“…These traditions are largely separate, though recent work suggests the utility of their synthesis (Shorette 2012). Political economic work, specifically related to unequal exchange, highlights the importance of qualitative differences between processes of production and effects of international economic relationships based on a country's relative location within the world-system.…”

“…A growing body of work finds national embeddedness into networks of global institutions to be consequential for practical environmental outcomes including greenhouse gas emissions (Schofer and Hironaka 2005), agrochemical use (Shorette 2012), biodiversity loss (Shandra et al 2009), and concern for environmental issues (Jorgenson and Givens 2014), for example. In the first of these studies, Schofer and Hironaka (2005) …”

“…For example, numerous studies have analyzed the spread of environmental policies in the context of declining state autonomy and the emergence of global markets (e.g., Schofer and Granados 2006). In particular, studies in world-polity have focused on the ways states gradually adopt environmentally responsible policies as they seek to appear legitimate in international arenas (Shorette 2012;Schofer and Hironaka 2005). Even though recent studies in this vein have also examined the nation-level factors that facilitate the adoption of such policies (Longhofer and Schofer 2010), the world-polity approach largely emphasizes the top-down diffusion of environmental values without attributing much significance to state-level conceptions of the nation and its role in protecting the environment.…”

Love of Land: Nature Protection, Nationalism, and the Struggle over the Establishment of New Communities in Israel

Although there is burgeoning research on environmental activism, few studies have examined the interrelationship between nationalism and nature protection in detail. This paper examines how groups manage the tension between national commitment and caring for the environment. It focuses on two opposing Israeli activist groups: a settler movement that aims to establish new communities in the fast-dwindling Israeli open expanses, and a "green" movement intent on preserving open spaces. Our observations, interviews, and textual analysis show that both groups believe themselves to be committed to the protection of nature, and that both groups see environmental responsibility as an integral aspect of their Zionist identity. However, the Israeli green movement sees abstaining from interventions in nature and adhering to sustainable development as Zionist because it preserves Israel for future generations. Conversely, the settler movement sees active intervention in nature-by building new communities, planting trees, andhiking-as the proper way to protect Israeli natural expanses and to maintain the livelihood of Israeli society. Our case demonstrates that, although environmental movements often aspire to universalism, local movements also interlace environmentalism and nationalism in ways that generate multiple (and even contradictory) interpretations of the appropriate way to care for nature.

“…Each interaction term will indicate the effect of state spending and governance on forest loss. I construct the interaction terms by centering the moderator variables (i.e., governance) around their means (Shandra ; Shorette ). I then multiply the centered version of the moderator variable by the focal variable (i.e., state spending) (Jaccard ; Shandra ).…”

State Spending and Governance: A Cross‐National Analysis of Forest Loss in Developing Nations*

Conservationists and academics have long investigated the factors that impact forest loss in low-and middle-income nations. Characteristics of the state, namely state spending, may impact forest loss in low-and middle-income nations, although this relationship has been understudied and the limited research that exists has yielded contradictory results. I begin by reevaluating the relationship between state spending and forest loss using robust regression models for a sample of 97 low-and middle-income nations. Initially, in line with extant literature, I find no support for the idea that state spending is related to forest loss. However, I respecify the models to consider if state spending interacts with governance factors including political stability, control of corruption, rule of law, government effectiveness, and regulatory quality. Governance is defined as the state's ability to formulate, implement, and manage the nation's funds, policies, and procedures effectively. I find that state spending reduces forest loss more in nations with higher levels of governance than at lower levels of governance.
