Toward a middle‐range theory of environmental morality
Nearly three decades ago, Gramling and Freudenburg (1996) urged that greater attention be given to middle‐range efforts in environmental sociology. In this article, I will argue that since Gramling and Freudenburg offered their advice, there has been a critical mass of work in environmental sociology undertaken from the perspective of middle‐range theory, but this has been undervalued in our never‐ending odyssey in search for grand theory. To ill…

Ozone Hole
Ozone hole is one of the most striking and influential metaphors in contemporary environmental discourse. Not an actual “hole” as such, it refers to a progressive, seasonal thinning of ozone concentrations in the lower stratosphere provoked by a buildup of chlorine‐based compounds emitted by refrigerators, air conditioners, and aerosol spray cans. This results in the destruction of ozone molecules that protect us from ultraviolet radiation from t…

Toward a Sociology of Oceans
Despite covering around 70 percent of the earth's surface, the ocean has long been ignored by sociology or treated as merely an extension of land-based systems. Increasingly, however, oceans are assuming a higher profile, emerging both as a new resource frontier, a medium for geopolitical rivalry and conflict, and a unique and threatened ecological hot spot. In this article, I propose a new sociological specialty area, the "sociology of oceans" t…

Fantasy City
Fantasy city refers to an urban form located at the intersection of leisure, consumption, tourism, and real estate development. It is characteristically scripted, hard‐branded, active day and night, modular, solipsistic, and postmodern. Fantasy cities satisfy a preference by middle‐class consumers for sanitized environments of “riskless risk.” In recent years, the fantasy city model has faltered in North America and Europe because of too much com…
Environmental Sociology
The third edition of John Hannigan’s classic undergraduate text has been fully updated and revised to highlight contemporary trends and controversies within global environmental sociology. Environmental Sociology offers a distinctive, balanced treatment of environmental issues, reconciling Hannigan’s much-cited model of the social construction of environmental problems and controversies with an environmental justice perspective that stresses ineq…
Analyser les villes et le changement dans une ère de mondialisation
Dans cet article, j'identifie et je mets en contraste deux approches théoriques et politiques opposées de la ville contemporaine du changement urbain. La première approche, soit unmodèleéconomique de la prospérité, privilégie la productivité économique et la compétitivité, l'urbanité cosmopolite, la consommation culturelle, la gouvernance en partenariat public-privé, ainsi que la créativité et l'innovation comme des moteurs de croissance. En reva…
Harvey J. Graff, The Dallas Myth
Fantasy City
“Fantasy City” refers to a new urban form located at the intersection of leisure, consumption, tourism, and real estate development. In Fantasy City: Pleasure and Profit in the Postmodern Metropolis (1998), Canadian sociologist John Hannigan points to six defining features: fantasy cities are characteristically themo‐centric (scripted), aggressively branded, active day and night, modular (mixing a standard array of retail and entertainment compon…
Casino Cities
The recent upsurge in licensed, themed gambling emporiums in Macao, South Africa, and Britain signals the emergence of the casino city as a global model of urban development and consumer culture. Casino cities thrive at the intersection of three complementary commercial spheres: the luxury goods and services industry, the corporate gaming (gambling) sector, and the international tourist trade. Critics have expressed concern that the casino city i…
Environmental Sociology
This new edition of John Hannigan's well-known and respected text has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent conceptual and empirical advances in environmental sociology. The book offers a distinctive and even-handed treatment of environmental issues and debates, integrating European theoretical contributions such as risk society and ecological modernization with North American empirical insights and findings. Key updates include: an extended …

Culture, Globalization, and Social Cohesion
To conceptualize the interrelationship among culture, social cohesion, and globalization, this paper uses Urry's three "social topographies" of space: region, network, and fluids. Fluids describe the de-territorialized movement of people, information, objects, money, and images across regions in an undirected and non-linear fashion. They are characteristically emergent, hybridized, urban, and cosmopolitan. Drawing upon Appadurai's five dimensions…

Social Movement Theory and the Sociology of Religion
Despite a similar genesis in the classic nineteenth century theories of social change, scholarly analyses of religious and social movements have frequently addressed different problems and formulated separate paradigms. This divergence is discussed with reference to historical, ideological, and conceptual factors. Current religions and social movements, it is proposed, increasingly have much in common both structurally and ideologically. Three pr…

Alain Touraine, Manuel Castells and Social Movement Theory
The "action theory" of Alain Touraine and Manuel Castells' theory of urban movements together constitute a social movement paradigm which differs significantly from both the traditional collective behavior explanation and the newer resource mobilization model. In this paper, the Touraine-Castells perspective is contrasted to the existing approaches with reiation to social movement causes, characteristics, and outcomes. It is argued that the work …

The Newspaper Ombudsman and Consumer Complaints
This paper reports the results of a survey of 282 clients of Sound Off, a Canadian newspaper ombudsman. The data suggest that the newspaper ombudsman works best as a communication "facilitator" but is less effective as a dispute "mediator." Furthermore, this service was found to be of least benefit to the socially advantaged who appear to use it to pursue more difficult problems. Nevertheless, 73 percent of the respondents indicated that they wou…

Legitimacy and Public Organizations
The Armalite and the Ballot Box
For revolutionary movements, the twin tasks of external legitimation and grass roots mobilization often conflict with the maintenance of an exclusive organization with tight discipline, restricted membership, and doctrinal purity. With its “armalite-ballot box” strategy, the contemporary Provisional Irish Republican Army is attempting to circumvent these conflicts and reconcile political action with the armed struggle for national liberation. In …

The Soviet-Iranian Gas Agreements
The overthrow of the Shah in 1979 brought to a close a period in Soviet-Iranian relations which had seen the rapid development of economic ties between the two countries. These had added an important economic dimension to the Soviet Union's historic, strategic interest in the large, Middle Eastern country located on its southern flank. At the core of the bilateral economic relationship, nurtured over the previous decade and a half, were two long-…
Unfriendly Skies
Using Stern's “network process” approach to interorganizational relations, the decline of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) from cartel to trade association is analyzed. IATA's loss of power and the erosion of stability in the international civil aviation network are traced to the emergence of a strong “proactive” regulatory style within the U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board, to increased competition for domain in the area of price se…
