Geographies of Risk, the Regulatory State, and the Ethic of Care

Abstract: We examine the role of the regulatory state in the inequitable distribution of social advantages and disadvantages. To illustrate this, we examine the spatial distribution of exposures to air toxics from noxious land uses (commonly referred to as the environmental justice problem) and inquire into the nature of state action that would allow such inequity. Findings from our inquiry lead us to focus more closely on the administrative functions of the state, especially its role as a regulatory body. A case study … Show more

“…The outcome demonstrates that peripheral local governments would benefit disproportionately from new structural protection measures. Such a governmental activity would protect householders who are often socially excluded and have a lack of opportunity to protect themselves (Jacobs 1961;Sen 2010;Lejano and Funderburg 2016). However, if the Austrian government would choose option a (number of exposed buildings) or b (sum of the exposed building values) of the Rawlsian approach, the results provide a different picture.…”

“…Proponents of cap-and-trade, often from schools of business and economics, too easily dismiss these concerns by assuring that carbon markets can be designed to monitor disequities, without showing how in fact this is to be done without dismantling the market mechanism. Most fundamentally, the argument against commodification (a word which tends not to be used by the above scholars) is best understood in relational terms -i.e., industries and their activities invariably have a (negative or positive) relationship with the surrounding community, and one cannot treat these or their products as alienable from their context (Lejano and Funderburg, 2016). Decisions cannot be made as if these communities had no interest or voice in the matter.…”

“…Milligan and Wiles (, p. 737) emphasise the “reciprocal dependence in which both recipients and providers are involved in the coproduction of care.” In the agricultural context, humans and plants (and ultimately livestock, soil biota, pollinators, fungi) comprise the web of multidirectional flows and connections of mutual nourishment held together with care and/or the implications of its lack. A feminist theory of care “troubles the autonomy of the individual” (Olson, ) to foreground empathy “arising from face‐to‐face encounters in particular situations” (Lejano & Funderburg, , p. 1098). On‐farm seed selection necessitates this relational, contextual attentiveness beyond the human realm.…”
