Educational and Cultural Exchanges to Restore America's Image
A new public diplomacy strategy to enhance the U.S. reputation will require a thorough understanding of the role of cultural and educational exchanges, or what is commonly called citizen diplomacy, and the many ways it can be more effectively leveraged
The treadmill of production and the environmental state
Complexity, Generality, and Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) offers researchers the opportunity to combine the intensiveness of case-oriented research strategies and the extensiveness of variable-oriented approaches in a single framework. QCA is specifically designed for a moderate number of cases, too few for variable-oriented research designs and too many for in-depth, case-oriented analysis. To illustrate QCA's applicability to moderate-sized data sets, we analyze …
Sustaining Ecotourism
We draw on field research from Costa Rica and New Zealand to examine the potential for sustaining ecotourism projects over time. We find that successful ecotourism projects exist in a paradoxical or dialectical system with internal dynamics that tend to speed up the rate of tourism production. This poses a number of ecological, economic, and social problems. In general, the problems are known to local communities and public officials. The challen…

Sustainable Economic Development in Rural America
While globalization threatens many of the historical drivers of rural American economies, it also opens up new opportunities for economic development. In particular, globalization increases the ability of rural communities to establish sustainable forms of economic development. "Sustainable development" refers to practices that simultaneously create economic vitality, environmental stewardship, and social equity. Rural communities have increasing…

The University and the Hamlets
To what extent can a university be a resource in the revitalization of a low-income community? This article explores an effort by Colgate University to enhance economic development in two low-income hamlets in Central New York through community visioning programs. Community visioning is a process that helps communities identify indigenous assets and use them to develop action plans for community development. The author argues that Colgate has bee…
The environmental justice debate
Environmental justice has become a major focus of research within the environmental social sciences. Early studies mostly examined the unequal distribution of natural resource hazards in an advanced capitalist political‐economy. More recent studies have quantitatively gauged the relationship between sociodemographic factors and exposure to toxic chemical pollution. In this article, I use presentations at the recent meetings of the American Sociol…
Local Environmental Struggles
In recent years, environmentalism in the US has increasingly emerged at the community level, focusing on local ecological problems. Correspondingly, the American environmental movement has exhorted its supporters to 'think globally' but 'act locally'. The authors examine this modern environmental mantra by analysing the opportunities and constraints on local environmental action posed by economic and political structures at all levels. The diffic…

Distinguishing among green businesses
Environmental social scientists have yet to deal with the growing phenomenon of green businesses. In particular, we need to have some response to the notion that green businesses are significant enough to require a shift in public policy support for enhancing their proliferation. We cannot do this, however, unless we have a better sense of what constitutes a “green business. “ I argue that one way to do this is by dimensionalizing green businesse…

Local Organizing for Environmental Conflict
Grassroots groups continue to compose a large part of the environmental movement in the United States. In this article, I examine 41 attempts by grassroots groups to work with the Sierra Club to participate in local environmental conflicts. I argue that the difference between those groups who participated in a local conflict and those groups who were unable to participate in a conflict can be explained by the ability of a group to mobilize resour…

Public Participation in Environmental Regulatory Conflicts
Based on two years of qualitative field work, this paper examines public participation in environmental regulatory disputes. Drawing on political economy critiques of environmentalism, we argue that regulation is both a political arena and a legal process that is about responsivity, competition, and bargaining. A combination of case study and Boolean algebra techniques are used to refine and apply the conceptualization. Five primary factors are i…
