Climate targets as more than rhetoric: Accounting for Norway's Zero Growth Objective
Climate-related targets for cities abound, but it is unclear how important they are in driving actual transformations. Scholars have often taken a skeptical view of official climate discourses, including their ambitious targets, and instead turned their attention to experimentation, innovation and civic action - colloquially termed 'real action.' In this article we try on the opposite view. Contributing to 'speculative political ecology', we argu…
Climate Risks of the Transition to a Renewable Energy Society: The Need for Extending the Research Agenda
To reach the 1.5°–2° goal of the Paris Agreement, the speed of transition to a renewable energy society must increase significantly. Applying Perrow’s theory of societal risk, we argue that switching from a fossil-based energy system to a future 100% renewable energy system may increase climate risks. Reviewing policy and research literature, and interviewing key energy policy actors in Norway, we find that there is limited knowledge on this topi…
Populism, Instability, and Rupture in Sustainability Transformations
The recent surge in populist politics in Europe and North America has challenged many of the policies aimed at advancing sustainable shifts. In this article we argue that this surge necessitates a rethinking of transition and transformation. The mainstream perspective on transitions understands it largely as the proliferation and upscaling of innovative technologies and policy frameworks. We recast sustainability transitions and transformations a…
Transformative social science? Modes of engagement in climate and energy solutions
Understanding indigenous strategic pragmatism: Métis engagement with extractive industry developments in the Canadian North
Managing resource abundance and wealth: The Norwegian experience
This book aims to introduce readers to the challenges that petroleum-producing countries face, and what they can do to protect themselves from the most adverse consequences. The lessons on offer are derived from two very different sources: the broader—if still underdeveloped—social science literature that examines the ‘paradox of plenty’ and the ‘resource curse’ in its disparate forms; and the experience of a country that has successfully managed…
Oil booms and business busts: Why resource wealth hurts entrepreneurs in the developing world
Despite the vast riches that oil can bring to a nation, many oil-producing countries struggle with economic volatility and are unable to promote diversification, a phenomenon often referred to as a ‘resource curse’. In Oil booms and business busts, Nimah Mazaheri investigates this conjuncture by looking at how oil and mineral wealth shapes government policies towards the business environment, and how these policies affect small and medium-sized e…
Governance transformed into Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): New governance innovations in the Canadian oil sands
In the contested space of energy production in Canada, tension and a series of disputes over land and rights have arisen between the state, industry and local Aboriginal communities. Canadian governments have long exploited the bountiful natural resources of the land, while at the same time attempting to reconcile a difficult relationship with its Aboriginal communities. This case study reveals how the government has yielded responsibility to ind…
Carbonscapes and beyond: Conceptualizing the instability of oil landscapes
Geographers tend to see energy systems as intricately interwoven with society and relatively resistant to change. We argue that there is a danger of exaggerating the permanence and stability of the energy–society relationship. Therefore we propose a framework that is more open to instability and transformation. Using assemblage theory, we frame the social and material landscapes of oil – carbonscapes – as having emergent capacities for change bui…
