Globally Visible Environmental Protest: A Cross-national Analysis, 1970-2010
We examine the global rise of environmental protest events reported in major news outlets from 1970 to 2010, based on a new cross-national dataset. The paper addresses conventional arguments regarding resources and political opportunities, but focuses principally on the international dynamics that affect local protest and its visibility. World society theory as well as scholarship on transnational movements and advocacy networks suggests that int…
Neverending Wars: The International Community, Weak States, and the Perpetuation of Civil War
Since 1945, the average length of civil wars has increased three-fold. What can explain this startling fact? It can't be ethnic hatreds and injustices—these have been around for centuries. In Neverending Wars , Ann Hironaka points to the crucial role of the international community in propping up many new and weak states that resulted from the decolonization movement after World War II. These impoverished states are prone to conflicts and lack the…
Greening the Globe: World Society and Environmental Change
Recent decades have seen a rapid expansion of environmental activity in the world, including the signing of a growing number of environmental treaties and the formation of international organizations like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Greening the Globe employs world society theory (aka world polity theory or sociological institutionalism) to explore the origins and consequences of international efforts to address environmental…

When Things Fell Apart: State Failure in Late-Century Africa
Citizenship Beyond Borders: A Cross-National Study of Dual Citizenship
As global integration increases, the implications for state boundaries and citizens' identity grow more significant. Some scholars suggest that the recognition of dual citizenship reveals the extent to which cross-national immigration requires states to formally recognize a multiplicity of national identities through dual citizenship (Aleinikoff and Klusmeyer 2002;Castles and Davidson 2000;Falk 1994). We propose that scholars need to additionally…

The Globalization of Environmental Protection: The Case of Environmental Impact Assessment
Much of the literature on environmental protection focuses on domestic actors and domestic political activity. However, the degree to which environmental policies are influenced by international organizations and agendas is often overlooked. In the case of environmental policies in less developed countries, the role of the international system is particularly essential. Indeed, the international system is often the primary motivator of environmen…
Changing Meanings, Changing Institutions: An Institutional Analysis of Patent Legislation
Conceptions of patents have changed significantly over the past two centuries, reflecting broad changes in state structures and the international system. In the late eighteenth century, the creation of democratic states such as the United States and France encouraged the conceptualization of patents as an economic and political right belonging to an individual, rather than to a corporate body such as a guild. A second conception of patents arose …
Environmentalism as a Global Institution: Reply to Buttel
Les AA. s'efforcent de repondre aux critiques adressees par Frederick H. Buttel a l'encontre de leur article : «The Nation-State and the Natural Environment over the Twentieth Century» publie en fevrier 2000. Ils s'efforcent de montrer, contre l'opinion de Buttel, que l'ecologie est un phenomene global. L'ecosysteme est une entite globale, planetaire. Le processus de mondialisation tend a restructurer les Etats-nations et a institutionnaliser une…
The Nation-State and the Natural Environment over the Twentieth Century
National activities to protect the natural environment are on the rise. Conventional explanations of the phenomenon emphasize domestic processes, set in motion by environmental degradation and economic affluence. We propose instead a top-down causal imagery that hinges on a global redefinition of the "nation-state" to include environmental protection as a basic state responsibility. We test our view using event-history analyses of five indicators…

The Structuring of a World Environmental Regime, 1870–1990
In recent decades a great expansion has occurred in world environmental organization, both governmental and nongovernmental, along with an explosion of worldwide discourse and communication about environmental problems. All of this constitutes a world environmental regime. Using the term regime a little more broadly than usual, we define world environmental regime as a partially integrated collection of world-level organizations, understandings, …
