Dear colleagues,
please find below a Call for Papers for a panel proposal at next year's ISA Annual Convention, New Orleans. We are looking forward to your abstracts! Best, Andrea, Linda and Katharina *** Scales and Scopes of Climate Justice Practices Climate change is usually referred to as the prime example of a global challenge. In the past decade - steering the debate away from technological framings - scholars from IR and Political Theory have considered both mitigation and adaptation challenges that come with it as justice concerns. Normative contributions elaborate that questions of climate justice can be raised at the international level, between different countries, at the societal level between different groups or even between todays and future generations. However, climate justice has varying meanings for different actors. Yet, systematic empirical evidence on how these normative claims materialize and how they take shape in interaction with competing demands in other areas is still lacking. Therefore, it is important to understand their empirical base, influence, and instrumentalization to challenge or strengthen existing power relations. In this panel we seek to explore, analyze and discuss the empirical side of climate justice: Which actors engage in the justice discourse and at which level? How does the agenda of these advocates materialize in political practices, symbols and performances? What is their approach to climate justice, e.g. human rights or spiritual values? In which way do regional (or even local) approaches contribute to a global understanding of climate justice? We invite empirical papers that establish the link between normative understandings of climate justice practices and socio-ecological, economic and political responses to climate change in different world regions, across political levels and spaces.
