ABSTRACT

This study critically reconstitutes the evolution process of the world￾ecology analysis of Jason W. Moore in two phases. In the first phase of the early 2000s, the world-ecology analysis was born by an intellectual interaction between ecological Marxist theories and the world-systems analysis. In the second phase since the mid-2010s, the analysis has grown up as a distinct perspective, frame, method, and conversation. Reflexively criticizing the earlier theoretical resources through the second phase, Capitalism in the Web of Life has attracted wide attention, and subsequently involved in a series of controversies. It is not yet clear how this perspective further evolves. However, it seems certain that it is possible to construct a broader table for a meaningful conversation not only for a radical critique of the current ecological crisis of capitalism but also for delineating a possible future of capitalism in the web of life on a planetary scale.
