▼ This dissertation focuses on a central question for six countries in Asia: what factors affect
environmentalism? Numerous studies have proposed mixed theoretical explanations for the
relationship between diverse values and beliefs regarding
environmentalism. Although these
diverse studies propose theories for the fast-growing and multifaceted
environmentalism in
Asia, here it is argued that the theories only partly explain
environmentalism in Asia due to
lack of empirical studies of this region. Thus, it is questioned whether Asian countries
demonstrate the kinds and levels of
environmentalism that would be expected according to
these theories.
Drawing upon the newest wave of the World Values Survey (WVS), this dissertation analyzes
environmentalism in China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, India, and Malaysia. It begins by
assessing descriptive features of environmental measurement among these countries' publics.
Using bivariate and OLS regression analysis, relationships between three sets of dependent
variables (environmental participation, local environmental concern, and global environmental
concern), and three sets of independent variables (postmaterial factors, cultural and
sociodemographic factors) are analyzed.
Analyses found that there are weak connections between postmaterialism and environmental
participation and environmental concern in these countries. In addition, the divisions between
local and global environmental concern were inconsistent. It was found that more affluent
countries had greater concern for global environmental problems, but it was not evident that
less affluent countries placed more weight on local environmental problems than on global
problems. The results contradict the major theories in
environmentalism, and offer the view
that the conventional associations of environmental values and their influential factors may
not work the same way in Asian countries. In the end, it is proposed that
environmentalism in
Asia did not originate from certain homogenized values; thus, further studies should focus on
addressing how multifaceted environmental values develop into a society's
environmentalism.

The social bases of environmentalism in Australia.

(more)
▼ The nature of support for environmentalism - conceptualised here as attitudes and behaviour supportive of ecological prudence and the green movement - has grown to become a major issue of contention among contemporary social scientists. Some researchers suggest that support for environmentalism stems from a 'new' or 'new middle' class, post World War II generation and, in particular, from among highly educated and left leaning urban dwellers. Others maintain that social location has diminishing utility for explaining social phenomena, and claim instead that new value orientations are the key to understanding support for environmental movements and concerns.
This research aims at reviewing and evaluating these claims. Part I reviews the theoretical arguments underlying the diverse class, generation and social status accounts of environmentalism. Critical evaluation of these accounts forms a springboard for empirical analysis. Part II examines empirically the social bases of environmentalism in Australia using nationally representative survey data. The impact of (new) class, status group, generation/cohort, and other aspects of social location, as well as 'postmaterial' values on environmental concerns and activism is assessed using multivariate techniques. Particular attention is paid to the hypothesis that support for environmentalism in Australia comes from certain status categories of people sharing similar lifestyles.
In general, there is a weak relationship between social location and environmental commitment and activism, although the relative explanatory value of social location varies according to the aspect of environmentalism under consideration. Age, new class location, postmaterialist value orientations and political partisanship are the best predictors of environmental concerns and activism, while lifestyle also has an impact upon environmental group support.
While 'social base' effects are discernible, they have limited utility for explaining environmental new politics. Like other aspects of the new politics, environmental concerns and activism in Australia are detached from the 'old' social bases of class, generation and status. Green supporters and sympathisers in Australia do not form clearly circumscribed social groupings, and they do not seem to be motivated by the traditional group interests that propelled 'old' politics. The social constituencies of environmentalism appear to be vague and fluid thus posing a major challenge to the established sociological approaches to environmentalism.

▼ Friends of the Earth International (FoE!) is a federation of 76 'national' non-governmental organisations. The overall question of the thesis is: What are the processes by which FoEI activists come to accept that FoEI, and national FoE member-groups, exist and have effect as entities? The thesis is an ethnographic exploration of how these organisations are constituted, maintained and have effects in the world. The project addresses two shortcomings in current social science. First, studies of environmentalism in anthropology have so far largely focused on subordinate groups or on the inhabitants of particular areas facing environmental issues, rather than on international arenas of environmental activism. Second, much of the literature on globalization in social theory remains detached from people's daily experiences. This thesis compensates for these shortcomings by focusing on an international environmental federation and by grounding theoretical discussions of globalisation in which environmentalism is given a central place. The thesis interrogates claims of 'global environmentalism' ethnographically through a phenomenological framework. Anthropological approaches to macro-scale issues have either discarded or struggled with phenomenology due to its apparently inherent micro-scale approach. I propose a synthesis of the approaches of Ingold, Latour and Haraway that I call ecological phenomenology. This synthesis provides a theoretical framework within which a range of scales can be taken into account. In the course of my argument, I develop three concepts to map and explore the simultaneous workings of impersonal structure and personal agency. These are: fields offorces, vectors and direction of attention. I propose to substitute these notions for the more traditional notion of 'relations' in anthropology. The interplay of vectors more precisely explains how the various types of entities (including supra-personal institutions) that FoE activists encounter are formed, the agency they exert, as well as the effectiveness of activists' personal power in dealing with them.

▼ Environmentalism as a concept has gone through a development since the term was first coined and today it is such a board term that it comprises several issues. It has become a global concern that affects not only the United States but the rest of the world as well. I am going to examine the process by which the concept broadened and changed, the way it became a global issue and most important of all, I will deal with what role the United States played in this process, by summing up what the country added to the concept of
environmentalism.

▼ This dissertation focuses on a conservative, affluent, and white community—Santa Barbara, California to chart the rise a popular, aesthetic environmentalism in the twentieth-century United States. Acknowledged by environmentalists and historians as a principal site of the emergence of modern environmentalism after a 1969 offshore oil spill, the city’s reputation had long rested on the idea that the place epitomized California’s—and thus the nation’s—riches of natural beauty and climate. Beginning in the 1920s residents came together in a shared project of transforming the urban fabric under the belief that their city situated between the mountains and ocean could enjoy the benefits of modern, urban American life while avoiding its excesses and ills. Their work underscores how commitments and visions shared among individuals became a domesticated and inwardly-oriented and highly localized environmental politics that functioned as a lateral way to depoliticize ideas about the environment, urban life, and community belonging. Physical transformations structured conceptions of the environment over time, but also provided visible evidence for them. Exploring granular details including specificities about place and local attachments put into relief the possibilities, but also the shortcomings, of lived experience as a catalyst for environmental action.

▼ The Liezi is regarded the third of the Daoist classics following the Laozi and the Zhuangzi. Dating from the pre-Han period (ca. 4-5 century B.C.) to the Six Dynasties (229-589 A.D.), the Liezi constitutes a rich collection of more than a hundred and forty parables, mystical accounts, and philosophical treatises. This dissertation explores the Liezi’s idea of nature in four aspects: (1) cosmology; (2) view of life; (3) the way to attain harmony and union with nature; and (4) social and political view of human-nature relations.
Chapter one explores the Liezi’s cosmology, which presents a holistic and organic worldview based on the theory of qi. This chapter first explores the meaning and concept of qi, which is the common medium of all beings in nature. Life begins from the gathering of qi and ends in disperse of qi. As the dispersed qi gathers again, new life is born. Accordingly, different forms of lives, based on their common endowment of qi, are interrelated in a chain of metamorphoses. The Liezi thus presents a holistic and organic worldview in which the boundaries and categorizations of human, animals, plants, and matters, dissolve.
Chapter two analyzes the Liezi’s view of life, which supports an anti-anthropocentric and egalitarian view of all beings in nature. Since all lives are formed by the common medium of qi, they have no difference in nature and are equally noble and vile. Accordingly, humans are not superior to other species, but all beings have equal value. Be it humans, animals, plants, or mater substances, all are indispensable in their participation in the metamorphoses of qi, and thereby are equally meaningful in their existences.
Chapter three discusses the Daoist ethics of life that is nature friendly and sustainable. Regarding practical way of life, the Liezi not only inherits Laozi and Zhuangzi’s ideas of simplicity, frugality and humility, but also shows an intriguing connection to certain mystic beliefs and practices. The notions of faith and belief in the correspondence between human and nature reflect the Liezi’s mystical and religious approach to the ultimate goal of union with the Way.
Chapter four explores the Liezi’s political thought and its implication to environmental policy. The Liezi’s political thought synthesizes various theories of Confucianism, Legalism, and the Huang-Lao school, with the Daoist ideal of non-action as its most basic principle and ultimate goal. It is noteworthy, however, that “non-action” does not means doing nothing literally. In fact, the Daoist idea of non-action, or non-interference when applied to environmental policy, requires humans to attentively observe, understand, and follow the way nature works. Only when people act according to what is opportune and expedient can they live and prosper together with all beings in nature.
The concluding chapter summarizes the key points and central ideas of the Liezi in comparison with major principles of environmental philosophy to evaluate the Liezi’s potential contributions to…

▼ This dissertation traces the origins and development
of environmental activism in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia,
from the late 1950s to 1990, with a central focus on the period
from 1970 to 1985, during which the structure of the lasting
movement took shape. The crucial events or issues that both
produced and molded the movement in Nova Scotia are discussed in
detail over three chapters of the dissertation. They include a
foray into nuclear energy promotion by the provincial government in
the 1970s, a set of controversies over chemical biocide use in
industrial forestry from 1975 to 1983, and a fight to prevent
uranium mining in the early 1980s. Each campaign brought activists
closer to recognizing the differences that divided them. The factor
that unites the three central controversies and the many others
that join them in this dissertation is the ideological content of
their history, specifically the progressive divergence of activist
organizations inspired by fundamentally different views of the
nature of environmental problems and the potential for their
solution within the existing modernist industrial society. It is
the tensions between the eco-modernist mainstream and the radical
minority that account in large part for the successes and failures
of activists in the province, as well as for the nature of their
interactions with governments, industries, and fellow activists
outside of Nova Scotia. Indeed, the relationship of centres and
peripheries – intraCanadian or intraprovincial – constitutes a
vital theme in explaining the origin of
environmentalism as well as
its fragmentation. This account of Nova Scotian environmental
activism addresses the common reality of
environmentalism in
Canada. As this research suggests, the country's
environmentalism
can only be understood, in any era, through the lens of its
provincial components and through an analysis that relies on
ideological difference as much as the material factors of social
movement mobilization.

▼ This thesis is about the relationship between radical environmental activists and nature. It investigates whether, for forest and whaling activists, nature is experienced as an active, as opposed to passive, participant in the construction and shaping of their identity and activism. Two research questions guide the investigation: what are radical environmental activists’ perspectives and lived experiences of nature, and what identity and meaning-making processes are involved in the relational dynamics between these activists and the nature they are defending?
The concepts ‘nature’, ‘self-identity’ and ‘more-than-human agency’ are developed into an analytical framework to support the investigation. A phenomenological perspective guides the inquiry’s focus on the research participants’ lived experiences of defending nature, their changing self-identities and the ways they construct meaning about their lifeworlds.
Forest activists engaged in direct action campaigns designed to prevent clear-felling of old growth forests in Tasmania, and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society activists undertaking campaigns in the Southern Ocean to protect whales, participated in in depth qualitative interviews. A thematic analysis was employed that aims to uncover the phenomenological themes, or experiential elements, of the participants’ experiences.
The inquiry’s findings contribute to environmentalism scholarship and the study of nature-human relationships. They also demonstrate the need to appreciate the role of nature as an active contributor to activist self-identity and culture.

▼ Theorizing the relationship between sovereignty and nature has posed challenges to both scholars and activists. Some believe that sovereignty is a problematic institutional constraint that hampers the formulation of holistic solutions to ecological problems, while others contend that the norms, practices and institutions of sovereignty can be stretched in pursuit of ecological and social sustainability. Complicating this picture is the fact that the empirical contours of sovereignty have shifted of late, as the authority and control of the nation-state has been challenged by neoliberal globalization and the transboundary realities of many environmental challenges, creating a crisis of legitimacy that societal actors attempt to ameliorate in various ways. This dissertation begins from the observation that "nature" - the socially constructed ideal employed to capture the vast multiplicity of the non-human realm - is increasingly central to the process through which individuals, interest groups and social movements attempt to create more democratic, sustainable or ethical political communities and forms of governance. As environmental politics continue to gain traction within mainstream political discourses, environmentalists and non-environmentalists alike are inserting nature into struggles to reconfigure sovereignty toward a particular ecological and/or social ethos. In exploring this interaction, I ask: how do societal groups conceptualize and work to reconfigure the relationship between nature and sovereignty? And what are the social and ecological implications of the normative ideals that they attempt to institutionalize? In order to gain insight into these questions, I examine contemporary American debates over the environmental impacts of immigration. Discussions of the so-called "immigration problem" have been contentious for American greens, leading to significant division within environmentalist organizations, and surprising alliances with a variety of other societal interests. The individuals and organizations involved all attempt to challenge the status quo, but deploy vastly different conceptions of nature, political community and governance to do so. Turning to individuals and organizations who have taken public stances within this debate, I employ (1) textual analysis of websites and publications; (2) semi-structured interviews; and (3) content analysis, in considering the various discursive pathways through which environmental restrictionists and their opponents attempt to reconfigure sovereignty. Through this empirical analysis, I make the case that the discursive terrain on which the relationship between nature and sovereignty resides remains poorly understood - to the detriment of efforts to promote socially and ecologically inclusive polities.

▼ This thesis explores the theory of ecological imperialism. The term eco-imperialism refers to a postcolonialist critique of environmentalist initiatives, as they are argued to portray imperialist characteristics. It claims that ideas from the Global North are imposed on the Global South, reinforcing their political and economic dominance. This thesis aims to test this theory on the case of the fires in the Brazilian Amazonian rainforest. Deforestation can be portrayed as a devasting process internationally, but at the same time, as progress and economic development locally. This discrepancy between local and international perspectives possibly portrays imperialist patterns. A critical discourse analysis is performed on international governmental and non-governmental sources covering these fires. This analysis aims to find proof of imperialist rhetoric. In addition, the Brazilian reaction to such discourse will be analyzed to strengthen this argument and find possible implications of current environmentalist discourse and counter-productive effects. The analysis finds numerous instances of discourse that point toward imperialist power relations in both governmental and non-governmental sources. However, especially NGOs repeatedly described the Amazon as being theirs and excluded local perspectives. With increasing international environmental attention and cooperation, it is important to ensure that initiatives are not counterproductive, and that equal agency is provided globally in order to guard itself from past mistakes in international interventions.

▼ The proliferation of green parties on the European political landscape in recent decades has prompted much debate concerning the explanation of their emergence and the factors considered to influence their varying levels of electoral success. This thesis critically examines a number of perspectives and concepts drawn from the sociological and political studies literatures which shed light on these two key issues. Through a comparison of green party politics in Austria, Britain and the Netherlands, the thesis challenges the assessment of those who maintain that the emergence and/or electoral success of green parties can be understood principally in terms of the theory of 'post-materialist' value change, or in terms of the shift to 'post-industrial' society. Drawing on contemporary studies of 'high-consequence' risks, it argues for an alternative approach to understanding the emergence of green parties which is rooted in processes of social and global environmental change that have taken place during the post-war period. The question of green party electoral success is examined by means of the organisation of a variety of political and institutional factors into four overarching themes: political state-institutional structures, electoral dealignment and political competition, modes of interest representation, and internal dynamics. It is contended that attention to each of these can yield important insights into the conditions which have impacted on the electoral significance of green parties in Austria, Britain and the Netherlands. The final part of the thesis develops a new, ecologically informed approach to the emergence of green parties based primarily upon a reworking and synthesis of themes explored in previous chapters.

▼ Previous research suggests human–nature relations are influenced by human–human relations, particularly those related to the inclusion of others in self. Individuals who construe the self as more interdependent from others are more likely to protect nature than those who construe the self as more independent from others. We conducted cross-cultural and experimental studies to examine this proposition systematically using a recently developed seven-dimension model of self-construal. Study 1 (N = 7,279, k = 55) confirmed that those who saw themselves as more connected and committed to others were more likely to endorse environmental protectionism. Multilevel moderation analysis indicated that the association between commitment to others and environmental protection was stronger in societies that express greater difference to others and have greater self-expression, commitment to others, environmental performance, and societal development. However, experimentally priming interdependent versus independent self-construals in Study 2 (N = 419) did not increase participants’ connectedness with nature, but nature connectedness mediated the relationships between connection to others and pro-environmental attitudes. Results indicate that inclusion of others in self translates into inclusion of nature in self and environmental protection but inducing this effect may be challenging.

▼ This research project examined personal environmental behaviors of high school freshman biology students who were exposed to environmental topics in class and participated in environmental action projects. The effectiveness of classroom lessons and action projects on student's environmental behaviors were evaluated. The student's environmental awareness and voluntary environmental behaviors were monitored throughout the year by in class surveys, short answer responses, informal classroom discussions/interviews and teacher journals. Findings suggest that changing voluntary behaviors is not a quick and easy process. However, the researcher was able to see continued voluntary environmental behaviors in a portion of the students after the completion of action projects.

▼ This thesis explores how an inter-tribal coalition in Southern Utah is strategically mobilizing environmental ethics in order to guarantee access to tribal homelands. Facing serious threat from Anglo communities in Utah who use race and religion to produce themselves as the authentic local population, the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition forges new kinds of alliances with environmental groups and appropriates conservation and preservation ethics in order to reclaim the land. Indigenous articulations of
environmentalism at Bears Ears disrupt the colonial temporal and spatial logics that undergird dominant American imaginaries of wilderness and antiquity, reattaching Native peoples to the land by centering Native American relationships to the natural world as indispensable to the future of preservation and conservation in the U.S. I employ a critical indigenous studies lens to critique how tribal governments contending with settler colonial politics of recognition strategically engage environmentalist rhetoric and align with conservation groups to assert an authentic indigeneity and guarantee their access to the land.

▼ Contestation of the Keystone XL and the Dakota Access pipelines gathered in resistance a coalition of progressives, farmers and ranchers, environmentalists, and Native Nations. While these groups appear united in opposition to the pipeline, the principles and strategies of the grassroots at stake in this emergent environmental movement have been more heavily contested than recognized by existing literatures. While long-standing rifts certainly still exist between mainstream liberal environmental organizations and radical movements for environmental justice, I argue that the ideological field of contemporary environmentalism cannot be understood without taking into account the emergence of environmental populism. Populism is the ideology and political formation that takes “the people” as the principle and proper political actor. A mass movement of the people is positioned in opposition to corporations, corrupt institutions, and elites, all of whom trample upon their rights to participate and decide environmental futures. How does pipeline populism, as a collective social phenomenon, emerge from and transform contemporary ideologies of environmental politics? What consequences does it have for the political nexus of global climate chaos, racial capitalism, and ongoing settler colonialism? If we are right to think that only through people’s movements can we adequately and democratically address global climate change, scholars and activists alike must understand the underlying tensions in the desires and ideologies of what is meant to be “the people’s climate movement.” The People versus the Pipelines: Energy Infrastructure and Grassroots Ideology in North American Environmentalism addresses these questions by examining the internal tensions within populist ideologies in the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Iowa. Intervening in interdisciplinary environmental scholarship and political theories concerning the relationships among ideology and desire in populist politics, this project develops a conceptual and methodological framework that understands environmental populism as emerging from resentment towards dispossession, democratic public participation, and expert knowledges. Through interviews, participant observation, and cultural and media analysis, I demonstrate how environmentalist practices are shifting from appeals to state institutions toward a movement of the people. I argue that while environmental populism attempts to take leave of elitism, its aspirations to ground property, democracy, and expertise emerge from liberal affective infrastructures and congeal into a political activism that can reproduce Euro-American, settler colonial, and nationalist tropes. This research intervenes in interdisciplinary debates in environmental studies, political ecology, and political theory by questioning the role of environmentalism in sustaining a politics of exclusion through a left-populist ideology. I take up the complex problem of race and legacies of colonialism in movements against fossil fuels to demonstrate the sustained…

▼ This dissertation examines conflicts involving the use of public land for both extractive resources and recreational purposes in Southern Illinois from an anthropological perspective. These conflicts are examined in terms of place, western ideas of nature and culture, and the debate concerning conservation versus preservation. The beginning point for this work was the question of whether or not place building influences conflicts over public land. The conflicts that this work encompasses are logging, hunting, use of off-road vehicles, equestrian, and hydraulic fracturing. My goal was to look at different recreational conflicts of Southern Illinois and determine how issues of place, nature and culture, and conservation versus preservation ethics play into those conflicts. What I found is that all of these factors are inextricably intertwined and that both sides of these conflicts are informed by the identities and place-making of those involved and the perception of those identities and places.

▼ In this thesis I argue that within Canadian society, mainstream environmentalism has been constructed as a consumer-based activity that fundamentally excludes low income households and serves to support a capitalist economy. Historically, humans’ relationship to the environment has been based on economic benefit and so people readily accept this construction of environmentalism as it conforms to established social norms. Contemporary research has shown that eco-labeling is one of the primary marketing tools that give the impression of social structural change while keeping capitalism intact.
This thesis critically examines documents from three Canadian sources: the Toronto Star newspaper, the David Suzuki Foundation website, and the Canadian Government. By applying the theories of social constructionism and representation, I show that these documents and articles have multiple levels and meanings about environmentalism that favour the capitalist agenda. This analysis also identifies four main ways in which these sources contribute to and reinforce the exclusion of low income families from Canadian mainstream environmentalism: 1) sources primarily promote ‘green’ consumables and disregard the associated cost of these goods, 2) sources do not acknowledge the constraints associated with level of access to non-consumable green resources, 3) sources shape environmental problems as economic issues by focusing on corporations, and 4) increased time commitments associated with green behaviour are not acknowledged. These three sources would suggest that the current form of environmentalism, as a consumer based construct, exclude low income household in mainstream Canadian society. By illuminating some of the problems with the current construction of environmentalism, it becomes possible to construct new perspectives on environmentalism that are both effective and inclusive.

▼ The belief that changes in personal behavior can save the planet has spawned a consumer movement that instills in receptive shoppers an imperative to buy "green." Varying levels of adoption notwithstanding, the principles of sustainable living, including ???green??? consumerism, are imbued with the expectation that individual action will lead to a richer, fuller and better life in a cleaner and healthier world, what the author calls the Green American Dream. This version of the American dream is based on the premise that adoption of a more ecologically sound lifestyle will transform the country from a wasteful, materialistic society into a thoughtful and farsighted one that will care as much for future generations as for the present. Sources of data for the evidence of a Green American Dream as well as the commercial response to this dream include Jim Cullen???s The American Dream ??? a Short History of an Idea that Shaped a Nation, the book that inspired this thesis, and marketing research on consumer attitudes and sales data for green consumer products.
The Green American Dream is one in a series of American dreams that began with the country???s European settlers and continues to evolve over time along with the definition of the ???good life.??? The Green Dream continues the traditional belief that propels Americans forward: the idea that life can be better, richer and fuller. The evolution of American dream speaks to its enduring power.

Building Ecotheology: Nature Veneration in Architecture and

▼ As the world ventures onwards dismayed by
anthropogenic climate change, the built environment is increasingly
complicit in the subjugation and substitution of the nature much to
the dismay of those who revere nature for its sacredness.
Architecture’s ability to mediate this issue will be tested and new
opportunities to reinforce ecological conscience must be explored.
In the perpetual pursuit for sustainable design solutions it is
propitious that architecture would be an instrument to encourage
both technological and behavioural
environmentalism in faith
adherent communities in concert with nature veneration. Much of the
world’s diverse populations still deeply adhere to religious creeds
that venerate nature which has influenced architectural design and
religious materialism throughout history offering a unique
perspective on building among sacred nature. Over time, religious
attitudes of preservation have been besieged by industrial and
artificial realities and institutions of stewardship are undermined
by socio-political agendas and intrareligious discord. The
employment of ecological values in religious architecture may be
the catalyst for energizing these faith communities and in the
benefit of the wider environmental stewardship. By recognition and
incorporation of ecotheology alongside our environmental
architecture initiatives lies the potential for a new basis of
design in parallel to technological implementations that
circumvents modern capitalist anxieties and strives to re-establish
the connection between nature veneration and our built environment.
This thesis incorporates a cross-disciplinary analysis that
advocates the merging of religious attitudes and
environmentalism
in the design of modern religious architecture. Investigations into
three different conditions of conflict that encompasses different
triangular relationships of architecture, religion, and
socio-political systems is undertaken to illustrate proposals and
difficulties that challenge how religious architecture exist in
their changing communities. The appreciation of their potential
will provide the basis of a discussion to address the growing
environmental movement within different religious communities and
their involvement with their built environment in the face of
anthropogenic climate change; how architecture can be employed to
reinforce or manipulate attitudes of
environmentalism and promote
environmental literacy; and how aspects of nature veneration can be
exported through architecture to the larger society to establish
ecotheology’s legitimacy and create a unified alliance against
anthropogenic climate change.

▼ This dissertation improves upon past understanding of politics, religion, and nature through a close exploration of the role Christian theology plays in opinion formation. It does so by probing the varieties of religiously motivated environmental stewardship and religious attitudes towards anthropogenic changes of nature. The dissertation also develops new methodological tools to better understand the role of faith during the Anthropocene.
The study employs a mixed-method approach which compares analysis of denominational proclamations about global warming with in-person clergy interviews and survey data collected from two American heartland states. The survey data primarily focuses on climate change, with genetically modified organisms as an additional example of humans altering the natural order. Unique to this dissertation are new measurements of Christian theologies about the human relationship with the created order, which clarify an enduring debate over religion and the environment.
In particular, theology encouraging dominion over nature has almost vanished from religious consciousness. Instead, the key theological distinction is between stewardship as resource management and stewardship as preservation. These theological distinctions help explain acceptance or resistance to anthropogenic changes to nature and they illuminate important differences in policy preferences around climate change, global warming, and other science-driven policy areas

▼ This study examines the philosophical and
political principles informing radical environmental activism in
the United States. The major groups that comprise this movement –
Earth First!, the Earth and Animal Liberation Fronts, and the Sea
Shepherd Conservation Society – are united by a particularly
militant breed of ecocentrism: a commitment to defend the integrity
of wild nature by any means necessary, including illegal and
potentially violent tactics. This study is the first to depict
militant ecology as an intellectual as well as political movement,
one with its own theorists and philosophical antecedents, which
expresses a coherent and compelling alternative to the
philosophical and political outlook of modernity.
The first part focuses on the scientific,
metaphysical, religious, and anthropological principles informing
militant ecology activism. Comparisons with other schools of
contemporary green political thought show that, despite its
unsystematic nature, militant ecology offers the most consistent
articulation of an ecocentric political theory. However, the
movement is not monolithic in its interpretation of these
principles. For some activists, ecocentrism entails a commitment to
uphold the natural order and defend wilderness against human greed
and hubris, while others understand it as a call to end oppression
and fight for justice for all life on Earth – humans included. For
the purposes of this study, these two camps are described,
respectively, as ecowarriors and total
liberationists. The second half
examines the “future primitive” political program of militant
ecology. In the end, it is apparent that despite many valid
critiques of the contemporary political system, certain aspects of
the militant ecology program are incompatible with the movement’s
commitment to effective action in defense of wild nature.
Particular attention is devoted to the differences among total
liberationists and ecowarriors and determining which camp is more
consistent in its commitment to the principles of militant
ecocentrism. Though ecowarriors have been most frequently
criticized for their indifference to social justice, this study
concludes that it is in fact the total liberationist wing, with its
more anthropocentric focus and higher likelihood of co-optation by
the political left, that poses a greater threat to the radical core
of militant ecology.

▼ Population discourse has been woven throughout the Sierra Club rhetoric and evolved into an internal, yet public debate over the Sierra???s Club???s immigration policy. This debate generated moments that reproduce systems of power as well as spurred anti-immigration
environmentalism. This research is an intersectional feminist genealogy of population discourse that reveals how rhetoric and representation get articulated through the Sierra Club. This genealogy is informed through the investigation of public artifacts generated from the Sierra Club. Rigorous content analysis of this discourse brings attention to an ideology that objectifies and seeks to control bodies of color, particularly women. By focusing on fertility and the ???other,??? the actual detrimental root causes of ecological degradation goes missing. This thesis is an attempt to provide a moment of resistance in a dominant discourse that maintains and reproduces racism and sexism, as well as other forms of oppression, within United States
environmentalism.

▼ Environmental activism has emerged in China since the mid-1990s and environmental nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs) are becoming increasingly visible players in China‟s environmental politics, drawing hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens intoenvironmental activities. Through a close look at the Greener Beijing Institute (GBI), this thesis examines how this grassroots group has developed in a gradual way and the characteristics of it in the context of Chinese political and social conditions. The thesisalso discusses the main campaigns GBI has carried out and what difficulties they have met with in the process to exemplify how the environmental movement actually operates in China. In conclusion, the thesis shows that Chinese ENGOs today tend to adopt a conciliatory style to raise public consciousness and expand the space for political participation. Nevertheless, the road ahead for China‟s ENGOs is still hard. They often lack necessary financial support, technical capacity and broad public participation.

▼ It is argued that the realisation of ecopolitical values, interests and
demands is inevitably constrained by material interests within advanced
industrial societies. The policy environment in the state of Tasmania is
examined, and both a traditional affirmation and accommodation of the
goals of industrial development, and a resistance to the more recent
ecopolitical challenge to established state interests is found. However, a
review of four key environmental disputes finds that the politics of
ecology ('ecopolitics'), despite routine constraint by material interests,
continues to defy predictions of its inevitable demise as a 'single issue',
and continues to gain ground as an ideological force in Tasmania.
In reviewing the capacity of environmentalists to realise their aims
(i) the nature and significance of the ecopolitical challenge is considered;
(ii) ideological contention as a constraint in the realisation of ecopolitical
interests is examined; (iii) the limits of state response to ecopolitical
demands are reviewed; (iv) the political expression of conflicting values
over two decades of Tasmanian ecopolitical conflict are examined; and (v)
the Tasmanian tradition of underwriting industrial development is
found to have acted as a 'policy paradigm' confining state action on
environmental issues. A policy based framework of analysis is adopted
that acknowledges ideological, political and institutional constraints, and
is informed by (i) ecopolitical theory, given the deficiencies of traditional
policy analysis in capturing the nature of the ecopolitical challenge, and
(ii) power analysis in addressing policy constraint. -This framework
recognises ecopolitics as a struggle between value contenders, and
ecopolitical demands as potentially limited by the constraining influence
of dominant values and industrial interests. This framework is applied to analysis of the Lake Pedder, Franklin
River, Electrona silicon smelter and Wesley Vale pulp mill disputes.
These disputes are detailed in Chapter Four, then reviewed in Chapter
Five in terms of the nature of the environmental values at stake, the
accommodation or frustration of these values, and the actions of the state
in resolving the disputes. Whilst the ecopolitical challenge is not found
to have been contained in Tasmania, environmental demands are
nevertheless found to have been constrained by material values, the
accommodation of industrial interests, and the institutionalisation of the
traditional pursuits of development and resource exploitation.

▼ Certain prominent environmental theorists have accounted for and/or addressed our unmitigated environmentally damaging behavior in cognitive terms, related to a common (misplaced) belief that economic development and technological advancement, among other contemporary processes, will solve our environmental problems. However, I argue that they have not given due consideration to the complex (predominantly non-cognitive/non-conscious) discursive constitution of the individual, and thus seem to adhere to a Kantian notion of autonomy that overlooks such non-cognitive factors. Focusing on this non-cognitive aspect of discursive constitution, I ascribe our ecological apathy mainly to the fact that we have been discursively constituted as docile bodies and prostrate subjects. Further, I argue that, because this process of discursive constitution is primarily non-cognitive, any attempts to remedy our ecological apathy at a cognitive level alone will not be completely effective.
Consequently, I propose that a more effective way of fostering pro-environmental dispositions may be for individuals to engage in an ethic/culture of the self that is not exclusively conceptual in orientation, and which is centered on the practice of a counter-discourse that does not constitute the individual as docile and prostrate nor negate the individual’s dependence on the environment. Alternatively, in order to engender pro-environmental civilizational change, it may be necessary to operate within the discursive parameters of dominant/popular institutions, in order to incrementally alter the discourses employed within, and disseminated through, these institutions, in a manner that would lead to the problematization, rather than the endorsement, of the ecologically deleterious technological, political and economic trajectories of our time.

Is it a Responsibility of Marketing to Encourage
Moderation of Consumption?.

▼ There has been a steadily growing concern by
governments, NGO’s and international agencies regarding the rising
rate of consumption in industrialised countries. Despite warnings
and evidence showing the relationship between rising consumption
and climate change, and the uptake of initiatives and education at
business and consumer levels, the trend towards consuming more and
more continues unabated. Questions have been raised regarding the
relationship between marketing and rising consumption. In line with
this, the research will investigate the responsibility of marketing
to encourage consumers to moderate their consumption behaviour.
The research will address three broad objectives:· To
identify whether marketing professionals feel responsible for
encouraging consumers to moderate their consumption· To
identify and explain the reasons why marketers would encourage
moderation of consumption· To understand the construct
‘marketing responsibility to encourage moderation of consumption’
and explain the influences upon the acceptance of responsibilityThe
research adopted a mixed-methods design. Qualitative research
methods were used to explore perceptions of responsibility and
develop a typology of motivations to explain why marketers would
encourage moderation. An online, quantitative survey (n=359) was
conducted in the USA and UK in January 2011. The results evidenced
an acceptance of responsibility which is suggestive of a changing
role for the marketing discipline. The results found support for
the typology of motivations which were developed during the
qualitative phase of the research, in particular, highlighting the
importance of ethical and cost-saving motivations. The level of
environmentalism in the workplace, and in the private life of the
marketer, was found to influence the acceptance of marketing
responsibility to encourage moderation. Finally, the motivation to
remain competitive was also associated with the acceptance of
marketing responsibility. The acceptance of responsibility to
encourage moderation of consumption highlights a changing role for
marketing which could potentially signify far-reaching changes in
practical terms, in the way marketing is taught, and in the public
policy domain.

▼ A small number of studies have reported a negative association between social dominance orientation (SDO: the relative preference for social inequality and intergroup dominance) and
environmentalism. However, the existing research has yet to fully investigate the nature of this relationship. In this thesis, I develop a programme of research that aims to clarify how ideology relates to
environmentalism, in several important ways.
I start by systematically reviewing the relationship between SDO, the related ideological construct of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA: the preference to submit to authority and tradition, and punish those who deviate), and
environmentalism. I do this by meta-analysing the associations reported in the existing literature, and previously un-published datasets. These analyses show that both ideological constructs are important for understanding human-environment relations. Importantly, SDO is more strongly related to
environmentalism in general population samples than in student samples, which helps to reconcile previous inconsistencies in the literature.
I then explore the ideology-
environmentalism link over time, comparing the strengths of the associations with
environmentalism and SDO and RWA. Consistent with the meta-analyses I show that, while RWA is more predictive of changes in environmental attitudes over time in student populations, SDO is the key predictor among general population samples. Therefore, dependent on sample, these findings indicate that endorsing these ideologies lead to changes in
environmentalism over time.
Next, I elaborate on the SDO-
environmentalism relationship by exploring whether and how the two facets of SDO (anti-egalitarianism and dominance) differentially relate to environment-relevant attitudes. Overall, I find that anti-environmental attitudes are largely driven by individual preference for inequality rather than for intergroup dominance.
Previous work, including my own, has focused exclusively on quantitative survey-based methods. I invited individuals scoring relatively high, moderately, and low on SDO to share their ideas on climate change. Interviews with these individuals revealed that many were concerned about the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to climate change. Most participants were also armed with justifications excusing their, and others’, inaction on the problem. To establish how the ideas shared in the interviews related to SDO, I reworked them into statements for survey-based research. This research demonstrates that ideology (both SDO and RWA) also related to most of these interview-based statements, with those scoring higher on dominance attitudes more opposed to top-down action on climate change, and those more tolerant of inequality more opposed to individual action.
In sum, my work adds to the growing body of research that establishes ideology as a barrier to environmental engagement. My findings support the interpretation of SDO as a barrier to engagement through an environmental justice framework. If we are to stop…

▼ This dissertation explores different concepts that psychotherapists use to think about the human-nature relationship through a systematic literature review. A dialectical model is suggested, one that integrates the wide range of concepts into a relational perspective. Two dialectics of empathic versus analytic, and materialist versus idealist perspectives are also contained within the model. Difficulties in therapy are highlighted, including the difficulty of holding the importance of both internal subjective psychological realities, and that of pressing environmental issues. The challenges of relating to nature in the Aotearoa bicultural context are explored, including dangers of ecopsychology appropriating or colonising the indigenous. It is argued that Western cultures themselves already contain resources for relating more closely to nature in the form of language that evokes a direct and intimate relationship with nature.
