Bound by chains of carbon : ecological–economic geographies of globalization

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This article analyses the ecological–economic geographies of globalization in order to demonstrate how regions could be connected with seemingly distant carbon emissions. It shows that emissions from emerging economies such as China might also be regarded as far more implicated in the supply chains that satisfy the demands of European and American consumers than has been recognized. It thus explores challenges of engaging productively with pluralism not only in qualitative approaches but in quantitative research as well. An understanding of the geography of carbon emissions that is adequate to an era of globalization will require theoretical subtlety as much as additional empirical research.
