Catalan nationalism, the Catalan government and the environment

Article Abstract:

The Jordi Pujol government in Catalonia has disregarded the environmental dimensions of its planning and economic policies. Despite the environmental costs, the Generalitat's nationalism has stressed on developmentalism as is evident in the approval of the Pla Territorial General which undermines regional sustainable development. However, the creation of the Environmental Department has initiated a limited green slant into the Generalitat's anti-green ideology. Such institutional forms and environmental thinking in Pujolisme has the potential to influence core areas of economic policy.

Environmental sustainabilities: an analysis and a typology

Article Abstract:

An analytical and typological approach to environmental sustainability overcomes the limitations of the definitional and discursive methodologies in sustainability policies. The strategy focuses on the interlink between environmental sustainability, sustainable development and social justice and proposes diverse conceptions and packages of sustainability based on human welfare. Although social justice is central to discourses on sustainability policies, the potential appropriate regime of social justice varies in conceptions of environmental sustainability and sustainable development.

Environmental organisations in a changing environment - major US environmental organisations in the 1990s

Article Abstract:

The 1990s are a time for reflection and reorientation in the American environmental movement. Seventeen environmental organizations were selected for an evaluation of their mode of working in these changing political, economic and cultural times. Six were chosen for close scrutiny on the basis of membership organisations, environmental activism and location of office. The way they decide on issues and course of action, their relationship with the industrial organizations, and their identification with social issues such as employment and environmental justice are discussed.
