Abstract

A recent debate emerged on the possibility of rendering nationalism compatible with addressing the climate crisis. E. H. Carr’s analysis of nationalism and global reform is relevant to this debate. Carr’s analysis highlights a negative relationship between nationalism and peace in the international order; a relationship that extends to, and is exacerbated by, climate change. This analysis is relevant to the contemporary debate on nationalism and climate change in three ways. First, it shows that competition over resources, border control and conflict are likely to increase in the climate age. Second, it explains the failure of UN-led attempts to address the climate crisis. Third, it problematises mid-way solutions to render nationalism compatible with addressing the climate crisis – whether these are realist, liberal institutionalist or green nationalist. Carr’s work however does not simply present a pessimistic outlook on the climate crisis; it also offers a positive lens to think of the crisis as an opportunity. Times of crisis to Carr are times of opportunity for humanity to re-define its sense of purpose. The emergence of issuespecific climate movements and sector-specific green projects is testimony to the presence of this opportunity today to move beyond nationalism, towards multi-scalar identity frameworks.
从二十年危机到气候危机:再看卡尔的民族主义与全球改革思想
最近出现了一场关于使民族主义与应对气候危机相容的可能性的辩论。e·h·卡尔对民族主义和全球改革的分析与这场辩论有关。卡尔的分析强调了国际秩序中民族主义与和平之间的负向关系;这种关系延伸到气候变化,并因气候变化而加剧。这一分析在三个方面与当代关于民族主义和气候变化的辩论有关。首先,它表明在气候时代,对资源、边境控制和冲突的竞争可能会增加。其次,它解释了联合国领导的解决气候危机的努力为何失败。第三,它提出了使民族主义与应对气候危机相容的中间解决方案——无论是现实主义、自由制度主义还是绿色民族主义。然而,卡尔的著作并不是简单地对气候危机持悲观态度;它还提供了一个将危机视为机遇的积极视角。对卡尔来说,危机时刻是人类重新定义目标感的机会。针对特定问题的气候运动和针对特定行业的绿色项目的出现,证明了今天有机会超越民族主义,走向多尺度身份框架。
