One of the most heartening developments in climate change mitigation in recent years has been the increasing attention paid to the principle of 'thinking globally and acting locally'. The failure of the international community to reach significant global agreements on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has led local governments, environmental organisations and citizens themselves to focus increasingly on the local possibilities for action on climate change.
This book analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the co-production of climate policies that take place where citizen engagement and local initiatives converge with public agencies. Case studies from Northern Europe, Australia/New Zealand and the USA reveal that traditional individualist approaches to promoting environmental behaviour epitomised by information campaigns and economic incentives cannot trigger the deep behavioural changes required to materially improve our response to climate change. Only by marshalling the forces of thousands, and eventually millions of citizens, can we manage to reach environmental sceptics, reinforce political action and create the new social norms that are sorely needed in our local, and global, response to climate change.
This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in climate change politics and governance, community engagement and sustainable development.

Описание: Each society has its own ways of integrating members into its community, and in times of rapid social change these methods for asserting and continuing communities change their form and meaning. Current society has spawned new devicessuch as encounter groups and self-realization techniquesdesigned to exalt community purely in terms of interpersonal relations. The contributors to this volume study this phenomenon from a cross-disciplinary point of view, drawing on the fields of anthropology, psychology, social psychology, sociology, and history. Their approach enables us to evaluate the new groups and techniques in comparison with other phenomena in the society and with rituals in other societies and times, clearly placing them in the history of ideas. The articles also provide us with a clearer understanding of the particular techniques used.

The failure of recent international negotiations to progress global action on climate change has shifted attention to the emergence of grassroots sustainability initiatives. These civil society networks display the potential to implement social innovation and change processes from the 'bottom up'. Recent scholarship has sought to theorise grassroots community-based low carbon practices in terms of their sustainability transition potential. However there are few empirical examples that demonstrate the factors for success of community-based social innovations in achieving more widespread adoption outside of their local, sustainability 'niche'.
The book seeks to address two significant gaps related to grassroots climate action: firstly the continuing dominance of the individualisation of responsibility for climate change action which presupposes that individuals hold both the ability and desire to shift their behaviours and lifestyle choices to align with a low carbon future. Secondly, the potential for community-based collectives to influence mainstream climate change governance, an area significantly under researched. Drawing on empirical research into Australian Climate Action Groups (CAGs) and related international research, the book argues that grassroots community-based collective action on climate change holds the key to broader social change.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, citizen participation, environmental sociology and sustainable development.
Memoirs of a Change Agent is the most comprehensive book ever written to illustrate Organization Development (OD). It includes significant interventions in manufacturing, nuclear industry, software and community development. The author takes one into the nitty-gritty of his successful interventions.
Beyond the amazing interventions, Crosby shares mostly unknown information about the beginning of Organization Development and integrates social justice with it as was the case in the birth of the T-group and the Organization Development movement.
"Our turnaround was valued at hundreds of millions of dollars...the underlying most significant change was a human intervention (goal alignment, survey feedback and Crosby's Skill Groups)." -George Bergeron Executive Vice President, Alcoa (Retired)
"Crosby's account of the use of the T-group and Kurt Lewin's social psychology is a must read for practitioners and academics." -Edgar H. Schein, Professor Emeritus, MIT
"At last, a book that integrates the myriad threads of humanity, OD, T-groups, and social justice, threads often seen as unrelated." -Dr. Gloria J. Burgess, CEO & President, Jazz International
"Robert Crosby's knowledge of the importance and application of T-groups is unsurpassed." -Dr. W.Warner Burke, Columbia, University
"How does significant change come about? Read this book and marvel, as I did, with how change is accomplished." -Dr. Rodney D. Coates, Miami University
"A gift to OD practitioners. He whispers at your shoulder: Here's what to expect, how to handle it, and the underlying principle." -Barry Oshry, Developer of the Power Lab
"An exquisite text lovingly imagined for the next generation, this tour de force should be required for aspiring applied social psychologists." -Dr. Richard A. Schmuck, University of Oregon
