  abstract = {{P}olitical ecology has undergone academic institutionalization in {E}nglish-speaking countries, unlike {F}rench {\'e}cologie politique, which grew out of a culture of critique and of partisan mobilization. {T}hese differences are coming sharply into focus today, as discussions between epistemic communities intensify. {T}his chapter examines the interplay of these geographical interventions and the trajectories of various political ecologies. {I}t argues that, while the very existence of a debate on the globalization of political ecologies is evidence of the obsolescence of these nationally centred intellectual traditions, the network-building processes currently under way are suffused with unjustifiable hierarchies and irrepressible diversity. {S}uch processes of globalization as experienced by the {F}rench {\'e}cologie politique are cluttered by three difficulties. {S}ome of the more vocal defenders of a {F}rench environmental "heritage" approach are keen to rehabilitate a pride in national ideas rather than to provide rigorous and in-depth investigations of environmental issues. {O}thers have become professional knowledge brokers, drawing on their ability to read and write {E}nglish, establish trans-linguistic networks, and integrate their international expertise into {F}rench academia. {O}thers are already busy internalizing the provincialization of {F}rench research. {I}n the face of these difficulties, political ecology and {\'e}cologie politique must each think about themselves in the same manner that they think about their subject matter: politically. {T}his involves accepting the need to engage with the question of globalization, but also taking into account the 'asperities' that constitute the world. {E}ntering such a world requires repositioning situatedness at the heart of the research process. {I}t also points to the importance of language, both as a political tool creating commonality and as an ecological tool conveying what is woven between humans and geographical environments. {W}ithout this combination of thinking, {F}rench {\'e}cologie politique (like other forms of political ecology) runs the risk of remaining shackled by divisions and hierarchies that it can neither apprehend nor control.},
