A review essay on books by: Rosi Braidotti, Ewa Charkiewicz, Sabine Hausler, & Saskia Wieringa, Women, the Environment and Sustainable Development (London: Zed Press, 1994); Maria Mies & Vandana Shiva, Ecofeminism (London: Zed Books, 1993); Val Plumwood, Feminism and the Mastery of Nature (London: Routledge, 1993); Joni Seager, Earth Follies: Feminism, Politics and the Environment (London: Earthscan, 1993); & Vandana Shiva (Ed), Close to Home: Women Reconnect Ecology, Health and Development Worldwide (Philadelphia: New Society Publishers, 1994 [see listings in IRPS No. 79]). Reflections on ecofeminism are offered in the course of reviewing these books, which share as a starting point the critique of Western culture. Seager examines the institutions of Western domination -- business, government, the military -- while critically exploring the role of the ecological establishment in the West's environmental problems. Seager's book offers excellent analyses of green consumerism & the intrusion of Western capitalist patriarchy into the green movements & green issues. Plumwood offers a critique of Western traditions of thought, arguing that platonic & Cartesian forms of dualism have been the key mechanism of Western patriarchal domination. Mies & Shiva offer a critique of maldevelopment & colonization, examine the politics of consumption, & address criticisms of Western science & technology; other issues covered include the importance of women's grass-roots struggles & women as guardians of biodiversity. Shiva examines the interconnections among women, health, & the environment over a range of topics, including the ecological & political consequences of ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka & ecological economics. Braidotti et al offer a useful & well-theorized overview of the gender & development debate. W. Howard

Offers an ecofeminist consideration of knowledge, nature, & the social that endorses a critical realist understanding based on the social constructedness of languages & disciplines. Like dialectics, this approach depends on an assumption of overdetermination & flows constantly between the abstract & concrete. Such knowledge is identified as tacit when recognition of internally linked forces is not verbally articulated. Lay knowledge, often mistaken for tacit knowledge, is occasionally deemed to stay on the concrete level. However, it is here argued from an ecofeminist perspective that political interests limit the further development of lay knowledge into discourse. K. Coddon

This essay aims to establish that feminism & ecologism, when linked have a potential that exceeds the sum of its parts. Feminism & ecologism as bodies of thought meet most frequently in the field of ecofeminism. This is not the most exciting or profitable terrain on which they can address each other. Rather, feminism & ecologism can meet on two coexisting levels. The first concerns matters of content -- specifically their shared concern with certain issues & concepts. The second is their respective natures: both have emancipatory & utopian potential. 34 References. Adapted from the source document.

In the context of climate change and rising risk of environmental crisis caused by pollution and unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, the concept of environmental security, primarily defined as the resilience of countries and individuals to the challenges of environmental degradation, is rapidly obtaining the interest of general public and experts from various scientific disciplines. However, it seems that the gender aspect of security in general, and particularly of environmental security has not been given the amount of attention it deserves until recently. Thanks to the ecofeminist movement, based upon the idea that women are more closely related to nature than men and more vulnerable and susceptible to the negative impacts of environmental degradation (especially those emerging as the consequences of pollution and climate change), the role of women in the improvement of environmental security through participation in decision-making processes in legislation and public policy making is finally being recognised. The aim of this paper is to analyse the modern concept of environmental security as well as the evolution and contemporary discourses within ecofeminist movements and to explain the link between them, i.e., the contribution of ecofeminism to the shift in the approach to environmental security in the sense of taking into consideration the rights and interests of women as more common victims of negative environmental impacts as well as their potentials as relevant stake holders in this field.
