  • Modelling degrowth policies with system dynamics: Towards policy coherence

    Open AccessKarel Zwetsloot, David Collste et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2026

    We simulate degrowth policy interactions in a high-income country. • Degrowth policies can reduce environmental pressures and advance social equity. • Isolated policies create trade-offs; coherent policy packages can resolve them. • Producing less while redistributing more improves social-ecological outcomes. • Short-term fiscal feasibility contrasts with long-term public debt challenges

  • What role for deliberative minipublics in sustainability transformations? An emerging topic for sustainability science

    Open AccessTim M Daw, West et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2026References: 35

    Democracies struggle to translate sustainability science, and public concern into sufficiently transformative actions. Ongoing polarization, politicization and disinformation extenuate this challenge. Some scholars suggest that deliberative democratic innovations can help to bridge science, public understanding and will formation, and policy implementation in the face of vested interests. In light of these challenges, we introduce deliberative mi…

  • Radical incrementalism: Hydropolitics and environmental discourses in Laos

    Open AccessNiak Sian Koh, Grace Y Wong et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Politics2025References: 34

    The Nam Theun 2 dam is an influential case of applying safeguards to mitigate social and environmental impacts from hydropower, being used as a model for large dams globally. However, these safeguards have produced mixed results. We examine the role of safeguards in hydropower, and how stakeholders have discussed its use. Based on a literature review and stakeholder interviews, we conduct a discourse analysis of narratives used to frame hydropowe…

  • The Emergence and Effects of Sponsors for Women Leaders

    Open AccessStefan Gröschl, Patricia Gabaldón et al.ARTICLEGender Work and Organization2024References: 5

    Sponsoring activities are crucial for women leaders' career advancement. We explore who the sponsors of women are, the nature of their sponsoring activities, and how these activities have influenced women careers' advancement. Based on semi‐structured interviews with women leaders in France and Spain, we show the importance of combined assistive and appreciative support in sponsoring activities by superiors and by informal networks inside and out…

  • Folding organizational paradoxes: Narrative practices for legitimation amid competing stakeholder demands

    Open AccessGreg Molecke, Thomas Hahn et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2024Cited by: 1References: 62

    In paradoxical situations, organizational actors face various demands that are contradictory and interdependent at the same time. While the current literature focuses on how organizational actors respond to these paradoxical demands, it does so in a depersonalized manner with little attention to the stakeholders behind these demands. Therefore, it fails to explain how organizational actors legitimize their responses to paradox to those stakeholde…

    Open AccessMichael Nylan, Thomas HahnARTICLEHualin International Journal of…2022

    This study on Mount Kuaiji, just southeast of Shaoxing in Zhejiang province, consists of two parts: Part I, with its focus on the Qin and two Han dynasties and particularly Kuaiji's 'forgotten century' (roughly 50-150), excavates the literary traditions ascribed to this center of southern learning, while demonstrating the site's importance in southern communications and in local industries.Its aim is to complicate the usual story of center and pe…

  • Mind the Compliance Gap: How Insights from International Human Rights Mechanisms Can Help to Implement the Convention on Biological Diversity

    Open AccessNiak Sian Koh, Claudia Ituarte-Lima et al.ARTICLETransnational Environmental Law2022Cited by: 1References: 33

    Humanity is at a crossroads in addressing biodiversity loss. Several assessments have reported on the weak compliance with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets by the parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). To address this lack of compliance, the challenges in implementing and enforcing CBD obligations must be understood. Key implementation challenges of the CBD are identified through a content analysis of policy documents, multi-stake…

  • A Paradox Perspective on Corporate Sustainability: Descriptive, Instrumental, and Normative Aspects

    Open AccessThomas Hahn, Tobias Hahn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business Ethics2018

    The last decade has witnessed the emergence of a paradox perspective on corporate sustainability. By explicitly acknowledging tensions between different desirable, yet interdependent and conflicting sustainability objectives, a paradox perspective enables decision makers to achieve competing sustainability objectives simultaneously and creates leeway for superior business contributions to sustainable development. In stark contrast to the business…

  • Landscape heterogeneity correlates with recreational values: A case study from Swedish agricultural landscapes and implications for policy

    Thomas Hahn, Thomas P Hahn et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2018Cited by: 4References: 45

    Agri-environmental schemes are often targeted at heterogenic landscapes to support several ecosystem services besides food production. The question is whether heterogenic landscapes also support recreation values. Previous studies suggest this but statistical analysis of the relation between heterogeneity and recreation is lacking. To assess this, we used a quantitative Landscape Heterogeneity Index (LHI), developed for biodiversity conservation.…

  • Toward Cognitive Plurality on Corporate Sustainability in Organizations: The Role of Organizational Factors

    Open AccessThomas Hahn, Tobias Hahn et al.ARTICLEOrganization & Environment2015

    Running a company workshop on research collaborations between academia and private firms on corporate sustainability with sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) managers from around 20 European stock-quotes companies a couple of years ago yielded some most interesting insights. In the closing panel discussion, the participants were invited to share their experiences with cases where—in contrast to the business case idea—environm…

  • Cognitive Frames in Corporate Sustainability: Managerial Sensemaking with Paradoxical and Business Case Frames

    Thomas Hahn, Tobias Hahn et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Review2014

    Corporate sustainability confronts managers with tensions between complex economic, environmental, and social issues. Drawing on the literature on managerial cognition, corporate sustainability, and strategic paradoxes, we develop a cognitive framing perspective on corporate sustainability. We propose two cognitive frames—a business case frame and a paradoxical frame—and explore how differences between them in cognitive content and structure infl…

  • Private Environmental Governance Through Cross-Sector Partnerships: Tensions Between Competition and Effectiveness

    Open AccessThomas Hahn, Tobias Hahn et al.ARTICLEOrganization & Environment2014

    We analyze the suitability of cross-sector partnerships as an effective mechanism for private environmental governance. By focusing on the interaction between firms within cross-sector partnerships, we analyze how competition between firms affects partnership effectiveness. Marrying insights from the private governance literature with institutional theory and the resource-based view, we identify under which conditions firm-level competition for l…

    Open AccessMarine Elbakidze, Thomas Hahn et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2013Cited by: 3References: 23

    The Biosphere Reserve (BR) concept aims at encouraging sustainable development (SD) towards sustainability on the ground by promoting three core functions: conservation, development, and logistic support. Sweden and Ukraine exemplify the diverse governance contexts that BRs need to cope with. We assessed how the BR concept and its core functions are captured in national legislations. The results show that the core functions are in different ways …

  • Staat und Kirche im deutschen Naturrecht: Das natürliche Kirchenrecht des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts (ca. 1680 bis ca. 1850)

    Thomas HahnBOOKStaat und Kirche im deutschen…2012

    Unsere Vorstellungen vom Verhältnis von Staat und Kirche werden entscheidend von der Rechtsphilosophie des 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhunderts bestimmt. Das epocheprägende säkulare Naturrecht widmete sich staatskirchenrechtlichen Fragen im Teilgebiet des »natürlichen Kirchenrechts«. Dessen Anhänger leiteten aus übergeordneten Vernunftgründen Regeln ab, die - im Gegensatz zu den besonderen Rechtsordnungen einzelner Kirchen - für alle Religionen Gültig…

  • Self-Organized Governance Networks for Ecosystem Management: Who Is Accountable

    Open AccessThomas Hahn, Thomas P HahnARTICLEConservation Ecology2011Cited by: 7

    Governance networks play an increasingly important role in ecosystem management. The collaboration within these governance networks can be formalized or informal, top-down or bottom-up, and designed or self-organized. Informal self-organized governance networks may increase legitimacy if a variety of stakeholders are involved, but at the same time, accountability becomes blurred when decisions are taken. Basically, democratic accountability refer…

  • Trade‐offs in corporate sustainability: You can't have your cake and eat it

    Open AccessThomas Hahn, Tobias Hahn et al.ARTICLEBusiness Strategy and the…2010

    The mainstream of the literature on corporate sustainability follows the win–win paradigm, according to which economic, environmental and social sustainability aspects can be achieved simultaneously; indeed, corporate sustainability has often been defined by the intersection of these three areas. However, given the multi‐faceted and complex nature of sustainable development, we argue that trade‐offs and conflicts in corporate sustainability are t…
