%X While political ecology has thrived, its coherence as a field of study and its central intellectual contributions remain the subject of sometimes contentious debate. One of the recurrent, and unresolved, questions has been ¡°Where is the ecology in political ecology?¡±. Indeed, controversy has emerged about whether, in fact, the field has become ¡°politics without ecology¡± (BASSETT; ZIMMERER, 2004, p. 103). This brief review examines this question and argues that, despite the claims of critics, there is a great deal of research in political ecology that engages biophysical ecology as a central concern.
