Description of the research topic:
According to socio-ecological economics, there is a need for socioeconomic transformation in order to make a move toward environmentally sustainable and socially just economic and social processes. The reason is that the e.g. incremental “greening” and correction of the present economic institutions and processes might not be enough for a transition to sustainable and just socio-economic order.
Within present research topic doctoral students have the opportunity examine the nature of socioeconomic transitions which are necessary for local level sustainability and social justice. Analysis and evaluation of present local transition initiatives (processes) aimed at local sustainability and/or social justice are also welcome.
The topic provides a broad room regarding research design. It allows for both quantitative, qualitative and case study methodology and even alternative approaches like participatory action research (PAR).
