Routledge Handbook of Climate Change and Society
Environmental factors can influence migration in complex and often nonlinear ways. The strength and direction of the relationship is shaped by economic, sociopolitical, environmental, and demographic conditions which moderate the extent to which households are exposed and vulnerable to climate impacts and their aspirations and capabilities. Importantly, not everyone affected by climatic stress is forced or decides to migrate, and many remain immo…
Will Democracy Survive Climate Change
In this essay, we explore the relationship between democracy and climate change. Using environmental sociology and related fields as a theoretical lens, we explore two possible and contrasting scenarios of the climate crisis's sociopolitical impact. The first scenario presents that democracy is not well‐equipped to deal with climate change. The increasing pervasiveness and intensity of climate change challenges our democratic system, ultimately l…

Karl Polanyi's environmental sociology
Drawing upon The Great Transformation (1944), we outline Karl Polanyi's environmental sociology by providing a primer for emerging and other scholars with little exposure to this major work. While best known for his critique of laissez-faire/liberal economics, particularly reflecting upon the works of the Austrian School of Economics, we believe his unique and broad insights give particular grounding to environmental sociology itself. In addition…

Climate Change Mitigation and the Collective Action Problem
Global climate change has become the collective action problem of our era. With the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) 2015 COP 21 Meetings in Paris as the context, the author draws upon critical mass theory ( CMT ) (Oliver and Marwell 1988; Oliver, Marwell, and Teixeria 1985) in an attempt to yield greater understanding of the international community's ability to achieve climate stability as a global public good. Us…
Where Rivers Meet the Sea
Perceptions of climate change worldwide
We begin this review with a brief overview of the first published comparative national studies on public attitudes and climate change. We continue by exploring key findings from more recent surveys from three major studies conducted in late 2009. These results are organized into two major sections—the first in reviewing established ground or questions commonly asked of the general public regarding climate change. These questions include willingne…
Environmental Concerns, Values and Meanings in the Beijing and Detroit Metropolitan Areas
Given increasing evidence from international surveys that concern for the environment appears to be a worldwide phenomenon, the authors of this article were interested in conducting an in-depth analysis of environmental concerns, values and behavior in the Beijing and Detroit metropolitan areas. Because of the attention that has been given to the influences of dominant social values and neighborhood environmental context on environmental attitude…

Ostriches and Change
Climate change poses the most significant challenge facing the world today and should be more than sufficient to mobilize the world and its many communities to respond meaningfully and quickly. However, response must be made to conditions not yet fully realized, presenting the challenge of preparing instead of simply reacting. It is likely that only after global societies are restructured by human altered natural processes will we see the rise of…
Public Support for Both the Environment and an Anti-Environmental President
The authors explore the apparent anomaly of strong public support for the environment and popular public support for a president with a poor environmental rating by groups such as the League of Conservation Voters. In attempting to understand why there have not been public outcries against George W. Bush s anti-environmental policies like those that occurred during the Reagan presidency, the authors present three possible explanations: a lag time…
Comparative public opinion and knowledge on global climatic change and the Kyoto Protocol
Using a variety of public opinion polls over a number of years and from a number of countries this paper revisits the questions of crossnational public concern for global warming first examined over a decade ago. Although the scientific community today speaks out on global climatic change in essentially a unified voice concerning its anthropogenic causes and potential devastating impacts at the global level, it remains the case that many citizens…

Reinventing a Square Wheel
This article presents a critical review of recent writings that argue that people-oriented approaches to conservation have largely failed to achieve their main goal--the protection of biological diversity. Based on an analysis of this problem, authors of these works conclude that biodiversity conservation initiatives should place renewed emphasis on authoritarian protection of national parks and other protected areas to safeguard critically threa…

Population--Environment Dynamics
Population-Environment Dynamics
In October 1990 the University of Michigan hosted an International Symposium on Population-Environment Dynamics to bring together recognized leaders in this area. The meetings...focused on identifying the underlying theoretical issues and developing a research agenda for the field. Experts from the University other research and teaching institutions and a number of government agencies throughout the world participated in these discussions. The pa…

Protected areas, resident peoples, and sustainable conservation
Bridging the gap
This article attempts to build a bridge between the study of international organizations and the sociology of organizations. Comparisons between functionalism in the two fields are found to be especially important in understanding different treatments of international organizations. We suggest that a number of concepts from the sociology of organizations can be effectively used to illuminate issues in international organizations. We focus on orga…
