지구화 시대 환경정책과 여성 = Environmental Policy and Women in the Age of Globalization

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The development process has contributed to the growth of poverty, to an increase in economic and gender-based inequalities, and to the degradation of the environment, further diminishing the livelihood of impoverished people, particularly women. The impact of environmental degradation on the health and livelihood of populations in the capitalist North as well as in the countries which have abandoned the state socialist system is a serious problem. The recognition of the limits of nature to absorb to the development agenda has fuelled the search for sustainable solutions to the crisis. Among the attempts by women to conceptualize sustainable forms of development, the recognition of the connection between the domination of both nature and women has provided important insights. In the South this recognition has stimulated the debate on women, the environment and sustainable development (WED) within the development context, while in the North it has given rise to nature feminism and ecofeminism.
In the evolution of the debates on WED since the mid-1980s, there has been a shift in positions and political priorities. In earlier discussions the emphasis was on women as victims of the environmental crisis, it later shifted to their roles as efficient environmental managers within the development process in the South. Many women have recognized that such a consensus among women globally is most urgent in view of the fact that the environmental crisis threatens the survival of us all. I think that these questions need to be raised if we, as women, are to influence the future direction of the dominant development model. This article is an attempt to explore the interconnections between the subjects of women, environmental policy, sustainable development and globalization on a theoretical level.
As to the structure of the article, in Chapter Ⅰ, I give a brief description of the character of the crisis experienced in development, and the interconnections between the subjects of feminism, environmental policy and globalization.
In Chapter Ⅱ, I explore the different positions within the critiques of environmental issues and policy and suggest some important proposals concerning the role of women.
In Chapter Ⅲ, I discuss the concept of sustainability as well as the interrelating aspects among the environment, development and women.
In Chapter Ⅳ, I analyze social ecology, ecofeminism and bio-regionalism as proposals for epistemological changes and a re-evaluation of the human/nature relationship. I pay particular attention to the utility of the concept of bio-regionalism. By way of a conclusion, I suggest a role for women and offer a new evaluation of the globalization/glocalization relationship in the approach of woman to environmental issues.
