Reserves and trade jointly determine exposure to food supply shocks (2016, background): “Other studies hint at the emergence of patterns of ecological unequal exchange, whereby an unbalanced distribution and flow of resources and environmental impacts perpetuates conditions of uneven economic development around the world (e.g., Rice 2007, MartinezAlier 2014).”
Ecologically Unequal Exchange, World Polity, and Biodiversity Loss (2009, background): “This advantage facilitates disproportionate access of wealthy nations to natural resources and ecological sink capacities of poor nations (Hornborg, 2001; Jorgenson, 2006a; Rice, 2007).”
Global virtual water trade and the hydrological cycle: patterns, drivers, and socio-environmental impacts (2019, background): “…is in agreement with the theory of ‘ecological unequal exchange’, whereby core industrialized countries disproportionately use natural resources of less developed countries and force them to sustain negative environmental costs (e.g. Rice 2007, Moran et al 2013, 2015,Dorninger andHornborg 2015).”
Ecological Imperialism and the Global Metabolic Rift (2009, background): “…(Emmanuel, 1972), in order to demonstrate the disproportionate (and undercompensated) transfer of matter and energy from the periphery to the core, and the exploitation of environmental space within the periphery for intensive production and waste disposal (Frey, 1994; Hornborg, 2003; Rice, 2007).”
Zero-Sum World (2009, background): “The three concepts represent distinct and extremely influential fields of research lodged in separate academic faculties, yet each can simultaneously be used as a point of departure for extensive anthropological reflection on how mainstream thought is culturally constituted (e.g. Croll and Parkin, 1”
Ecologically Unequal Exchange and the Resource Consumption/Environmental Degradation Paradox (2009, background): “In a follow-up study, Jorgenson and Rice (2005) employ the same weighted index in a cross-sectional analysis of the per capita ecological footprints of less-developed countries (see also Rice, 2007b; Shandra et al., 2009).”
Ecologically Unequal Exchange, Ecological Debt, and Climate Justice (2009, background): “…exports are indeed shifting, trade relations remain extremely unbalanced and unfair because poorer nations export large quantities of under-priced products whose value does not include the environmental (and social) costs of their extraction, processing, or shipping (Jorgenson, 2009; Rice, 2007a).”
