个人简介
I am a Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at UC Berkeley. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University, and was a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. I have written three books, Waste Trading Among Rich Nations: Building a New Theory of Environmental Regulation (MIT Press, 2000) The Environment and International Relations (Cambridge University Press 2009, 2nd edition 2017), and Waste (Polity Press 2019).
My most recent book, Waste, was published by Polity Press in Summer 2019. This book is about waste as a globalized resource, though one that comes with magnified risks and governance challenges. It includes cases on China and the global plastic scrap trade, waste work and labor in the global economy, the global political economy of electronic wastes and food waste, and the global circular economy. It was featured on National Public Radio's Fresh Air on September 12, 2019. I have also been interviewed on other local, national, international media outlets, including NPR’s Here and Now and Marketplace, The Economist, and Al Jazeera International.
My second book, The Environment and International Relations sets out a framework to understand the complex political dynamics of global environmental governance, examining actors, norms and ideas, changing balances of power and new challenges and opportunities in this critical area of global politics. Waste Trading Among Rich Nations examines the comparative politics of the legal hazardous waste trade among OECD countries, asking why some countries take on more such risk than others, focusing on state-society relations and how they are shaped by regulatory institutions.
I have several current research projects that follow on from Waste. First, Dr. Alastair Iles and I are writing about the different ways the “Right to Repair” movement manifests itself worldwide. Second, I am writing on global governance of wastes and plastics, including how differences between “waste” and “scrap” might be adjudicated at the global level even as the impacts of China’s Operation National Sword continue to reverberate across recycling markets, big and small. Third, connecting waste and climate change, and following direct experience with the impacts and aftermath of mega-fires in California and my home country, Australia, I want to write more about disaster waste from a policy and governance perspective. Also, from a theoretical orientation, to understand its place in the context of the toxic impacts of a capitalist carbon-based economy. In my lab, we are working with local partners on a project to identify and measure the impacts of the City of Berkeley’s Single Use Disposable Food Ware and Litter Prevention Ordnance (2019). As part of my work as a member of the campus sustainability and Zero Waste community, I co-chair the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability.
