What is activism? The answer is, typically, that it is a form of
opposition, often expressed on the streets. Skoglund and Boehm
argue differently. They identify forms of 'insider activism' within
corporations, state agencies and villages, showing how people seek
to transform society by working within the system, rather than
outright opposing it. Using extensive empirical data, Skoglund and
Boehm analyze the transformation of climate activism in a rapidly
changing political landscape, arguing that it is time to think
beyond the tensions between activism and enterprise. They trace the
everyday renewable energy actions of a growing 'epistemic
community' of climate activists who are dispersed across
organizational boundaries and domains. This book is testament to a
new way of understanding activism as an organizational force that
brings about the transition towards sustainability across business
and society and is of interest to social science scholars of
business, renewable energy and sustainable development.
