Omar Dahbour, "Ecosovereignty: A Political Principle for the Environmental Crisis" (Routledge, 2024)

Omar Dahbour, a philosophy professor at Hunter College, specializes in political philosophy and global ethics. In this discussion, he introduces the concept of ecosovereignty, arguing it redefines sovereignty and self-determination for tackling today's environmental crisis. He critiques traditional political theories for their inadequacy in addressing ecological challenges and explores themes of food sovereignty and identity in conflict zones. Dahbour emphasizes the need for political theorists to engage with environmental issues and advocates for sustainable governance approaches.
