Papers in Progress:
“Contentious Politics as Complex Network Processes: Environmental Protest in Japan.” (Under
review at Working Papers series, American Journal of Cultural Sociology)
Jeff Broadbent and John Sonnett, “Fault Lines in Global Mitigation Discourse: A Multinational
Composite.” To be submitted along with multiple national case studies to the journal
Climatic Change to reach a wide interdisciplinary audience. We plan to submit this set of
articles to the journal in March 2013.
Edited set of papers by the research teams in the project on Comparing Climate Change Policy
Networks (Compon. The PI Broadbent is currently editing the papers from eighteen cases,
along with an Introduction and the preceding “Fault Lines. . .” paper, to be submitted to the
journal Climatic Change for a special issue. These papers analyze the data of the Compon
project on newspaper coverage and framing of global climate change and national mitigation
of greenhouse gas emissions. The papers, all by local academic teams, include the cases of
Canada, the US, Mexico, Brazil, UK, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Portugal,
India, New Zealand, Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan, Indonesia and Vietnam. The
editors of the journal Climatic Change have agreed to consider the whole set of papers for a
special issue. We plan to submit this set of papers to the journal in November 2012.
Jeffrey Broadbent. “Entangled Networks: Complex Power Formations in US, German &
Japanese Politics.” This paper compares three policy networks in the three countries,
highlights the comparisons and draws out the theoretical implications for state-society power
relations and policy formation processes.
Jeffrey Broadbent, Our Common Addiction: Fossil Fuel Civilization and its Transformation
under Climate Change Pressure. Book project. The book will compare the response of
different societies to the call for mitigating their greenhouse gas emissions, seeking through
that comparison to identify the fundamental factors hampering a more effective national and
global response. The study includes societies exhibiting different levels of success and
failure in mitigation as well as different background societal and ecological conditions that
affect those responses. This book will be based on the empirical data and findings from the
eighteen case studies being conducted in the Compon project The book project has been
solicited by by the ASA Rose Monograph series as one of its projects, with intention to be
published with the Russell Sage Press. I hope to submit this book in 2013.
“Culture and Authoritarian Logic: Regime Response to Environmental Activism in Japan,
Taiwan, South Korea, and China” with Jun Jin (Tsing Hua University), Yu-Ju Chien and
