Hi all,
My point was not that there is no work on any of these issue areas.
Very sorry if I suggested otherwise. You cite excellent work indeed!
My comment was about the political science subfield of American
politics. If there are places where lots of doctoral students in
PoliSci American politics doctoral programs are working on these
issues, I would be very happy to know more about them.
In fact, it was sociology (and anthropology & geography) that I had in
mind when I suggested that non-PoliSci social science fields might
have more such work – as related to issues, processes, actors and
institutions in American politics -- and thus produce a richer
applicant pool of assistant professor applicants than would a strictly
PoliSci, discipline-specific search.

Hi,
If I may, I'd like to mention the excellent work done by environmental
sociologists looking at corporate influence in US environmental
politics, especially the work of Robert Brulle, Riley Dunlap, Aaron
McCright, Justin Farrell and their colleagues on corporate foundations
and think tanks promoting climtae change denial, Ryan Wishart on coal
companies, Peter Dauvergne on "the environmentalism of the rich",
Charles Derber on corporate influence on the discourse of
sustainability, Eric Bonds and Liam Downey on corporate influence on
environmental policy, Sheldon Kamieniecki has two books on the topic,
etc. etc.
There's also an amazing interdisciplinary partnership project in
Canada that looks specifically at the influence of the oil industry in
Canadian politics, including intercorporate networks, think tanks,
lobbying, cultural influence, etc. (which I have the privilege to be a
part of, see www.corporatemapping.ca
<http://www.corporatemapping.ca>). It would be important I think that
someone starts a similar project in the US.
On race, class and environmental politics, I'd suggest work by Kari
Norgaard, Shannon Bell, Robert Bullard, Julian Agyeman, David Pellow,
etc. I must admit I'm a bit surprised that these questions have come
up on this listserv, given the wealth of literature on these topics,
but perhaps it was intended more specifically and I'm not
understanding well.

Hi all,
So this may reveal some of my biases where a lot of American
politics scholarship is concerned... but I find that there is
also a dearth of work connecting environment & sustainability to
race and and class issues and concerns in American politics.
In short - to Michele, Tabitha and others - what may be needed if
political science can’t rise to these challenges is to more
explicitly open such searches up to social science disciplines
where such concerns are more consistently at the center of inquiry.

Great point! We recently had two failed searches for an

fantastic scholar, but the pool was extremely limited otherwise.

Hi,
We’re hoping to hire in the area of American politics and
environment in the next year or so and I’ve been struck by how
few people are working in this space. There is a lot of work
on US environmental policy but as far as I can tell not much
that connects some traditional issues in American politics
with the environmental issue domain.

Many thanks to all who replied to my inquiry (David,
Johnathan, Leah, Tabitha, and others off-list!). This is a
very helpful listserv.
After skimming and sometimes reading carefully all the
suggested work, I am struck by how little attention is given
to the roles of campaign finance and corporate lobbying in
environmental decisionmaking and outcomes. Given the outsized
role of wealthy campaign contributors to the contemporary
American political process, I wonder if I just missed it, or
maybe there is a free-standing article on this somewhere?
Thank you again!

I was going to recommend the exact same chapter from the Vig
and Kraft book. In fact, the first three chapters really do
it all in terms of introducing students to the politics side.
And the most recent edition is just as good - although it was
written just before the US election and they clearly thought
Hilary was going to win (as we all did).
Best,
Tabitha

Hi Debra,
This probably won't give you everything your students
need--especially as regards the more expressly "political"
dimensions--but chapter 1 in Vig and Kraft, /Environmental
Policy: New Directions for the 21st Century/, might be
useful. (Full disclosure: that's based on the 6th edition; I
haven't seen the latest).
Best,
Jonathan

Hello,
I am increasingly encountering students from other
disciplines (engineering, architecture, biology, theology,
etc.) who have no exposure to politics or political
science. I am searching for an article that I can assign
in Intro to Sustainability that would give them some basic
information on the role of lobbying, campaign finance,
legislation, regulatory bodies, taxation, and other
dimensions of politics in promoting or obstructing action
on environmental concerns.
Is there a single “go to” article or book chapter that
essentially explains how politics works (and applies
specifically to environmental issues)? If not, are there
a few that could be combined? The course is not an
environmental politics course, so I don’t have the luxury
of assigning as much writing on politics as I’d like. The
assignment needs to be appropriate for an intro course and
assume no knowledge, because wow, they are shockingly
innocent.
Best regards,
Debra
