Another one of non-specific/instrumentalist "use" to my overarching project. I came to this - Stavrakakis, Y. (1997). Green ideology: A discursive reading. Journal of Political Ideologies, 2, 259–279 via the fab paper on BP and hegemonisation I read a little while ago. In it Stavrakakis uses some Lacan (really not my cup of tea) and...

First of ten blog posts about academic articles I plan to read before 31st October. In the unlikely event I am ever writing the introduction to a special issue of a highly prestigious academic journal, I know where to come for an example to crib. These guys knocked it out of the park Langley, A.,... Continue Reading →
This morning I finished reading - and blogging about - twenty academic articles around the questions on UK climate policy and (industrial) decarbonisation. The asterisk in the title is because one of them turned out to be a short intro to a section in a journal, and described (very ably) the articles therein. But all... Continue Reading →
Another excellent read in what is CLEARLY the best journal, or at least, the one with the most brilliant, charismatic and downright amazing social media editor... Hildingsson, R., Annica Kronsell & Jamil Khan (2019) The green state and industrial decarbonnisation, Environmental Politics, 28:5, 909-928, DOI: 10.1080/09644016.2018.1488484 And the abstract is This is absolutely FULL of the kind...

Another corker! BP has turned up already in my 20 articles reading (see Nye and Owens 2008)- where it was leading the charge against a climate change levy). And they've been up to their necks in pushing "personal carbon footprints." In this Ferns, G. Kenneth Amaeshi 2019. Fueling Climate (In)Action: How organizations engage in hegemonization...

Loved this! Gave me useful insights on the nature of EOs (employers' organisations), their history, their struggles, their tussles and enough for me to properly start to think about being able to see the world through their eyes... Gooberman, L., Hauptmeier, M., & Heery, E. (2018). The evolution of employers’ organisations in the United Kingdom: Extending... Continue Reading →
Pivoting back to who tries to speed stuff up/slow it down. This - Crawley, S., Coffé, H. & Chapman, R. To what extent do interest group messages shape the public’s climate change policy preferences?. Br Polit (2020). https://doi.org/10.1057/s41293-020-00144-6 was interesting and useful, if not my cup of tea. I find a lot of psychological experimental work not very... Continue Reading →
So, honest guv, I didn't know that this below was the intro to a special issue... Craig, M.P.A. (2018) Greening the state for a sustainable political economy. New Political Economy. ISSN 1356-3467 https://doi.org/10.1080/13563467.2018.1526266 which kinda sorta means it doesn't count to my 20... Abstract- It's introducing 4 articles Re-thinking the Fiscal and Monetary Political Economy of... Continue Reading →
More excellent stuff, helping me situate the 2010-2015 period, some of which I wasn't here for, some of which I wasn't paying close attention to the national level for, some of which I was paying attention, but not close enough... Good academic work will help you do that - put the various fragments and piece... Continue Reading →
Every so often you come across an article that is the bomb. It asks questions you didn't even know you were asking (but you were) and is so obviously shot through with a deep understanding of debates that you barely know the names of. It casually refers to "obvious" distinctions that you would have blundered... Continue Reading →
