- Title
CREATING THE NEW ECOLOGICAL ORDER? ELIAS AND ACTOR-NETWORK THEORY.
- Authors
Newton, Tim J.
- Abstract
This article provides a critique of current work on the "greening" of organizations, especially work based on "ecocentric" argument. I question the meaning of "nature" and use studies of the sociology of order and networks to debate the assumptions of current "green" discourse and its normative rationales. I advance an interdependency network perspective, applying it to the greening of organizations, green technologies, and issues of globalization, and I argue that this perspective offers an alternative theoretical rationale and a potential basis for future research.
