The treadmill of production and the environmental state

Interrogating the Treadmill of Production
This article is structured to answer a number of questions that have been raised over the years about the origin, structure, and application of the treadmill of production theory. The following questions are addressed: What was the theoretical structure of the treadmill of production? Why does the theory focus on production rather than consumption? Was the treadmill a dialectical or a linear change theory? How has the treadmill theory changed und…

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…

From Empty Nest to Crowded Nest
This paper concerns problems in the successful transition to adulthood for young people in middle-class American families. We call the most obvious symptom of this problem the returning young adult syndrome. We argue that this symptom points to broader questions of young adults' (YA) deviance from parental expectations of the YAs' autonomy, parental anomie, erratic performance by YAs in adult roles, and substantial intrafamilial conflict. We argu…

Redistributive Goals versus Distributive Politics
Contrary to conventional social problems models that depict environmental problems as arising from either 'sin' or 'error,' such problems are rooted in the modern treadmill of production.Following the classification of Theodore Lowi, recent environmental movement organizations appear to have emphasized a social redistributive rhetoric (sin), but have engaged in practices of distributive politics (error). As a result, even with the advent of the '…

Measuring Modernism
Among the many unresolved issues in the theoretical and empirical study of modernization is that of the unity of the modernizing process. This paper focuses on the coherence of the behavioral and attitudinal characteristics of individuals who have been exposed to modernizing influences such as urban residence and education. Six measures of modernism are used, and the analysis attempts to determine the overlap of each of these measures in the same…
Measuring Individual Modernity
A variety of scales of individual modernity have been developed to measure a universal set of attitudes and behaviors which presumably better fit men for life in modern society. The present study attempts to assess empirically the equivalence reliability and validity of four such scales constructed by Smith and Inkeles Kahl Schnaiberg and Armer. Data were collected from multiple-wave interviews of a sample of lower-to-middle class ethnically hete…

Obstacles to Environmental Research by Scientists and Technologists
A key element in the social movement for environmental protection has been the "impact analysis " role of scientists and technologists. Because of the structural positions of scientific and technological institutions relative to monopoly capital interests, serious constraints exist on exten-sions of these roles. For scientists, the constraints include: (1) the division of scientific labor and power; (2) the control of scientific "missions"; (3) t…

Rural-urban residence and modernism
Data from the Ankara Family Study, in which 1138 married women living in Ankara city and four selected villages in Ankara Province were interviewed in 1965–66, are used to study the impact of the amount and timing of urban residential experience on six dimensions of modernism in attitudes and behavior. Scores on the modernism indexes consistently are higher for the women with urban residential experience. The proportions of variance in the study …

Risk, uncertainty and family formation
Despite the assumptions of many demographers that the net returns from children for non-elite groups in underdeveloped areas are likely to be negative, high fertility persists in most of these societies. Both cultural and institutional explanations have been proposed to account for this. We attempt to provide some mediation between these competing models, by introducing the elements of risk and uncertainty as factors likely to induce poverty and …

The concept and measurement of child dependency
Two distinctions appear crucial in the study of human fertility: (1) aggregate versus individuallevel analysis; and (2) true explanations versus 'demographic explanations', using Stinchcombe's terminology. Social demographers analysing fertility have been accustomed to using fertility measurements derived from aggregative population analyses, and have largely terminated their analytic efforts at the level of a 'demographic explanation'.
