Marxist Commodity Fetishization Encoded In Illusory Environmental Policy

Exacerbating the Global North-South Divide

Abstract

The realm of environmental policy is riddled with issues with regards to method of approach and execution. This contemporary form of environmental policy is demystified through the utilization of a Marxist framework. In particular, the concept of commodity fetishism can be used to illustrate the manner in which modern environmental policy fetters the Global South to the economic survival of the Global North.
