Identifying counter-urbanisation using Facebook's user count data
Identifying the growing widespread phenomenon of counter-urbanisation, where people relocate from urban centres to rural areas, is essential for understanding the social and ecological consequences of the associated changes. However, its nuanced dynamics and complex characteristics pose challenges for quantitative analysis. Here, we used near real-time Facebook user count data for Belgium and Thailand, with missing data imputed, and applied the S…

Transformative social innovation and (dis)empowerment
This article responds to increasing public and academic discourses on social innovation, which often rest on the assumption that social innovation can drive societal change and empower actors to deal with societal challenges and a retreating welfare state. In order to scrutinise this assumption, this article proposes a set of concepts to study the dynamics of transformative social innovation and underlying processes of multi-actor (dis)empowermen…

Sustainability Science Partnerships in Concept and in Practice
This paper makes the case for advancing sustainability science partnerships (SSPs) both within universities and through innovative means of integrating universities with external public‐private and civil sectors. It links the basic principles of sustainable development with an emerging science of cooperative learning that connects researchers to a wide range of partners. SSPs are specifically designed to be transformational through becoming activ…

The GM Debate
This book tells the story of an unprecedented experiment in public participation: the government-sponsored debate on the possible commercialization of ‘GM’ crops in the UK. Giving a unique and systematic account of the debate process, this revealing volume sets it within its political and intellectual contexts, and examines the practical implications for future public engagement initiatives. The authors, an experienced team of researchers, produc…
On evaluating the GM Nation? Public debate about the commercialisation of transgenic crops in Britain
The public debate about GM crops that took place in Britain in 2002–03 was an unprecedented experiment for the UK in public engagement. The Government, which sponsored the exercise, made a pledge: to take into account lay perspectives, as well as the views of its expert advisers, when making a decision about the possible commercialisation of this controversial technology. As officially accredited but independent evaluators of the debate, we were …
The meta‐governance of risk and new technologies
The stylistic shift from government to governance in the regulation of risks associated with new technologies is often portrayed as an attempt to reach a deeper consensus over public controversies and to avoid future risk management failures. Stakeholder involvement in decision‐making through more inclusive and learning styles is seen as increasingly necessary in order to correct the steering deficit of the state, to rebuild trust in state instit…
Environmental science, sustainability and politics
Research evidence and pleas that humans are undermining their own survival on a robust and unforgiving planet seem to be falling on deaf ears. The drive for economic and military security remains more powerful than the evidence that both of these objectives are being undermined by environmental damage, social disruption, unjust treatment and forced migration. Yet the signs are growing that environmentally and socially sound futures may be vital p…
Designing Whole Landscapes
A whole-landscape approach is critical to ensuring conservation and enhancement of biodiversity in farmed landscapes. Although existing agri-environmental schemes are constrained by property boundaries and voluntary take up, the potential for adopting a whole-landscape approach to planned countryside management is currently favoured by a number of factors. These include economic uncertainty in some agricultural sectors; the introduction of a refo…

Cultural theory and risk
Cultural theory has evolved over the past 20 years to become an important framework for understanding how groups in society interpret danger and build trust or distrust in institutions creating and regulating risk. This paper examines the theoretical roots of cultural theory, traces its passage in the risk literature, and explores its value in current risk management issues. It concludes that cultural theory continues to be of value, but that its…
Interpretations of sustainable agriculture in the UK
With the advent of Agenda 21, the blueprint for the transition to sustainable development for every nation on the globe, the issue of what exactly is sustainable agriculture is now being addressed, certainly throughout Europe. The food chain as a whole is the ultimate framework for a scrutiny of sustainability. However, this review looks only at the changing policy setting for seeking to define and implement sustainable agricultural practice in t…
Integrating the environmental and economic consequences of converting to organic agriculture
Governing institutions for sustainable development
Despite the fact that the UK is prompt in discharging its documentary commitments with regard to Agenda 21, real signs of lasting commitment and progress, or their lack, can only be seen with regard to institutional change. There are institutional mechanisms and tools emerging in many policy areas. Those highlighted are: policy integration, performance indicators and monitoring mechanisms, and eco‐taxation. However, these represent only the begin…
Beyond the early stages of the sustainability transition
Sustainable development has been characterised in this series of essays to which this short piece is the conclusion, as an odyssey into desirable wealth creation, stewardship of ecosystems and people, community empowerment and revelation through visions sharing a common purpose. The key is to coordinate institutional innovation so that all these strategies can be built upon. To do this will require much more effective political leadership than is…
The political economy of sustainable development
This introductory essay sets out the research which produced the following collection of articles. The aim of the research was to develop further a theory of the institutional responsiveness triggered by the Agenda 21 exercise, by examining the extent to which sustainable development may be regarded as an energising force in its own right. The research concludes that this transition has to be assisted by a myriad of institutional changes that are…
