Dear GEPers, I would like to put together a panel on efforts at political and institutional reform in urban settings as these relate to global environmental problems. This could include local struggles/innovations with alternative energy, active transportation, food systems, water management, biodiversity, or other issues.
I am particularly eager to learn what theoretical perspectives might be paired with empirical work to help us better understand the politics of urban change and to make meaningful comparisons across political units and across environmental issues. Most environmental research on "the local" has emphasized local commons in rural settings. How about cities? Regime theory has surely run its course within urban studies. Are there promising theoretical approaches in fields like cultural geography, sociology, or in various corners of political science and policy theory, such as federalism and multilevel governance? If interested please email me as soon as possible so that we can put together a panel in time for the June 1 deadline. With best wishes, Paul -- Paul F.
