Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes an important facet in international environmental governance: the development and implementation of Chile’s national forestry strategy. As a national program designed to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and to enhance the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests, and forest carbon stocks (i.e., a national REDD+ program), Chile’s national forestry strategy demonstrates the norm diffusion and institutional structuration commonly exhibited in world polity approaches to global and transnational sociology. Yet, world-system analysis of Chile’s forest conservation program highlights the role of power and positionality along the global division of labor in its implementation. The organized hypocrisy of the Chilean state leads to means-ends decoupling in which the practices of the global institutional order are faithfully executed but have an opaque relationship to climate governance goals. This paper, then, joins a growing scholarship that combines these divergent approaches to highlight advances in environmental governance born from connection to the global institutional order of environmentalism while simultaneously explaining structural issues that hinder efforts to achieve global climate targets.
结合世界体系和世界政治方法分析国际环境治理:以智利森林治理为例
本文分析了国际环境治理的一个重要方面:智利国家林业战略的制定和实施。智利的国家林业战略是一个旨在减少森林砍伐和森林退化造成的排放,并加强森林保护、可持续管理和森林碳储量的作用的国家计划(即国家REDD+计划),它展示了在全球和跨国社会学的世界政治方法中常见的规范扩散和制度结构。然而,对智利森林保护计划的世界体系分析强调了权力和地位在其实施过程中的全球分工的作用。智利政府有组织的伪善导致了手段与目的的脱钩,在这种情况下,全球制度秩序的实践得到了忠实的执行,但与气候治理目标之间的关系却不透明。因此,本文加入了一个不断增长的学术研究,将这些不同的方法结合起来,突出环境治理的进步,这些进步源于与环保主义的全球制度秩序的联系,同时解释了阻碍实现全球气候目标的结构性问题。

期刊介绍: Environmental Sociology is dedicated to applying and advancing the sociological imagination in relation to a wide variety of environmental challenges, controversies and issues, at every level from the global to local, from ‘world culture’ to diverse local perspectives. As an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal, Environmental Sociology aims to stretch the conceptual and theoretical boundaries of both environmental and mainstream sociology, to highlight the relevance of sociological research for environmental policy and management, to disseminate the results of sociological research, and to engage in productive dialogue and debate with other disciplines in the social, natural and ecological sciences. Contributions may utilize a variety of theoretical orientations including, but not restricted to: critical theory, cultural sociology, ecofeminism, ecological modernization, environmental justice, organizational sociology, political ecology, political economy, post-colonial studies, risk theory, social psychology, science and technology studies, globalization, world-systems analysis, and so on. Cross- and transdisciplinary contributions are welcome where they demonstrate a novel attempt to understand social-ecological relationships in a manner that engages with the core concerns of sociology in social relationships, institutions, practices and processes. All methodological approaches in the environmental social sciences – qualitative, quantitative, integrative, spatial, policy analysis, etc. – are welcomed. Environmental Sociology welcomes high-quality submissions from scholars around the world.
