Creating the New Ecological Order? Elias and Actor-Network Theory
批判当前组织“绿化”研究中的生态中心论,质疑“自然”的含义,提出“相互依赖网络”视角,为绿色组织、绿色技术和全球化问题提供替代理论依据。
This article provides a critique of current work on the ‘greening ’ of organizations, especially that drawing on ‘ecocentric ’ argument. It questions the meaning of ‘nature ’ and uses studies of the sociology of order and networks to debate the assumptions of current green discourse and its normative rationales. The article advances an ‘interdependency network ’ perspective, applying it to the greening of organizations, green technologies and issues of globalization. It argues that this perspective offers an alternative theoretical rationale and a potential basis for future research.
