Environmental Sociology, 2010 European Perspectives and Interdisciplinary Challenges
Coordonnateurs : Groß Matthias, Heinrichs Harald
Despite being a relatively young sub-discipline, European environmental sociology has changed considerably in the last decades towards more interdisciplinary collaborations and problem solving. Current trends such as global environmental modernization and processes of economic, political and socio-cultural globalization, fuelled by developments of transport, environmental flows, scientific uncertainty, and information technologies, have fostered new conceptual approaches that move beyond classical sociological mind-sets toward broader attempts to connect to other disciplines.
Covers a broad spectrum of sociological and environmental social science concepts ranging from rational choice, practice theory to earth system governance
Focuses on the inter- and transdisciplinary potential of environmental sociology
Discusses modern societies' reform needs, limits and new possibilities to adapt to and shape its natural environments
Highlights the potential to social sustainability transformation at large
