Abstract

Some scientists propose that the Earth has entered the Anthropocene—a new geological age in which human activities have become the driving force behind global environmental changes. Several disciplines outside the natural sciences have engaged with debates surrounding the Anthropocene, including International Relations (IR), in order to theorise their relevance in this new age. To pluralise this burgeoning research area and contribute to the updating of the IR discipline’s engagement with the Anthropocene discourse, this study seeks to locate and highlight the Anthropocene themes and narratives related to the Asia-Pacific region. A systematic review of the literature reveals knowledge gaps in the IR discipline’s engagement with the Asia Pacific as a unique region in the Anthropocene, encouraging a more robust analysis of regional or multi-level anthropogenic contributions, closer investigation of differentiated experiences of vulnerability, and further articulation of contextualised yet globally significant solutions to environmental threats. The mainstream scholarship needs to engage with the Asia-Pacific experience(s) in the Anthropocene considering the region’s vulnerability to the challenges of the Anthropocene and, at the same time, responsibility for increased anthropogenic factors.

关于人类世的主流国际关系学术研究中的亚太地区在哪里?

摘要

一些科学家提出地球已经进入人类世——一个新的地质时代,人类活动已成为全球环境变化的驱动力。自然科学以外的几个学科都参与了围绕人类世的辩论,包括国际关系 (IR),以便将它们在这个新时代的相关性理论化。为了使这个新兴的研究领域多元化,并有助于更新 IR 学科与人类世话语的互动,本研究旨在定位和突出与亚太地区相关的人类世主题和叙事。对文献的系统回顾揭示了 IR 学科与作为人类世独特地区的亚太地区的接触方面的知识差距,鼓励对区域或多层次的人为贡献进行更强有力的分析,对脆弱性的不同经历进行更深入的调查,并进一步阐明针对环境威胁的情境化但具有全球意义的解决方案。考虑到该地区对人类世挑战的脆弱性,同时考虑到对增加的人为因素的责任,主流学术需要参与人类世的亚太经验。
