Environmental Sociology, 2010 European Perspectives and Interdisciplinary Challenges

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Groß Matthias, Heinrichs Harald

Couverture de l’ouvrage Environmental Sociology

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.
