Two additions well worth looking at:

Alan Carter's "A Radical Green Political Theory" [some assert Carter
is to Anarchism what G.A. Cohen is to Marxism]

http://spot.colorado.edu/~cartera/carter.html

Graham Purchase' "Anarchism and Ecology" 

I'm definitely not a fan of a priori arguments in political-social
theory, but I do think it's seriously possible, though extremely
unlikely, to have governance without Government and law without a
State. Given the current and past history of States and the varieties
of Capital-State dynamics, anti-authoritarianism has a bright and
enduring future; as Graeber and many others have noted with total
seriousness, we cannot bring forth the freedoms we desire through
authoritarian means............
