- Our purpose in this chapter is to give a brief perspective on islands in global historical-political ecology, focusing on ecologically unequal exchange and the formation of landesque capital. We emphasize how these processes are intertwined and recursively connected in broader contexts of uneven development. Empirical examples draw on our research into the historical-political ecology of islands and archipelagos which have since 1949 been geopolitically part of Taiwan, the Republic of China: Kinmen (Quemoy) Island in the Fukien Province of China, the Penghu Archipelago (Pescadores) in the Taiwan Strait, and Pongso no Tau (Lanyu, Orchid Island), a northern outlier of the Batanes Islands, southeast of Taiwan. The aim is not so much to draw comparisons between these cases as to draw connections, both between the processes of ecologically unequal exchange and formation of landesque capital, and between the peripheral islands and the global political economy/ecology of which they are part.

- Pastoralist populations in East Africa appear in the archaeological record 4,000–4,500 years ago, and specialized pastoralism has occurred and disappeared at different times and places over the last two or three millennia (Gifford-Gonzales 1998). While these geographically widespread pastoral societies have received much scholarly attention from a variety of disciplines, the prevailing interpretation of the long history of this socio-ecological specialization focuses on local and/or regional economic and ecological conditions. Yet, the emergence, maintenance, and spread of this form of livelihood as a productive specialization must be explained and not taken for granted. In the literature on East Africa, authors often view pastoralism as an unproblematic consequence of favorable environmental conditions and herd growth (e.g., Spencer 1998: 2–3; Marshall 1990; Schneider 1979). I argue here, like Henrichsen (2000), that pastoralism must be analyzed not as a given natural condition but as a result of wealth accumulation, which is historically constructed in contexts of social and economic world-system linkages. Furthermore, I argue that while instances of pastoralism may have occurred as local developments in time and space, the periods of widespread geographical and demographic expansions and contractions of pastoralist societies during the last millennium are linked to the global trade in ivory, and thus to the world-system.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since the European conquest of Latin America, mechanisms and justifications for unequal access to and control over natural resources have developed in tandem with racial ideologies and institutions. Conceiving race and racism as sociocultural systems that evolve historically with and through the organization of human-environment relations, this chapter considers cases in which racism supported the expropriation of land from subordinate populations for purposes of colonial profit or national/capital development together with recent cases in which resignified racial visions have been mobilized by non-dominant groups in struggles to “reclaim” land. Differential rights to and powers over land, and differential visions for land use, have been key in the construction of diverse racial identities, and in accompanying senses of entitlement, agency and political possibility.
