Sustainability communications via sponsorship
Sustainability communications have become a key issue for organisations. While most studies have focused on sustainability reporting and green advertising, other communication tools such as sponsorship are under‐researched. The present study addresses this void by exploring the potential and identifying key characteristics and challenges of sustainable sponsorships, theoretically conceptualised as a social contract between sponsorship contractors…
Capital Movements and Environmental Harms
The authors engage appropriate macrosociological theorization and employ quantitative comparative methods to assess the extent to which various forms of environmental degradation in less-developed countries are tied to inward foreign direct investment in the primary and secondary sectors. Analyzed outcomes include carbon dioxide emissions, industrial organic water pollution, and deforestation. Such forms of environmental harms are known to partia…
World Economy, World Society, and Environmental Harms in Less-Developed Countries
World economy and world society theories are engaged to assess the extent to which environmental harms in less-developed countries are tied to particular kinds of economic and social integration. Results of panel models indicate that world economy integration in the context of sector-level foreign investment contributes to a variety of environmental harms. With the exception of deforestation, world society integration in the mode of environmental…
The Vertical Flow of Primary Sector Exports and Deforestation in Less-Developed Countries
The theory of ecologically unequal exchange posits that through the vertical flow of exports from less-developed countries, the stratified world economy enables more-developed countries to externalize their environmental costs. It is further argued that this externalization of environmental costs increases forms of environmental degradation within the borders of less-developed countries. To evaluate key aspects of the theory, we test the hypothes…
Do environmental characteristics influence foreign direct investment growth? A cross-national study, 1990-2000
The author engages several theoretical traditions in both economics and sociology to examine the impacts of levels of environmental efficiency and environmental institutions on foreign investment location in less-developed countries. Results from static score design panel OLS models of 52 countries provide mixed results. Less-developed countries with higher levels of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product attract higher level…
Sectoral Foreign Investment and Nitrous Oxide Emissions
Studies of the anthropogenic contributors to greenhouse gas emissions have increased markedly in recent years. However, not all greenhouse gases have received their deserved attention. This study tests the theoretically derived assertion that foreign investment dependence increases the emissions of one such neglected greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide. Findings of the cross-national ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis of 44 countries show…
Ecologically Unequal Exchange and the Resource Consumption/Environmental Degradation Paradox
Ecologically unequal exchange theory posits that the vertical flow of exports is a structural mechanism allowing for more-developed countries to partially externalize their consumption-based environmental impacts to lesser-developed countries. It is argued that these structural relationships contribute to environmental degradation in the latter while directly suppressing resource consumption opportunities for domestic populations, often well belo…
Foreign Investment Dependence and the Environment
Sociologists have long debated the impacts of foreign investment for less developed countries. However, theorization fails to articulate the potential environmental consequences of foreign investment dependence. Here, an ecostructural theory of investment dependence is proposed and a derived hypothesis is tested. The hypothesis states that less developed countries dependent on foreign investment in manufacturing exhibit higher levels of per capit…
