CHAPTER

Redefining Sovereignty: The Framework of Eco-Sovereignty

This chapter discusses the pivotal concept of 'peoples' in political theory and introduces the principle of eco-sovereignty, which reimagines political authority through the lens of environmental stewardship. It contrasts traditional notions of sovereignty with emerging perspectives that advocate for local and community-driven governance to address ecological challenges. By emphasizing the importance of identity, land, and sustainable practices, the chapter calls for a reevaluation of political structures in light of environmental justice.
