The contributors investigate how the large scale structures of
capitalism and the local social relations of workplaces and
organizations shape each other. They argue for a new integration of
political economy and the sociology of work and organizations.
This book introduces a new approach to environmental sociology, by
integrating complexity-informed social science, Marxian ecological
theory, and resilience-based human ecology. It argues that
sociologists have largely ignored developments in ecology which
move beyond functionalist approaches to systems analysis, and as a
result, environmental sociology has failed to capitalise not only
on the analytical promise of resilience ecology, but on
complementary developments in complexity theory. By tracing the
origins and discussing current developments in each of these areas,
it offers several paths to interdisciplinary dialogue. Eoin
Flaherty argues that complexity theory and Marxian ecology can
enhance our understanding of the social aspect of social-ecological
systems, whilst a resilience approach can sharpen the analytical
power of environmental sociology.
