Environmental Authority: Transformations and Relocations in Global Modernity
As a public good, the environment has traditionally been handled by public authorities. However, withglobalization conventional state environmental authority is transformed, relocated and deterritorialized.New non-state environmental authorities emerge. This paper conceptualizes the shifts in and relocation ofenvironmental authority structures and illustrates this with examples from the fields of certification andlabeling and environmental partnerships. While relocation does take place, new environmental authoritystructures are often mixes of state and non-state authorities. The paper finally assesses these developments,reflecting on the conventional criticism of the poor environmental and democratic potentials ofsuch new non-state environmental authorities.
