With the development of society, the chemical industry is expanding, and the hazy weather everywhere is becoming increasingly frequent, already affecting people’s lives and causing them to pay more attention to environmental issues. Therefore, this paper highlights the role of women in environmental protection by studying the coordination of environmental protection and female discrimination based on the concept of affirmative action. Through this study and a survey, we found that China has not yet realized that women’s participation in environmental protection plays a key role in improving the quality of our environment and the development of ecological civilization. However, we should clearly understand that environmental issues are not only personal, they are related to the survival and development of a country, and as a member of that country, both women and men should have the right and obligation to protect the environment. Therefore, this article discusses the concept and meaning of affirmative action and gender discrimination in the context of research on these concepts, discussing the problems and phenomena that women encounter in environmental protection. These include the system of women’s environmental protection, gender issues for women in society, and the unequal treatment from the Government based on some studies. Through the study and analysis of the system of women’s environmental protection, the role and position of women in this regard is summarized. Finally, it is suggested that, for the construction and development of ecological civilization in China, it is necessary to fully integrate ecological civilization into all aspects of society and pay attention to environmental protection issues. Therefore, we should pay attention to the role of women in environmental protection, provide corresponding policies, and actively encourage women to partake in environmental protection in order to build an environmentally friendly and resource-saving society together.

“…Doing so reveals the extent to which neoliberal environmental governance depends on the distribution of entitlements and benefits, particularly in rural areas that have valuable natural resources but whose populations are marginalized (Greenleaf, 2021). This distribution has created a new kind of politics as state officials seek to generate popular consent for market‐oriented policies and citizens advance claims based on their relationships to local ecologies threatened by expanding industries (Mendoza et al., 2021).…”

“…Because these new neoliberal arrangements are disruptive, however, state officials face a challenge in legitimizing them to rural people—to say nothing of enforcing them. In this context, the distribution of new entitlements and benefits underwrites efforts to change the rules of resource access (Mendoza et al., 2021).…”

“…Critiquing Harvey's (2005) interpretation of neoliberalism as a class project, Ferguson (2010, pp. 170–71) notes, “The policies of neoliberal states have often diverged from neoliberal doctrine for … reasons which have less to do with straightforward power grabs by the rich than with the contingencies of democratic politics.” Pointing to recent South African experiments with basic income grants, he observes that these programs, which provide cash so that poor people can participate in markets and therefore act as “proper neoliberal subjects” (p. 177), also help secure popular consent for new policies and politicians (Mendoza et al., 2021).…”

Fishers who don't fish

In 2018, an unprecedented red tide prompted Chile's Ministry of Health to close fisheries throughout the country's southern Aysén Region. The disaster heightened the precarity of “paper fishers,” or those who seldom fish but deftly navigate Chile's neoliberal fisheries management system. Amid the crisis, these fishers performed valuable distributive labor. They connected benefits from transferable fishing quotas to community‐based networks, persuaded officials to recognize additional claimants, and redistributed cash in their communities. This enabled fishers to access public funds when fishing was impossible and strengthened community solidarity in the face of precarity. Yet it also required that claims for financial compensation be legible to state officials, and it prevented political actions that would have disrupted the state‐backed aquaculture industry, despite the latter's contribution to the red tide. Thus, neoliberal distributive programs that depend on the commodification of nature simultaneously benefit rural communities in crisis and facilitate the displacement of beneficiaries.

“…5 The thinned forests, visible from town, have stood as the enduring signature of Templario rule (despite beginning under the Familia). Since 2018, a green social enterprise-with ties to the pine chemical industry-has sought to reforest the Ucareo Valley to generate marketable resin (Mendoza, Greenleaf, and Thomas 2021).…”

This article analyzes narco-power as a mode of political rule. Based on research in the Mexican state of Michoacán, this study focuses on rural villagers' experiences of political rule by three criminal organizations: the Zetas, Familia Michoacana, and Caballeros Templarios. The article argues that narco-power is understood as a tyrannical political force exercised over everyday life that involves extortion, limited governance, and armed social control. Drawing on Aristotle's theorization of tyranny, this study develops the concept of austere domination as a contribution to the comparative study of the tyrannies of narco-power. [organized crime, narco-power, tyranny, political rule, Mexico] R e s u m e n Este artículo analiza el narcopoder como un modo de dominio político. Derivado de una investigación en el estado mexicano de Michoacán, este estudio se centra en las experiencias de un pueblo rural del dominio político de tres organizaciones criminales: Los Zetas, La Familia Michoacana y Los Caballeros Templarios. El artículo afirma que el narcopoder se entiende como una fuerza política tiránica ejercida sobre la vida cotidiana que involucra extorsión, gobernanza limitada y control social armado. Utilizando la teoría de tiranía elaborada por Aristóteles, este estudio desarrolla el concepto de la dominación austera para contribuir al estudio comparativo de las tiranías del narcopoder.
