  • Speaking Across Silences

    Open Access•Steffen Böhm, Premilla D’cruz et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Business Ethics•2026

    This curated essay collection examines the structural and material intersections between business, violence, and ethical responsibility. Bringing together diverse perspectives, the essays collated here challenge the tendency within business ethics to treat violence as external to economic activity or as a purely political phenomenon. Instead, the contributions reveal how firms, markets, and organizational practices are deeply entangled in systems…

  • The violence of Net-Zero

    Open Access•Pilar Acosta, Steffen Böhm et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2026

    This Speaking Out essay critically interrogates the hegemony of net-zero as the dominant framework guiding climate and environmental governance. We argue that net-zero is not a neutral technical climate mitigation target but a world-making practice that restructures ecological relations through calculative, managerial, and market logics. Drawing on political ontology and pluriversal thinking, we conceptualise net-zero as enacting interconnected f…

  • Facing the facts of the Gaza genocide

    Open Access•Nidhi Srinivas, Devi Vijay et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2025

    As a collective, Organization has a strong commitment to exposing and challenging domination and oppression, to amplifying scholarly activism, and to standing in solidarity with the oppressed, the dispossessed, and the Indigenous peoples of the world. Therefore, we cannot remain silent observers of the genocide in Gaza, of the oppression of the Palestinian people, and of the political, academic and organizational systems that are complicit in it.…

  • How a social practice approach could improve government-supported decarbonisation initiatives for small and medium-sized enterprises

    Open Access•Anthony J Maher, F Boyd et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2025•Referências: 6

    The ongoing scramble to reach net-zero has prompted many nations globally to implement targeted support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to decarbonise and enable participation in the just climate transition. Using social practice theory and Maréchal and Holzemer's ‘grips’ framework as conceptual lenses, we consider the role and efficacy of policy interventions in driving the SME net-zero transition. This study examines the available…

  • Towards sustainable school food

    Open Access•Fatma Sabet, Steffen Böhm•ARTICLE•British Educational Research…•2025•Referências: 35

    This study addresses the complex challenges of childhood obesity, food poverty and environmental degradation by developing a planetary health framework for school food in education. Drawing on Dewey's experiential learning philosophy, it adopts an integrative approach where school meals and food education converge. Rooted in the planetary health model, the research explores the interdependence of human and environmental health within the context …

  • Contested adaptation futures

    Open Access•Christoffer Söderlund Kanarp, Steffen Böhm et al.•ARTICLE•Sustainability Science•2025•Citada por: 4•Referências: 19

    Despite increasing recognition of climate risks, there is a lack of adequate adaptation responses, which we argue is partly due to how governance actors imagine the future. In this article, we contend that ‘imaginaries’—collective visions of desirable futures—shape governance regimes and their approaches to climate adaptation. This framework allows us to explore the various goals and political dynamics integral to climate adaptation governance, r…

  • Internal Colonialism as Socio‐Ecological Fix

    Open Access•Lauren Crabb, Celal Cahit Ağar et al.•ARTICLE•Antipode•2024•Citada por: 1•Referências: 72

    We study the emergence of New Clark City, Philippines, which is part of the country's development programme “Build‐Build‐Build”. Triangulating data from field observations, interviews, and documents, we analyse the social, economic, and ecological consequences of this “city of the future”. The city enables capital to be fixed into space, which (i) creates new accumulation opportunities for investors, (ii) lubricates capital circulation, shortenin…

  • Working through (mis)recognition

    Open Access•Matias Sanfuentes, Francisco Valenzuela et al.•ARTICLE•Human Relations•2024•Citada por: 8•Referências: 78

    Most workers around the world are part of the precariat, characterized by non-permanent, informal, short-term, low-pay, low-skill, and insecure jobs. While there have been many socio-economic critiques of the negative impacts of precarity on workers, the literature has increasingly asked how precarious workers actually live their lives and how their subjectivities are produced on a daily basis. We contribute to this literature by providing a psyc…

  • Conservation, peasants and class

    Rocío Hiraldo, Steffen Böhm•ARTICLE•Review of African Political Economy•2023•Referências: 20

    Environmental conservation has become a key climate mitigation strategy in the last two decades. Through the multiplication of ‘conservation’ projects, Africa is one of the main centres of this kind of intervention. While scholars have shown conservation to be a vehicle for the advancement of capitalist interests, scarce attention has been paid to agrarian labour and class dynamics in the African countryside sustaining this development. Drawing o…

  • Climate Activism

    Open Access•Annika Skoglund, Steffen Böhm•BOOK•Climate Activism•2022

    What is activism? The answer is, typically, that it is a form of opposition, often expressed on the streets. Skoglund and Böhm argue differently. They identify forms of 'insider activism' within corporations, state agencies and villages, showing how people seek to transform society by working within the system, rather than outright opposing it. Using extensive empirical data, Skoglund and Böhm analyze the transformation of climate activism in a r…

  • Ethics at the Centre of Global and Local Challenges

  • The Political Ontology of Corporate Social Responsibility

    Open Access•Maria Ehrnström‐fuente, Steffen Böhm•ARTICLE•Journal of Business Ethics•2022•Citada por: 18•Referências: 22

    This article examines corporate social responsibility (CSR) through the lens of political ontology. We contend that CSR is not only a discursive mean of legitimization but an inherently ontological practice through which particular worlds become real. CSR enables the politics of place-making, connecting humans and nonhumans in specific territorial configurations in accordance with corporate needs and interests. We discuss three CSR mechanisms of …

  • For more pluralistic critiques of colonialism

    Open Access•Jacobo Ramirez, Steffen Böhm•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2021•Citada por: 2•Referências: 15

    In accordance with critical reflective thinking on colonialisation, we respond to Dunlap’s critical remarks on our article by deconstructing some of the themes presented in the debate on internal colonialism in the context of large-scale wind energy developments in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico. We return to a historical conceptualisation of internal colonialism as it pertains to a continuation of colonial-like dynamics – oppression, repress…

  • Transactional colonialism in wind energy investments

    Open Access•Jacobo Ramirez, Steffen Böhm•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2021•Citada por: 15•Referências: 18

    Energy production is a source of disputes across the world. Governments and firms argue that investing in wind energy contributes to the sustainable development of energy systems. However, wind farms perpetuate ongoing injustices and instigate new injustices. Vulnerable groups such as excluded and marginalised indigenous people can trace the injustices in low-carbon investments to a historical continuity of oppression and repression by internal a…

    Climate change negotiations have failed the world. Despite more than thirty years of high-level, global talks on climate change, we are still seeing carbon emissions rise dramatically. This edited volume, comprising leading and emerging scholars and climate activists from around the world, takes a critical look at what has gone wrong and what is to be done to create more decisive action. Composed of twenty-eight essays-a combination of new and re…

  • Critical, Engaged and Change-oriented Scholarship in Environmental Communication. Six Methodological Dilemmas to Think With

    Open Access•Sofie Joosse, Stina Powell et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Communication•2020

    While calls for critical, engaged and change-oriented scholarship in environmental communication (EC) abound, few articles discuss what this may practically entail. With this article, we aim to contribute to a discussion in EC about the methodological implications of such scholarship. Based on our combined experience in EC research and drawing from a variety of academic fields, we describe six methodological dilemmas that we encounter in our rese…

  • Fruits of our labour

    Open Access•Steffen Böhm, Marja Spierenburg et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2020

    This is the first special issue of any organisation studies journal on food labour. Why is this a big deal? In this Introduction, we argue that the field should pay much more attention to the agri-food system and the work that goes into producing, distributing and consuming foodstuff. Food is such an all-important, basic ingredient to human existence, incorporating a vast web of organisational processes that are constantly changing, being contest…

    In the past decade the 'circular economy' (CE) has established itself as an influential model for economic development, with the Chinese central and regional governments The ambition of the model is to create 'circular' material flows that break with the current 'linear' economic rationale of take, make and dispose, creating business value for its participants Inspired, among other influences, by the cradle-to-cradle design methodology This ambit…

  • Ecospirituality and sustainability transitions

    ‘Sustainability transitions’ has emerged as one of the most important and influential literatures on understanding the pathways towards a more sustainable future. Yet, most approaches in this literature privilege technological and regime-wide innovations, while people’s agencies, grassroots innovations, and social factors more generally are often underrepresented. This article focuses on the role of ecospirituality as worldview, aiming to underst…

  • Towards a pluralist labor geography

    Open Access•Celal Cahit Ağar, Steffen Böhm•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2018•Citada por: 4•Referências: 27

    This paper explores the interplay between capital, socio-spatial structure and grassroots agency in the context of the recent trajectories of labor geography. Based on field research conducted in Dȇrsim, Turkey, our analysis unfolds the constraining role of socio-spatial structure in the agency and praxis of grassroots movements and their geography-making and crisis-displacement from below. Through the case study, we propound a concept of socio-s…

  • Greening Capitalism? A Marxist Critique of Carbon Markets

    Open Access•Steffen Böhm, Maria Ceci Misoczky et al.•ARTICLE•Organization Studies•2012•Citada por: 64•Referências: 13

    Climate change is increasingly being recognized as a serious threat to dominant modes of social organization, inspiring suggestions that capitalism itself needs to be transformed if we are to 'decarbonize' the global economy. Since the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, carbon markets have emerged as the main politico-economic tools in global efforts to address climate change. Newell and Paterson (2010) have recently claimed that the embrace of carbon marke…

  • (Im)possibilities of Autonomy

    Steffen Böhm, Ana Cecilia Dinerstein et al.•ARTICLE•Social movement studies•2010•Citada por: 35•Referências: 28

    In this paper we interrogate the demand and practice of autonomy in social movements. We begin by identifying three main conceptions of autonomy: (1) autonomous practices vis-à-vis capital; (2) self-determination and independence from the state; and (3) alternatives to hegemonic discourses of development. We then point to limits associated with autonomy and discuss how demands for autonomy are tied up with contemporary re-organizations of: (1) th…

    In a pivotal section of Capital, volume 1, Marx (1976: 279) notes that, in order to understand the capitalist production of value, we must descend into the 'hidden abode of production': the site of the labour process conducted within an employment relationship. In this paper we argue that by remaining wedded to an analysis of labour that is confined to the employment relationship, Labour Process Theory (LPT) has missed a fundamental shift in the …

    This paper explores articulations of the value of investment in culture and the arts through a critical discourse analysis of policy documents, reports and academic commentary since 1997. It argues that in this period, discourses around the value of culture have moved from a focus on the direct economic contributions of the culture industries to their indirect economic benefits. These indirect benefits are discussed here under three main headings…

We contest the notion that ‘uncivil’ necessarily equates with the dark qualities of violence and organized criminality. Instead, we take a Gramscian perspective in suggesting that what becomes ‘uncivil’ is any practice and organization that substantially contests the structuring enclosures of hegemonic order, of which civil…

    In recent years, it has become an increasingly common marketing practice to connect the sale of consumer products to corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, such as aid and development projects in so-called ‘developing’ countries. One example is Volvic’s pioneering ‘1L=10L for Africa’ campaign (2005–2010), which linked the sale of each liter of bottled water in ‘developed’ countries with the promise by Danone, Volvic’s owner, to provid…

    How do groups resist the apparently all-encompassing discourse of management? Rejecting current theories of resistance as `re-appropriation' or `micro-politics', we argue that resistance may be thought of as a hegemonic struggle undertaken by social movements. We identify four major resistance movements that engage with management: unions, organizational misbehaviour, civic movements and civic movement organizations. We argue that these forms of …

    In recent years, it has become an increasingly common marketing practice to connect the sale of consumer products to corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, such as aid and development projects in so-called ‘developing’ countries.

    Open Access•Neil Sutherland, Chris Land et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2014

    Through the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement, the idea of horizontal, leaderless organization has come to the attention of the mass media. In this article we explore radical, participative-democratic alternatives to leadership through an empirical study of four Social Movement Organizations (SMOs). Whilst there has been some writing on leadership within SMOs, it has mirrored the ‘mainstream’ assumption that leadership is the product of individ…

Based on our combined experience in EC research and drawing from a variety of academic fields, we describe six methodological dilemmas that we encounter in our rese…

  • Fruits of our labour

    This is the first special issue of any organisation studies journal on food labour. Why is this a big deal?
