102. Sustaining developments in environmental sociology

Author

Benton, Ted, Redclift, Michael, Shove, Elizabeth, Benton, Ted, Redclift, Michael, and Shove, Elizabeth

Abstract

I have no intention of responding to this challenge by mapping the boundaries of environmental social theory. Such an exercise would be incomplete the moment it was finished. In any case, environmental challenges spread far and wide, presenting opportunities for multidisciplinary enquiry which subject-based definitions cannot encompass. For the time being, therefore, it is tempting to favour limitlessly broad understandings of ‘the environment’, allowing a thousand flowers to bloom rather than risking any prematurely restrictive definition. This open approach has its advantages but it is important not to dodge the definitional issues entirely. If the ‘global environment’ is so loose a term that anything can be accommodated under its generous umbrella the questions outlined above will be too slippery to address. One practical solution is to take the chapters in this volume as a point of departure. Drawing upon this material we can begin to construct a considered response to those nagging jibes about the substance, status and future of sociological involvement in global environmental debate.

129. 16 Steering Research Toward Policy: The Case of Social Science and Environmental Change.

Author

Shove, Elizabeth and Redclift, Michael

Subjects
RESEARCH, ENVIRONMENTAL policy, POLICY sciences, SOCIAL sciences
Abstract

The chapter compares research regimes that suggest that systems of funding and management influence the content of research and formulation of policy problems. Reasons perceived relevance of social science has increased but one has been the need to design more effective environmental policy. In practice, research systems generate constantly shifting alliances and incentives which have unpredictable and unintended consequences. Formal analysis of initiatives to steer research reveals something of the organization of policy priorities, but still leaves unanswered questions about the circulation of issues between research and policy and uses to which social science is put.
