Inclusive approaches to urban climate adaptation planning and implementation in the Global South
As cities increasingly engage in climate adaptation planning, many are seeking to promote public participation and facilitate the engagement of different civil society actors. Still, the variations that exist among participatory approaches and the merits and tradeoffs associated with each are not well understood. This article examines the experiences of Quito (Ecuador) and Surat (India) to assess how civil society actors contribute to adaptation …

Urban Climate Adaptation in the Global South
Cities throughout the world face the challenge of preparing for climate change impacts. Since urban climate adaptation is an emerging policy domain, however, few institutions exist to guide cities among the first to take action. Drawing on institutional theory and case study research, this article examines the initiation and development of adaptation planning in two cities in the global south: Durban and Quito. The cases suggest that action in na…
Environmental Inequalities Beyond Borders
Case studies demonstrate the spatial disconnect between global consumption and production and its effects on local environmental quality and human rights. Multinational corporations often exploit natural resources or locate factories in poor countries far from the demand for the products and profits that result. Developed countries also routinely dump hazardous materials and produce greenhouse gas emissions that have a disproportionate impact on …

Political Economy of the Environment
Sociological theories about the political economy of the environment have appeared in two waves. The first wave has a productivist orientation, showing how the normal workings of industrial production damage the environment. It includes impact theories (IPAT and STIRPAT), the treadmill of production, growth machine theories, and resource extraction/ecologically unequal exchange theories. A second wave of theories focuses on environmental destruct…
NGO capacity and environmental governance in Central and Eastern Europe
Environmental mobilisation and organisations in post-socialist Europe and the former Soviet Union
How have environmental movements and organisations evolved in the two decades since the end of state socialism? Focusing upon how the impact of external forces, the core debates concern how changing political opportunities and access to resources as a consequence of European Union accession have impacted on environmental NGOs, as well as the effects more generally of contentious transnational assistance and tutelage offered to local activist netw…
Cross-movement activism
Environmental NGOs often create new campaigns or extend their ongoing activities from the principal issue arena in which they work to other substantive domains. Although this is a common practice, scholars have not assessed how NGOs position their work within different arenas or whether these activities represent an extension of or deviation from an organisation's mission and values. To understand the nature of cross-movement activism, the global…
Compact, Diffuse, or Would-be Discipline
Some scholars maintain that academic planning has strayed from its technical and professional roots by becoming more aligned with the social sciences. Others suggest that the discipline has failed to develop a cogent identity. The authors evaluate these assertions by studying articles published in the Journal of the American Planning Association between 1963 and 2002. The authors' analysis confirms that academic planning has become more scientifi…
By the Masses or for the Masses? The Transformation of Voluntary Action in the Czech Union for Nature Protection
After the fall of state-socialism, efforts were made to build democracy by creating civil society organizations (CSOs) and forming independent nonprofit sectors across Central and Eastern Europe. However, most of these efforts ignored the mass organizations, state-sponsored interest groups, and quasi-independent associations in existence for many years. To understand how the transition affected existing associations and the forms of volunteerism …
Greener and cleaner? The signaling accuracy of U.S. voluntary environmental programs
Scholarship on Social Movement Organziations
This essay examines research on social movement organizations (SMOs) within each of the three major schools of social movement theory: resource mobilization, political process, and cultural-cognitive approaches. We map the general terrain of these perspectives and demonstrate how they have established enduring and emerging trends in SMO scholarship. By briefly revisiting some of the central findings and theoretical arguments of SMO research, we p…
Enlarging EU Environments
states is an enormous step in the historic process of European economic, political and cultural integration. It was, quite literally, unimaginable 15 years ago. The notion of expanding the EU to include Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries followed the collapse of the communist systems in the region in 1989. Many justifications for EU enlargement have been offered, but it is clear that advocates of the idea viewed CEE membership in the EU…
Assessing Conventional Wisdom
Central and East European (CEE) states are implementing sweeping environmental policy reforms as they gain EU membership. This concluding chapter draws attention to key arguments in the volume and elaborates on four key themes that enrich conventional notions about Europeanisation and challenge prevailing views about the impacts that CEE states are having on environmental quality in an enlarged EU: the importance of capacity limitations and effor…
Stakeholder Involvement in the Design of U.S. Voluntary Environmental Programs
Voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) promise to provide firms and facilities additional flexibility in managing their environmental affairs while increasing internal efficiencies and improving their public image. Although stakeholder input is thought to improve program development, little is known about the extent that stakeholders are involved in the VEP design process. Based on a survey of 61 program managers, this research distinguishes bet…
Local Action in a Transitional State
Objective After the fall of the communist regime, the Czech government placed an emphasis on economic growth and development. Although research has been conducted on national‐level change and civil society reactions to new institutions and initiatives, little is known about the transition process at the local level and the ways community sentiments and actions varied in response to development policies. This study examines responses to proposed d…
Resources, opportunities and local environmental action in the democratic transition and early consolidation periods in the Czech Republic
This research examines factors shaping the responses of Czech communities to proposed landfills, incinerators, highways and protected area development between 1992 and 1996. Structured interviews conducted with the mayors of 237 communities revealed that: incinerator and highway proposals were related to individual interactions with officials; increased political opportunities also were associated with individual interactions with elected officia…
Leveraging Local Action
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have become influential actors in policy and political decision-making. Using a case study of the formation of the White Carpathian Euroregion, this article examines how the actions of local and regional NGOs change in response to shifting political opportunities and how these groups can influence domestic policy and relations between states. The results suggest that NGOs work to advance their agendas by rely…
Selecting Repertoires of Action in Environmental Movement Organizations
Environmental movement organizations (EMOs) that have similar goals frequently rely on different tactics and strategies to advance their agendas. This article uses an interpretive perspective to examine the factors influencing EMO selection of a repertoire of action. Building on concepts from organization and social movement theories, and relying on interview and archival data from Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace, this study suggests that exp…
International Triggering Events, Transnational Networks, And The Development of Czech And Polish Environmental Movements
This study shows how international, intergovernmental, and transnational factors influence social movement formation and evolution by examining the Czech and Polish environmental movements between 1970 and 2000. The analysis maps the ways in which these factors create conditions for movement development and demonstrates how their influence varies, depending on regime stability and type. Movement actions are more predictable in stable regimes beca…
Voluntary associations, professional organisations and the environmental movement in the United States
This research examines the relationship between voluntary and professional environmental organisations in the United States. A content analysis of newspaper abstracts for a 15 year period suggests that the unconventional actions of voluntary groups precede similar types of activities of professional organisations by one or more years. Although their actions are interrelated, voluntary groups often identify and respond to emerging issues while pro…
Common property, collective interests, and community opposition to locally unwanted land uses
Investigations of “not in my backyard”; or NIMBY behavior often focus on the importance of the facility and the role that individual interests, such as property and health concerns, play in fostering opposition from local residents. These studies have not considered the role that common property resources and collective interests play when resistance to unwanted land uses arises. This investigation analyzes events surrounding the siting of a lime…
