You could do something like this at the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley, where I am completing a very heterodox degree. My adviser, Richard Norgaard, calls himself an ecological economist, which means (among other things) that he integrates traditional political economy into a very pluralist critical framework.
You could probably do it in geography at Berkeley too, where some of the best political economists are (e.g., Michael Watts, who calls himself a political ecologist, which to my mind is another framework that integrates political economy with other cruicial perspectives).
And the real game theorists are available aplenty in either agricultural economics or the economics graduate department, if you've got the math skills (I flunked out of intro grad micro in the econ department, and I was once really good at math.)

I am compiling a list for someone not on the list and would appreciate receiving off-list either a pointer to or some recommendations for heterodox PhD programs in the USA that combine political economy, environmental studies, and perhaps some game theory (recognizing the ideological and methodological problems of trying to cross-list that interest). I've looked at the UMKC list and wonder if there's faculty in places like public policy, ag/resource econ or geography that don't have enough critical(sic) mass at their university in their econ departments, but perhaps have senior faculty housed in other departments that would support a graduate student application with a combination of those interests.
Thanks
