Andrew Jorgenson
Andrew Jorgenson is Professor of Sociology and Professor of Environmental Studies at Boston College. The primary area of his research is the political economy and human ecology of global environmental change. His secondary areas of research include the environmental and institutional conditions that shape public health outcomes in developing nations, the political economy of development and inequality, and the globalization of environmental concern. Much of his research is done in collaboration with graduate students as well as with colleagues around the world. His current research (with CO-PIs Don Grant at University of Colorado-Boulder and Wes Longhofer at Emory University) on the facility-level and country-level factors that shape power plant carbon emissions is funded by the National Science Foundation.
He is the chair-elect of the Environment and Technology Section of the American Sociological Association, a member of the American Sociological Association’s Task Force on Global Climate Change, affiliated with the Scholars Strategy Network, an at large officer for Society for Human Ecology, and a council member for the Sociology of Development Section of the American Sociological Association. In early 2016, he will be a Distinguished Scholar-Lecturer at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center in Annapolis, Maryland.
Professor Jorgenson is the founding co-editor of Sociology of Development, a new journal published by University of California Press. He is a consulting editor for the American Journal of Sociology, he serves on the editorial boards for Sociological Forum, International Journal of Comparative Sociology, Nature + Culture, Human Ecology Review, and Critical Sociology, and he is a member of the foundation editorial board for Environmental Sociology.

L'article commence par résumer les approches sociologiques portant sur (1) l'échange écologiquement inégal, et (2) la dépendance à l'investissement étranger et le déplacement de la charge environnementale. Ces domaines d'enquête sociologique consistent en des théories structurelles et des analyses statistiques transnationales que les hypothèses de test dérivées des deux approches. Il conclut en décrivant brièvement la recherche sociologique sur la société civile mondiale et de l'environnement, en mettant l'accent sur l'approche de la société mondiale aux changements environnementaux. Ce domaine de la théorie et de la recherche donne un aperçu sur la manière dont les groupes de la société civile mondiale et transnationales, telles que les organisations non gouvernementales internationales sur l'environnement, peuvent partiellement atténuer les dommages environnementaux causés par des échanges écologiquement inégaux et les déplacements de charge de l'environnement.
Este artículo resume para empezar los enfoques sociológicos sobre el comercio ecológicamente desigual, la dependencia de la inversión extranjera y el desplazamiento de las cargas ambientales. Combinamos, en estas áreas de análisis sociológico, la teorías estructurales con los análsis estadísticos internacionales para así comprobar hipótesis que se derivan de ambos enfoques. El artículo concluye con una breve descripción de la investigación sociológica sobre la sociedad civil global y el ambiente, poniendo atención en las relaciones entre la sociedad mundial y el cambio ambiental: ésta es un área teórica y de investigación que arroja luz sobre las maneras con que los grupos de la sociedad civil globales y transnacionales, como las ONG ambientalistas internacionales, pueden mitigar en parte los daños causados por los intercambios ecológicamente desiguales y los desplazamiento de las cargas ambientales.
national-level militarism and consumption-based carbon
dioxide emissions. We analyze panel data from 1990 to
2010 for 81 nations to determine whether the magnitude of
the effects of (1) military expenditures as percent of total
gross domestic product and (2) military personnel as percent
of total labor force on carbon emissions change over
time. Results of two-way fixed effects models highlight the
temporal stability of the environmental impacts of both
national-level military characteristics. The findings also
reveal that the effect of military expenditures on emissions
is larger in the more developed OECD nations than in the
developing non-OECD nations. Overall, the results support
the treadmill of destruction perspective, which suggests
that the nations’ militaries are an important social institution
to consider in sustainability science research on the
human drivers of global environmental change.
