AbstractApproaching behaviour that produces environmental harm through the medium of criminal sanctions (largely involving monetary penalties) has been criticised consistently as failing to prevent environmental crimes and harms, and failing to concurrently reduce environmental re-offending. Furthermore, important state–corporate political and economic relationships exist that ensure the continuation of environmental degradation. We suggest that a way to overcome this is to re-work the current legal system to one grounded in Earth jurisprudence. Although we realise that state–corporate relationships would likely prevent the implementation of Earth jurisprudential principles, we argue such principles are essential to up-end the prioritisation of economic imperatives over ecological values within capitalist societies. To demonstrate the strength and utility of the Earth jurisprudential approach, we use the case of fracking for shale gas in the United Kingdom to examine how Earth jurisprudential principles could prevent environmental harm from occurring.

Invasive Control

The shale gas controversy in the UK has grown to enormous proportions. The government’s efforts to facilitate shale gas exploration have been matched by the surge of local and national opposition. People’s democratic concerns and the distrust of the industry rather than the physical impacts of fracking may be the main factors that motivate resistance. This, however, explains the symptoms rather than the causes of the controversy. The underlying social processes of the controversy are inherent in the emerging formations of the “corporate state”. Instead of transparency and engagement, regulatory oversight and technocratic thinking have brought about invasive control and disempowerment. The corporate state thrives within such controversies because they create conditions for the reassertion of corporatizing mechanisms, reducing the democratic potentials of society and the state.
