Environmental Social Movements in Thailand: How Important is Class?
In: Asian journal of social science, Band 29, Heft 1, S. 35-51
ISSN: 2212-3857
AbstractThis paper argues that current academic approaches to environmentalism in developing countries understate the role of class in either dominating political alliances, or in constructing underlying environmental discourse. The paper uses examples of various social movements in Thailand to illustrate the diverse ways in which environmental activism may represent or support different political objectives. It is proposed that analysts need to pay more attention to the origin of much environmental discourse from new, or identity-based social movements both within Thailand and elsewhere, and to seek ways to understand the 'co-production' of social activism and environmental knowledge.
Flexible Mechanisms of Climate Technology Transfer
In: The journal of environment & development: a review of international policy, Band 8, Heft 3, S. 238-257
ISSN: 1552-5465
Despite the recent adoption of "flexible" mechanisms for climate change mitigation, such as emissions trading and joint implementation, there has been little attention to the use of flexibility specifically for international climate technology transfer. This article proposes new flexible mechanisms of technology transfer that allow Annex I countries (or those with quantified targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions) to achieve greenhouse gas abatement targets, and supply industrial environmental technology to developing countries. The article also discusses how such mechanisms may be used in conjunction with the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which was created under the Kyoto Protocol to promote climate-related investment in non–Annex I countries. It is argued that current approaches to technology transfer repel private investors by focusing too closely on long-term technology sharing rather than the potential benefits of the globalization of technology investment and ownership. However, simply subsidizing technology exports from Annex I countries may result only in damaging non–Annex I industries. It is, therefore, necessary to balance flexible mechanisms with strong national technological policies or governance by the CDM executive body.

Inconsistencies in U.S. GAAP: Accounting for Executory Contracts
In: Issues in accounting education, Band 21, Heft 3, S. 291-295
ISSN: 1558-7983
This instructional case provides four different scenarios that illustrate the inconsistent treatment of various executory contracts under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The purpose of the case is threefold. First, it provides students an opportunity to use the Financial Accounting Research System (FARS) to resolve several accounting issues related to long-term executory contracts. Familiarity with FARS is essential, both for "real-world" use when students enter the accounting profession and for success on the computerized CPA exam, which includes case research. Second, as the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) attempts to move toward principles-based standards (as opposed to rules-based standards), the case provides students an opportunity to observe that GAAP seems to be rules-based and theoretically inconsistent in the case of executory contracts. Third, the case can be used as a premise for discussing the standard-setting process and exploring differences between the economic substance of a transaction and its legal form.
Beyond technical fixes: climate solutions and the great derangement
Climate change research is at an impasse. The transformation of economies and everyday practices is more urgent, and yet appears ever more daunting as attempts at behaviour change, regulations, and global agreements confront material and social-political infrastructures that support the status quo. Effective action requires new ways of conceptualizing society, climate and environment and yet current research struggles to break free of established categories. In response, this contribution revisits important insights from the social sciences and humanities on the co-production of political economies, cultures, societies and biophysical relations and shows the possibilities for ontological pluralism to open up for new imaginations. Its intention is to help generate a different framing of socionatural change that goes beyond the current science-policy-behavioural change pathway. It puts forward several moments of inadvertent concealment in contemporary debates that stem directly from the way issues are framed and imagined in contemporary discourses. By placing values, normative commitments, and experiential and plural ways of knowing from around the world at the centre of climate knowledge, we confront climate change with contested politics and the everyday foundations of action rather than just data.
