“…They depoliticize issues in need of critical public attention and debate and form a general context for the academic lacunae and silences. For this reason, neo-Gramscian scholarship conceives of media as part of a networked civil society that to a significant extent helps secure public support for hegemonic agendas and arrangements (Ford & Newell, 2021). Critical scholarship highlights the deep influence of contemporary commercial media on perceptions and their profound societal consequences (Carvalho et al, 2017;Gavin, 2018), backed by political economic analyses of media systems and associated technologies (Anderson, 2009;Gramsci, 2000;Hall, 2005;Herman & Chomsky, 2010;Lahsen, 2020;MacLeod, 2019;McChesney, 2007;Slaughter, 2021).…”

Media Reform as Transformation Tool: A Hegemonic Gap in Environmental Research and Policy

Sustainability researchers are writing much about levers for transformations towards sustainability but too little about the most powerful means available for obstructing and activating them: mass-reaching media systems. How media systems are structured and governed form a profoundly important meta-level layer of decision-making that ought to be central in the study of environmental politics and in environmental policymaking. A politics- and media-focused account of the rise of Jair Bolsonaro to the presidency of Brazil illustrates the essential role of media systems and the need for new principles, structures, and policies for their governance if the interlinked goals of democracy, equity, and environmental protection are to be achieved. The pervasive inattention to this in environmental research reinforces hegemonic forces and needs to be widely discussed, understood, and overcome to achieve much needed just transformations towards sustainability.

“…Think tanks often bring together multisectoral business leaders, policy actors and other intellectuals, who work to construct a mutuality of interests around certain causes and projects, while mobilizing narratives and policy proposals through them (Carroll & Carson, 2003; Sapinski, 2015). They are vital to what Gramsci called a “war of position”—an ongoing process of social contestation in which different groups coordinate resources and capacities to win allies and gain influence (Ford & Newell, 2021).…”

Think tanks and climate obstruction: Atlas affiliates in Canada

This paper provides a longitudinal social network and content analysis of Canadian think tanks affiliated with the Atlas network, analyzing their efforts to obstruct climate action over the last two decades. Network analysis reveals extensive and deepening board interlocks and joint memberships between these think tanks and the fossil fuel industry, other policy‐planning organizations within and beyond Canada, and academic institutions. Consistent with and rooted in network ties, Atlas members produce a large and growing volume of climate‐related content, including content that denies the reality and impacts of climate change, promotes and defends the fossil fuel sector, and opposes climate policy and action. Atlas affiliates are argued to be at the core of a reactionary segment of Canada's elite policy‐planning network opposed to virtually all forms of climate action, while the frames and campaigns they deploy are seen as a force obstructing progress on climate change.

Energy transition in the European Union - institutional and legal factors

The subject of the research problem addressed in the article concerns the importance of institutional and legal (or, more broadly, political) factors of energy transition in the European Union. Following Aleh Cherp and his team, political factors are understood as state objectives, political interests and institutional capabilities and factors of other types. All of them, as a whole, enter into a relationship with other factors, such as socio-technical and techno-economic ones. Referring to F. W. Geels, the European Union can be defined as a kind of socio-technical regime (energy regime), responsive to internal or external threats or adverse events. The main purpose of the analysis is to present the relationship between the institutional and legal, socio-technical, and techno-economic factors. In order to specify the research problem, the research question has been posed of the extent to which institutional and legal factors affect energy transition in the European Union. To answer this question, the analysis relies on the theoretical aspects of energy transition studies, the institutional and legal approach and secondary statistical data.
