Call for Papers
ESRC Seminar 'Environmental Sustainability in Non-Western Contexts: An Interdisciplinary Event' Wednesday 30th March 2011, Salford Business School, University of Salford, Manchester UK Environmental sustainability is a significant and increasingly important global issue. Developing/non-western regions of the world are often blamed for environmental damage, due to a lack of environmental management and regulation. As such, developing/non-western countries are considered responsible for achieving environmental sustainability. However, discourses and understandings of environmental sustainability- what it is, how it can be achieved and those who are responsible for implementing it- remain to adhere to Western definitions, based upon Western experiences. This one-day seminar therefore seeks to bring together papers that examine environmental sustainability, management and regulation, in Non-Western contests, encouraging academics from across a range disciplines. We would like to invite papers that examine the following themes, but not restricted to: · environmental sustainability · environmental management · environmental regulation and legislation · corporate citizenship · discourses of responsibility · corporate social responsibility · civil society and the third sector · NGO's/CSO's/non-profit sector organisations · Climate change All in non-western contexts. If you are interested in participating in this one-day event, please send a copy of your abstract (250 words max) to Sarah Marie Hall (s.m.h...@salford.ac.uk <mailto:s.m.h...@salford.ac.uk> ) by 31st January 2011. Please contact me with any questions or queries you may have.
