Historiar las transiciones: El valor de la teoría histórica para la investigación de las transiciones energéticas
Este artículo presenta cuatro perspectivas sobre la historia y la teoría del cambio social estructural de largo plazo. El estudio argumenta cómo estas perspectivas pueden adelantar el trabajo sobre transiciones, la historia ambiental, la historización del Antropoceno, la historia desde abajo y el tiempo plural. El propósito es promover un mayor compromiso con la reflexión histórica como una forma de conocimiento sobre las transiciones, a medida q…
Historicizing transitions: The value of historical theory to energy transition research
La Enojosa Cuestión de Emery”: The Emery Claim in Nicaragua and American Foreign Policy, C. 1880-1910
This article will argue that a seemingly trivial dispute between the Nicaraguan government and an American lumber company operating on Nicaragua's Mosquito Coast escalated to become a major source of tension between the U.S. State Department and Nicaragua, as well as a catalyst that drew U.S. banks into Nicaragua. Despite its significance, the convoluted story of this dispute has attracted little scholarly attention. The importance of the Emery c…
Merchants, Mining, and Concessions on Nicaragua's Mosquito Coast: Reassessing the American Presence, 1893-1912
This article reassesses the influence of American business on US foreign policy towards Nicaragua, 1893-1912. It describes three episodes that involved American interests in Nicaragua - the Reyes uprising of 1899, the Emery claim of 1903-1909, and the US & Nicaragua Mining Company claim of 1908-1912 - as evidence for a different interpretation of US policy, one which stresses how the influence and material interests of American 'men on the spot' …
Sociology and Environmental Impact Assessment
The paper indicates how a critical sociology could contribute to environmental impact assessment (EIA). It argues how sociologists must become involved in evaluating the EIA process itself. Topics examined include: how EIA excludes and frames social issues; why social science should precede natural science; the social construction of impact science; bias and the circulation of EIA consultants; and fairness when talking in public hearings. The aut…
Pulp mills, fish contamination, and fish eaters: A participatory workshop on the politics of expert knowledge
As more countries, industries, and international agencies respond to environmental concerns, their representatives look to nations like Canada for expertise in environmental assessment, policy, and standards, and for techniques to assist them in identifying and predicting the impacts of proposed projects on the biogeophysical environment and on human health and well-being. Often the expertise of environmental specialists and the environmental imp…

The Idea of Resistance: Dependency as Historical Process
This essay engages two issues: (1) the possibility of a theory of dependence that accounts for resistance and accords resistance by social agents causal significance in historical processes; and (2) the importance of culture in the resistance to social change offered by social actors. I understand dependent development as an historical process that subaltern classes resist and shape in their resisting. The practical consequence of resistance is t…
Conceptualizing Religion from Below. The Central American Experience
Malgré le fait que I'on s'accorde généralement d attribuer l'innovation religieuse aux classes sociales subalternes et que cette représentation des choses ne soit pas sans répercussions sur les mouvements sociaux et politiques, le cadre théorique et les pers pectives méthodologiques sur cette question n'en restent pas moins mal assurées et peu développées
Transformations in the Holy Religious Resistance and Hegemonic Struggles in the Nicaraguan Revolution
Theology, as an intellectual attempt of religious people to make sense of their chaotic times, is always politically partisan. From religious discourses oriented toward transcendent goals, social and political insights flow-injecting themselves into political struggles, legitimating some, delegitimating others, often lending the weight of sacred discourse to in the name of Christian nonpartisanship. In speaking of and politics in Latin America, h…
The gift of theory’: A critique of the histoire des mentalités
The histoire des mentalite's represents, for some historians, the new approach to illuminating the role of the common people in history. For some time the innovations of this approach in conceiving time, space, ritual and popular culture have enjoyed acceptance from those social historians keen to recover the everyday life of the lower orders through histories of the family, the mob, riots, women, sexuality and even death. Taking an interdiscipli…
