Capital Accumulation, Racialisation and the Politics of Ecocide

The language of ‘ecocide’ has become an increasingly important tool in the arsenal of those seeking to oppose and contest the continued environmental destruction of the planet.

Particular important in this regard have been recent proposals to create an international crime of ecocide for inclusion in the Rome State of the International Criminal Court.
