摘要

社会学家很清楚经济增长与环境保护之间的基本对立,但在社会学理论中,国家在环境保护和监管中的作用却没有得到充分的说明。我们定义了环境状态,并将其提供环境福利的两种结构力量理论化。首先,文化上独特的自然结构塑造了环境政治和治国方略。与有魅力的“特殊”性质有关的国家行动经常赢得广泛的政治支持,而与不那么引起共鸣的“普通”性质有关的行动却得不到支持。其次,发展主义的历史遗产塑造了环境联盟。将过去的采掘与新的监管职责结合起来的环境国家部门能够更好地获得广泛的支持,而狭隘的监管或发展部门则难以做到这一点。我们说明了每个过程与环境监管政治和技术科学专业知识的相关性。这两个过程都有助于解释环境状态的不同功效,并为它们的比较研究奠定了基础。

The Environmental State: Nature and the Politics of Environmental Protection
Basic oppositions between economic growth and environmental protection are well understood by sociologists, but the state’s role in environmental protection and regulation is underspecified in sociological theory. We define the environmental state and theorize two structuring forces central to its provision of environmental welfare. First, culturally distinctive constructions of nature shape environmental politics and statecraft. State actions linked to charismatic “special” nature often win broad political support, whereas actions linked to less resonant “ordinary” nature do not. Second, historical legacies of developmentalism shape environmental coalitions. Arms of the environmental state that combine extractive pasts with newer regulatory responsibilities are better able to build broad support, whereas narrowly regulatory or developmental arms struggle to do so. We illustrate the relevance of each process for the politics of environmental regulation and of technoscientific expertise. Both processes help explain the varied efficacy of environmental states and set the stage for their comparative study.

期刊介绍: Published for the American Sociological Association, this important journal covers the full range of sociological theory - from ethnomethodology to world systems analysis, from commentaries on the classics to the latest cutting-edge ideas, and from re-examinations of neglected theorists to metatheoretical inquiries. Its themes and contributions are interdisciplinary, its orientation pluralistic, its pages open to commentary and debate. Renowned for publishing the best international research and scholarship, Sociological Theory is essential reading for sociologists and social theorists alike.
