The Earth is Not a Globe: Landscape versus the ‘Globalist’ Agenda
‘Globalism’ can be defined as a mode of thought deriving from the practice of thinking globally, both literally and figuratively. Globalism not only informs major trends within governance and economics, it also informs environmental issues, not least those related to global warming. It will be argued, using the example of the production of energy and power, that there may well be a built-in contradiction between globalism and the interests of landscape as the diverse place of people, polity and nature. This study discusses the theoretical and practical implications of such a contradiction.
