The impact of scientific controversies on standards and methodologies in the voluntary blue carbon market
With the proliferation of scientific studies on blue carbon in recent years, numerous controversies have emerged in the academic literature. Simultaneously, the voluntary carbon market has expanded significantly, initially at the terrestrial level and, over the past decade, also in the marine realm. While some studies have the emergence of a specialized literature on the blue carbon market, none have examined the connections and relationships bet…
Market Studies: Mapping, Theorizing and Impacting Market Action
Market studies is a newly emerging field dedicated to understanding the origins, core concepts, theories and methods currently being used and developed to examine markets in the making. Providing a unique overview that introduces, positions and develops this highly fertile area of research, Market Studies is the first book to consolidate its themes, tools and methods in a single, comprehensive volume. Topics covered include: market organization a…
Three institutional pathways to envision the future of the IPCC
Understanding why degrowth is absent from mitigation scenarios: Modelling choices and practices in the IAM community
The range of climate change mitigation scenarios in the IPCC reports frames the futures and policies that we deem possible. In the mitigation pathways produced by Integrated Assessment Models (IAM), economic growth is sustained throughout the century, as we show by surveying the GDP trajectories considered in the IPCC AR5 scenario database and in the more recent IAM literature. We unpack the reasons for IAM’s commitment to GDP growth, and seek to…
The good economy’: A conceptual and empirical move for investigating how economies and versions of the good are entangled
Across Europe and the OECD, the bioeconomy is promoted as that which will succeed the carbon economy: an economy based in ‘the bio’ that will be innovative, sustainable, responsible and environmentally friendly. Yet how to critically approach an economy justified not only by its accumulative potentials but also its ability to do and be good? This paper suggests the concept of ‘the good economy’ as an analytical tool for investigating how economic…
A history of the 1.5°C target
The 1.5°C target is now widely considered as the maximum acceptable limit for global warming. However, it is at once recent and, as it appears increasingly unreachable, already almost obsolete. Adopted as an aspirational target in the Paris Agreement in 2015, the 1.5°C objective originated with a political impetus within UNFCCC negotiations. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) endorsed this policy‐driven target when it produced t…
From The Limits to Growth to Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways: Technological Change in Global Computer Models (1972–2007)
From the World2 and World3 models to contemporary Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that model carbon neutral emission pathways, global computer models have served as virtual laboratories for addressing economic, environmental and technological concerns together. Representing technological change has been a controversial element of global modelling efforts because, to a great extent, it sets the parameters on conceivable futures. To retrace thi…
Writing good economics: How texts ‘on the move’ perform the lab and discipline of experimental economics
How is objectivity accomplished in laboratory economic experiments? To address this question, this paper focuses on a modest and mundane thing: the written instructions that guide experimental subjects in the lab. In a material-semiotic perspective, these instructions can be understood as text-devices. We follow text-devices 'on the move' from their very writing, through the lab, the review process and out into the journal article. To do so, we a…
Experiments in co-modification: A Relational Take on the Becoming of Commodities and the Making of Market Value
Social studies of science have for many years analyzed and demonstrated the key role of experiments to science and the making of facts. But what is the role of experiments in market work? And what, if anything, can we learn from them about markets and commodities? It is perhaps tempting to say that we can learn very little. This paper investigates a series of market research experiments investigating consumers' valuations of farmed fish, and thes…
Turning Sunlit Rooftops and Windy Sites into Energy Assets
International audience
Organising Policy-Relevant Knowledge for Climate Action
Greenhouse gas emission scenarios are key in analyses of human interference with the climate system. They are mainly produced by one category of computer models: Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). We analyse how IAM research organised into a community around the production of socio-economic scenarios during the preparation of the IPCC AR5 (2005-2014). We seek to describe the co-emergence of a research community, its instruments, and its domain …

Agencing Feed-in Tariffs in the European Union
Mutualising sunshine: Economic and territorial entanglements in a local photovoltaic project
Focusing on a successful local photovoltaic project in France, this paper retraces the emergence and constitution of a territorial capacity to take part in the development of renewable energy as driven by a private actor (an agricultural cooperative) that relied on the combination of policy support, of a tradition of mutualisation, and of its territorial implantation. A relational perspective on innovation and entrepreneurship is adopted to descr…

Carbon Democracy: Political Power in the Age of Oil (Timothy Mitchell, 2011)
Carbon Democracy is an inquiry into the relations between fossil fuels and political power. Timothy Mitchell analyses energy systems as political machineries that need to be considered in histories of democracy. To do so, he follows the connections and conversion that were engineered to extract, produce and distribute coal and oil, drawing together materialities, politics, and ideas
Managing political market agencements: Solar photovoltaic policy in France
The development of renewable energy is one manifestation of current transformations in the organisation of European energy production and markets. To illuminate the changes triggered by renewable energy policy, the evolution of solar photovoltaic policy in France is analysed with a focus on its central instrument, feed-in tariffs (FITs). FITs for photovoltaics raised difficulties in many countries, but their effects were particularly dramatic in …
Le tarif d’achat photovoltaïque comme outil d’innovation territoriale: L’exemple des Fermes de Figeac
Entre 2008 et 2012, la coopérative des Fermes de Figeac a installé un parc photovoltaïque mutualisé dispersé sur une centaine de toitures. Ce projet visait à capter l’opportunité des tarifs d’achat lorsqu’ils étaient à leur plus haut niveau, mais également à la mutualiser et à la territorialiser. Pour analyser la constitution d’une capacité entrepreneuriale et financière adaptée au tarif, mais capable de le transformer, cet article se penche sur …

Le rôle des cadres normatifs et des organisations internationales: Une conversation avec Jean-François Durieux (HCR) et Philippe Boncour (OIM)
Le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés (HCR) et l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM) sont en première ligne pour porter secours et assistance aux personnes déplacées par des catastrophes naturelles. Comment ces opérations trouvent-elles leur place dans le mandat de ces organisations ? Quels sont leurs rôles respectifs dans la gestion des crises et les instruments à leur disposition ? Jean-François Durieux est …
