"Conceptualizing the Environment - A Comparative Study of How Poverty-Environment Linkages are Defined in International Development Cooperation" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the ISA - ABRI JOINT INTERNATIONAL MEETING, Pontifical Catholic University, Rio de Janeiro Campus (PUC-Rio), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Jul 22, 2009 <Not Available>. 2009-11-22 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p381488_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: At the policy level, most actors within the field of international development cooperation have explicit and well-developed environmental goals for all their contributions. Yet, while the environment is generally taken well into account at the policy level, there is often a lack of guidelines and strategies when it comes to implementing the policy. This paper shows that this lack of efficient integration of the environment can be ascribed to shortcomings when it comes to defining how environmental mainstreaming contributes to poverty reduction. Definitional mismatches when it comes to defining poverty-environment linkages in fact hamper effective implementation and concerted effort in the development cooperation community at large. The empirical investigation is based on a comparative study of a number of large donors and multilateral organizations, which investigates how poverty-environment linkages are defined at various levels and stages of international development cooperation. In theory, the environment and its relationship to poverty reduction can be conceptualized in a number of different ways: as a security issue, exclusively as a climate issue, as resilience issue etc. After developing the different ways in which the environment can be conceptualized theoretically, this paper analyzes central policy documents from bilateral and multilateral donors. This investigation is in turn complemented by interviews with staff at different levels in bilateral donor organizations, with representatives from multilateral organizations, and with officials from partner countries. |

Abstract: Despite facing similar environmental threats, environmental conservation efforts in Taiwan, Japan, and China vary greatly. In my paper, I argue that this is best explained by examining differences in institutional structure and domestic politics. |

"The Draw-An-Environment Test Rubric (DAET-R): Exploring Mental Models on the Environment" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the North American Association For Environmental Education, Century II Convention Center, Wichita, Kansas, Oct 15, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-22 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p269237_index.html>Publication Type: Formal Presentation
Abstract: This presentation will discuss the development of the Draw an Environment Test and Rubric (DAET-R) for assessing the mental models or images of preservice teachers by scoring drawings of the environment. It will also provide results of preliminary research using the DAET-R to assess preservice teachers’ beliefs about the environment, as interpreted from their drawings. |
