"In the face of the climate crisis, more and more attention has been paid to the adaptation strategy and resource management of water resources, but the construction of large-scale water infrastructure has also caused many controversies. This study will point out the controversy over Kinmen’s transboundary water diversion and the importance of understanding the dilemma of water resources governance in border islands from the perspective of border governance. By reviewing the formation, predicament and transformation of Kinmen’s water supply network since the military administration period in the 1950s, this paper divides Kinmen’s water supply network into two periods: “reservoir construction” from 1950s to 1990s and “pipeline politics” from 2000 onwards. The former is that the state has led the construction of water conservancy facilities for the sake of border governance, while the latter is that water resources governance has loosened the state’s dominance in border governance. This article will point out that although the transboundary water diversion project started by the Kinmen County government after 2000 was a policy driven by geopolitical changes, the borders did not disappear. On the contrary, borders are ubiquitous in the daily practice of water resources governance constructed by the local government to monitor water quality. The real border practice is not an administrative border under a national agreement, but a heterogeneous network of tiny physical facilities such as numbers, checkpoints, and cisterns, and its political effect is no less than that of dams and canals. and other large water infrastructures."

"Tulisan ini membahas ketimpangan multispesies yang terjadi pada tiga lanskap antroposen di Kampung Laut, Kabupaten Cilacap, Jawa Tengah. Sejak perubahannya dari perairan menjadi daratan sedimentasi, ekosistem alam Kampung Laut menghadirkan lanskap mangrove, sawah sedimentasi, dan kebun Nusakambangan. Lanskap-lanskap itu menawarkan daya tarik bagi petani untuk bercocoktanam maupun pelaku industri untuk berinvestasi. Namun, ini berpotensi menjadi magnet ketimpangan sosial-ekologis antarpetani maupun antarspesies non-manusia. Pendekatan antroposen tambal sulam (patchy anthropocene) menawarkan analisis terhadap struktur yang tersemat pada lanskap antroposen dengan fokus pada ketimpangan sosial yang nampak pada aktivitas manusianya. Berbeda dari studi kepingan antroposen yang pernah ada, tulisan ini mengeksplorasi struktur yang tersemat di antara lanskap-lanskap antroposen yang menimbulkan ketimpangan multispesies. Tulisan ini mengumpulkan data melalui teknik pengamatan terlibat, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi visual. Tulisan ini berargumentasi bahwa akumulasi kekerabatan dan mode kapital lingkungan pada pengelolaan lanskap-lanskap antroposen menghasilkan ketimpangan yang multispesies. Kekerabatan dan kapitalisasi spesies adalah struktur lanskap utama yang memberikan akses berupa modal sosial-ekonomi kepada petani tertentu sekaligus memungkinkannya mengontrol petani lainnya, sementara akses itu juga dikontrol oleh konstruksi global tentang krisis iklim. Rezim karbon menempatkan mangrove sebagai lanskap sekaligus spesies non-manusia yang mendominasi mode produksi sekaligus memicu ketimpangan multispesies terhadap lanskap sawah sedimentasi dan kebun Nusakambangan yang berlangsung secara tumpang tindih dalam proses antroposen di Kampung Laut.

This paper discusses the multispecies inequality that occur in three anthropocene landscapes in Kampung Laut, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. Since its transformation from water to sedimentation land, Kampung Laut's natural ecosystems have featured mangrove landscapes, sedimentation rice fields, and Nusakambangan gardens. These landscapes offer an attraction for farmers to cultivate and industry players to invest. However, this has the potential to become a magnet for social-ecological inequality between farmers and non-human species. The patchy Anthropocene approach offers an analysis of the structures embedded in anthropocene landscapes with a focus on the social inequalities evident in human activities. Unlike previous patchy anthropocene studies, this paper explores the embedded structures among anthropocene landscapes which results in multispecies inequalities. It collects data through the techniques of participant observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation. This paper argues that the accumulation of kinship and environmental capital modes in the management of anthropocene landscapes results in multispecies inequality. Kinship and species capitalization are the landscape structures that provide access to socio-economic capital to certain farmers while allowing them to control others, while that access is also controlled by global constructions of the climate crisis. The carbon regime positions mangroves as both a landscape and a non-human species that dominates modes of production and triggers multispecies inequalities in the overlaying landscapes of sedimented rice fields and Nusakambangan gardens in the anthropocene of Kampung Laut."

"Capitalism's addiction to fossil fuels is heating our planet at a pace and scale never before experienced. Extreme weather patterns, rising sea levels and accelerating feedback loops are a commonplace feature of our lives. The number of environmental refugees is increasing and several island states and low-lying countries are becoming vulnerable. Corporate-induced climate change has set us on an ecocidal path of species extinction. Governments and their international platforms such as the Paris Climate Agreement deliver too little, too late. Most states, including South Africa, continue on their carbon-intensive energy paths, with devastating results. Political leaders across the world are failing to provide systemic solutions to the climate crisis. This is the context in which we must ask ourselves: how can people and class agency change this destructive course of history? Volume three in the Democratic Marxism series, The Climate Crisis investigates eco-socialist alternatives that are emerging. It presents the thinking of leading climate justice activists, campaigners and social movements advancing systemic alternatives and developing bottom-up, just transitions to sustain life. Through a combination of theoretical and empirical work, the authors collectively examine the challenges and opportunities inherent in the current moment. This volume builds on the class-struggle focus of Volume 2 by placing ecological issues at the centre of democratic Marxism. Most importantly, it explores ways to renew historical socialism with democratic, eco-socialist alternatives to meet current challenges in South Africa and the world."
