“…4 Indeed, with the United Nations admonishing that 'no credible pathway to 1.5 C' is currently in place (United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 2022), catastrophic extreme weather events are already becoming commonplace as we barrel towards the climatic point of no return. Yet, as critics have painstakingly argued, capitalism stands as the most intractable obstacle in the way of the changes that could avert climatic and ecological devastation (Camfield, 2022;Williams, 2010).…”

The era since the Great Recession of 2008/9 has witnessed the rise and increased sway of numerous authoritarian-right movements, regimes and leaders across the globe. Such political developments remain inadequately understood; yet several commonplaces have emerged. First, a tendency to eschew critical enquiry of the range of forces on the radical right, in favour of collapsing such political developments into generalisations such as ‘populism’. Second, such over-generalisations have commonly elided analysis of neofascist forces, strategies and processes. Third, despite some engagement with ‘economic’ factors, examination of these political developments has largely eschewed the underlying organic crisis of neoliberal capital accumulation. This article critiques such commonplaces. The first section problematises the category of ‘populism’ as largely inadequate in understanding the complexity of forces and dynamics on the radical right. The subsequent section argues that an emergent or immanent neofascism exists within such political developments, outlining eight theses on the spectre of neofascism and the conditions that underpin the rise of elements of fascistic politics. The final section concludes with key aspects for an antifascism, arguing that opposing neofascism entails the transcendence of neoliberal capitalism itself. And a meaningful alternative to neoliberal state and capital requires us to look again to socialism.

“…Whereas James O'Connor (1998) and Chris Williams (2010) simply attributed ecological destruction to the problem of commercialization in capitalism, Paul Burkett (2009; and Kohei Saito (2017) argued that an ecology-friendly idea was originally an integral part of Marxism. Burkett emphasized that ecological practice has already been discussed under the materialistic basis of Marxism and that Marx's genuine contribution was his proposal of socialism as an alternative to ecologically destructive capitalism.…”

Development of Peace Studies and the Asian Context

This introductory article illustrates the development of peace studies and then reviews the Asian context in it. Peace studies has developed through three approaches-statecentered, human-centered, and structure-critical-the origins of which can be traced back to Kantian federalism and republicanism, Tolstoy's criticism of institutionalized violence, and Marx's critique of capitalism, respectively. In the post-Cold War era, the theories of security community, human security, and ecosocialism have developed separately. At the same time, the three approaches have competed and merged with one another in the face of increasingly complex global problems, resulting in the birth of "responsibility to protect" (R2P) and differing but simultaneous responses to climate change. Both ASEAN as a multifaceted community and development-based human security characterize the Asian context.
