The Political Ecology Society (PESO) has as its object the promotion of interdisciplinary scientific investigation of the political and economic principles controlling the relations of human beings to one another and to the environment. As part of its efforts to meet these goals, PESO supports the publication of the Journal of Political Ecology, a peer reviewed electronic journal that publishes articles and reviews in English, French, and Spanish. As well as the PESO Annual Meeting, the society organizes sessions at professional meetings, and sponsors an electronic public forum on its Internet site. PESO's Public Forum is a clearing house for information and news focusing on interactions between political economy and ecology around the world which provides a platform for open discussions on trends and topics of controversy, and serves as a vehicle for news, annotated bibliographies, requests for research proposals, employment opportunities, and other items germane to political ecology. The Political Ecology Society (PESO) also awards "The Robert McC. Netting Prize of $500 for the best article published in the Journal of Political Ecology."
