dc.description.abstract | The Mediterranean Basin is the largest of five regions around the world that constitute, in aggregate, the Mediterranean Woodlands, Forests, and Scrub.Biome under a commonly-used global ecological classification system. All of.these regions – the Mediterranean Basin itself as well as the similar ecological.regions in California, Chile, South Africa, and Australia – face severe ecological.degradation, largely because of agricultural practices. Traditional nation-states cannot address this ecological crisis adequately. A new form of political organization – an “Eco-State” – can and should be established for this purpose. Doing so will require a reorientation of the centuries-old notion of sovereignty, a reorientation that is already underway in some respects. The Mediterranean.Biome Eco-State would build on this momentum. It would hold binding.authority over all ecological and agricultural aspects of the territories falling.within its boundaries, thus exercising a form of blended sovereignty that it.would share with other authorities. This essay summarizes some key aspects of.such a new Mediterranean Biome Eco-State. | en_US |
