This material is supplemented by interviews with ecosocialists and climate activists undertaken as a participant observer in a number of climate movement-related protest events, including at the 2015 Paris Climate Summit. Utilising a modified neo-Gramscian perspective that builds on the work of Robert Cox and incorporates the global political economy as a category within the Earth’s biosphere, the dissertation provides a critical ecological political economy account of the shift from the Holocene to the Anthropocene in the context of post-war, US-led ‘neoliberal globalisation.’ Building on extensive literature reviews in a range of different discipline areas including the ecosocialist literature, the dissertation also draws on new primary data in the form of online audio-visual recordings of ecosocialist and scientific meetings and conferences and debates between ecosocialists published on websites. This dissertation examines the role that ecosocialists are playing within the broader climate movement. The failure of governments acting alone and through international institutions to effectively address the climate crisis has led to the growth of a distinct climate movement within civil society whose broad aim is to bring about the changes required to mitigate anthropogenic global warming. The world confronts an interlinked ecological, economic, social, and political crisis crystallised in the issue of climate change.
