Theory of regulation and political ecology: an inevitable separation?

Abstract: Departing from a critique of Alain Lipietz's concept of Political Ecology for its failure to integrate Political Ecology and the Theory of Regulation, we present a possible way of integrating the two approaches via the formulation of a sixth structural form: social relations towards nature or ecological constraint. Finally, we illustrate the usefulness of this category by applying it to an analysis of recent developments in the biotechnology industry.

“…New conceptions of urban metabolism are emerging from these critical approaches that see it as embedded in structures of capital accumulation. For example, several scholars have questioned how relations of dependency are shaped and challenged across multiple scales in the appropriation and transformation of nature through urban processes (Becker and Raza ). For instance, Allen () examines how, following the adoption of neoliberal reforms in the last quarter of the twentieth century, the fish processing sector in cities in Argentina shifted from a relatively stable accumulation process—organized around the minimization of industrial costs, domestic capital, wage labor, and an “underexploited” resource base—to a situation of overfishing, internationalization of capital, and flexible production based on the establishment of a precarious labor force.…”

“…Other regulationist analyses have followed this impulse by calling for the addition of a "sixth institutional form" that addresses "the ecological constraint" (Becker and Raza 1999;Zuindeau 2007;Chester 2010). Other regulationist analyses have followed this impulse by calling for the addition of a "sixth institutional form" that addresses "the ecological constraint" (Becker and Raza 1999;Zuindeau 2007;Chester 2010).…”

“…By positioning the ecological "dimension" as its own level of analysis, Gandy and others foreclosed the possibility that the traditional "institutional forms" of interest in regulation theory could be analyzed from an ecological perspective. Other regulationist analyses have followed this impulse by calling for the addition of a "sixth institutional form" that addresses "the ecological constraint" (Becker and Raza 1999;Zuindeau 2007;Chester 2010). But as Chester (2010, 31) questioned, "Does this mean that these [other] institutional forms have no association or interaction with the economic-environmental relation?…”

“…En revanche, force est de constater que, depuis son émergence et son renforcement, cette théorie ne s'est guère préoccupée d'environnement (Lipietz, 1995) et moins encore de développement durable. Certes, ces dernières années, un certain nombre de contributions sont à relever qui visent à rapprocher "régulation" et "problématique environnementale" (Gibbs, 1996 ;Becker, Raza, 2000 ;Zuindeau, 2001 ;Gendron, 2001 ;Rousseau, 2002), mais, pour autant, il est clair que ne s'est pas constituée une complète analyse régulationniste de l'environnement. À supposer que les prémices existants soient prolongées et approfondies, une telle analyse aurait pour objet de préciser les liens généraux entre les concepts fondamentaux de la théorie de la régulation (régime d'accumulation, mode de régulation, formes institutionnelles, mode de développement…) (Boyer, Saillard, 1995) Une intuition forte et un début de démonstration soutiennent, en effet, l'idée que les externalités environnementales sont variables, dans leur mode de formation et dans leur mode de régulation, suivant les régimes économiques en vigueur (Zuindeau, 2001).…”

“…Par exemple, le régime fordiste, promoteur de l'État-Providence, serait, dans une telle approche, à relier à la manière dont sont appréhendés les problèmes environnementaux, préoccupation croissante mais demeurant subalterne face à la constitution de la norme de consommation, et la manière dont ils sont traités, "curativement" et en associant le principe pollueur-payeur et la solidarité collective. Des auteurs ont même souhaité aller plus loin et ont voulu voir dans l'environnement une véritable sixième forme institutionnelle (Becker, Raza, 2000 ;Rousseau, 2002) en sus du rapport salarial, de la monnaie, des formes de la concurrence, du mode d'insertion internationale, et des formes économiques de l'État.…”
