The Influence of Global Ideas on Environmentalism and Human Rights questions the dominant narrative of World Society related research as a positive influence of global ideas on various outcomes. Hadler demonstrates the complexity of this issue through empirical analyses revealing mixed trends in attitudes and behaviors from around the world.
This book will be of interest to academics seeking to critically engage with World Society theory through two of its core topics: human rights and environmentalism.
Markus Hadler is Professor of Sociology at the University of Graz, Austria, and Honorary Professor at the Department of Sociology at Macquarie University, Australia. Hadler is also Austrian representative to the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP). His research interests lie in the areas of social inequality, political sociology, and environmental sociology.
Addresses the gap in literature engaging with linking global ideas and individual actions within the World Society paradigm
Applies cross-country and longitudinal multi-level analysis to public opinion data collected by the International Social Survey Programme and World Values Survey
Suggests that a strong national institutionalisation is an effective means for shaping environmental behaviour
