has historically and geographically evolved through material and
discursive practices. This grounds a perspective which explore the social
production of nature as a physical foundation of society. This article
develops a conceptual framework to integrate the dimension of scale into
political ecology. This allows political ecology approaches to understand
social processes and the transformation of nature in the context of the
production of scale. Against the background of palm oil production in
Indonesia this article argues that combing political ecology and scale
enhances our understanding of the way in which access to and control over
natural resources change over time. |
