This work brings together emerging perspectives from organization theory and management, environmental sociology, international regime studies, and the social studies of science and technology to provide a starting point for discipline-based studies of environmental policy and corporate environmental behaviour. The text has a theoretical and empirical focus, designed for a two-fold audience - organizational scholars working within the institutional tradition, and environmental scholars interested in management and policy. Together this mix should form a creative synthesis for both sets of readers, analyzing how environmental policy and organizational practices are shaped, spread and contested.
