Abstract:
In the tradition of new economic sociology, how have the topics of climate change or other environmental issues been taken up?
NEIL. Generally, economic sociologists haven’t been that engaged with this issue. [...] But what’s happened is that the climate crisis is becoming more and more central in societies and politics. [...] Economic sociologists have increasingly started to turn towards ecological issues, particularly climate change. We have a lot of tools for that, both from the political economy side and from the markets side.
JENS. [...] Like Neil, I would say that the tools developed in economic sociology can be usefully applied to the topic of climate change and environmental issues. [...] The tradition of economic sociology offers interesting insights that can be fruitfully applied to issues of climate change.
