Implikacje teorii praktyk społecznych, perspektywy wielopoziomowej i podejścia behawioralnego dla badań użytecznych w polityce klimatycznej
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
Contemporary political and scientific discourse on climate policy is greatly dominated by the natural sciences, technical sciences and neoclassic economics, and to a lesser degree by psychological behavioural insights. It leads to a significant cognitive gap which more sociological approaches try to fill, e.g., practice theory and the multi-level perspective. In this article, I present the basic assumptions of practice theory, the multi-level perspective and behavioural insights, as well as a way to use these perspectives in parallel in research on climate policy. Moreover, I propose a number of examples of empirical studies from these approaches and indicate potential directions for future research.
