Risk society and ecological modernization scholars advance a concept of reflexive political economy, arguing that capitalism will transition from a dirty, industrial stage to a green, eco-friendly stage. In contrast, critical political economy scholars suggest that the core imperatives of capitalist accumulation are fundamentally unsustainable. We conduct a content analysis of 136 journal articles to assess how these frameworks have been implemented in empirical studies. Our analysis provides important commentary about the mechanisms, agents, magnitude, scale, temporality, and outcomes these frameworks analyze and employ, and the development of a hybrid perspective that borrows from both these perspectives. In addition, we reflect on how and why reflexive political economy has not answered key challenges leveled in the early 21st century, mainly the disconnect between greening values and the ongoing coupling of economic growth and environmental destruction. We also reflect on the significance of critical political economy, as the only framework we study that provides analysis of the roots of ecological crisis. Finally, we comment on the emergent hybrid perspective as a framework that attempts to reconcile new socioecological configurations in an era of increasing environmental instability. }, number={2}, journal={SOCIAL CURRENTS}, author={Clark, Timothy P. and Smolski, Andrew R. and Allen, Jason S. and Hedlund, John and Sanchez, Heather}, year={2022}, month={Apr}, pages={159–179} } @article{sanchez_2021, title={Fractured Communities: Risk, Impacts, and Protest Against Hydraulic Fracking in US Shale Regions}, volume={86}, ISSN={["1549-0831"]}, DOI={10.1111/ruso.12395}, abstractNote={Rural SociologyVolume 86, Issue 2 p. 387-389 Book Review Fractured Communities: Risk, Impacts, and Protest Against Hydraulic Fracking in U.S. Shale Regions, edited by Anthony E.

While scholars have highlighted the widespread success of this frame, little attention has been paid to instances where the environmental justice frame fails to resonate. Drawing from social movements and environmental justice literatures, we examine how local discursive and cultural contexts can pose barriers to environmental justice claims. Our case is based on legacy pollution from a decommissioned creosote facility in Southern Mississippi. When black residents discovered the pollution in their neighborhood, they made repeated appeals to authorities for remediation and compensation. After being denied inclusion in a lawsuit filed by white residents, they formed an environmental justice organization to mobilize support for their campaign. Findings reveal the importance of both historical contextualization and the social situation of frame deployers in analyses of the environmental justice frame.}, number={3}, journal={SOCIETY & NATURAL RESOURCES}, author={Sanchez, Heather K. and Adams, Alison E. and Shriver, Thomas E.}, year={2017}, pages={347–361} }
