Environmental flows

Samenvatting

The sociology of environmental flows combines material and immaterial flows that shape the agency of social actors to engage in environmental reform across global space. It enables a sociological counterpoint to environmental science frameworks and models focus on the materiality of flows. Building on global network theories, the sociology of environmental flows also reflects the shift from conventional categories of state, market, and civil society to hybrid governing modes and governing actors. Contemporary scholarship on the sociology of environmental flows contributes to an understanding of global environmental reform through the interplay between networked programming of norms, values, incentives and materials that shape and reshaped by in situ sustainable practices.
