Preferred term
theoretical perspectives
Definition
- Theories aiming to explain the forces leading to modern environmental problems can roughly be situated in three different perspectives: human ecology, neo—Marxian political economy, and ecological modernization. Human ecology applies ecological principles to understanding societies and identifies basic material conditions such as demographic characteristics and geographic context as the forces shaping human interaction with the environment.
