Conceptualizing norm fusion through environmental rights
(Routledge, 2021) Defne Gönenç; Gonenc, Defne
What happens when environmental protection is framed using human rights language? Here a new type of norm change–norm fusion–is conceptualized. Linking norms derived from different issue areas it is realized through continuous use of strategic frames obtained from various issues acceptance of the norm by society and action in accordance with the new norm. The fusion process is decentralized and dynamic does not proceed at the same speed everywhere and involves norm contestation. Norm fusion is discussed through the example of human rights and environmental norms. Environmental activists increasingly use a rights-based discourse environmental cases are brought before human rights tribunals and various international documents recognize the link between human rights and the environment. However due to problems in the implementation of environmental rights in a neoliberal economic framework and clashes between environmental and human rights norms fusion between environmental and human rights norms remains contested. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

Dayanıklılık Kavramına Alternatif olarak Çevresel Adalet: Hindistan Örneği
(2022) Elif Çetin; DEFNE GONENC; Çetin, Elif; Gonenc, Defne
Dayanıklılık kavramı iklim göçünü de içeren kalkınma tartışmalarının çeşitli alanlarında- çok da eleştirilmeden- giderek daha sık kullanılmaktadır. Fakat kavram genellikle göz ardı edilen birçok sorunu içermektedir: İçeriği değişken belirsiz ve şeffaf olmayan bir kavramdır. İklim değişikliğine uyum riskini ve sorumluluğunu devletten bireylerin omuzlarına yükler. Ayrıca mevcut adaletsizlikleri arttırır. Böylece kavram statükonun devamına yol açar ve sosyo-ekonomik ve çevresel sorunların yapısal nedenlerini görmezlikten gelir. Bu makale dayanıklılık kavramının çevresel sorunları çözmek için sınırlı bir kavram olduğunu ve bu sorunların dayanıklılık kavramından daha kapsayıcı ve adil bir sosyo-ekolojik mercek olan çevresel adalet kavramı ile ele alınıp çözülmesi gerektiğini savlamaktadır. Makalede Hindistan’daki iklim göçü örneği irdelenerek neden dayanıklılık kavramı yerine çevresel adalet kavramının kullanılmasının gerektiği tartışılmaktadır.
Ege Bölgesi’ndeki Çevreci Sivil Toplum Kuruluşları: Örgütsel Özellikler ve İlişkiler
(2022) Ozge Can; DEFNE GONENC; Can, Ozge; Gonenc, Defne
Hızlı sanayileşme çarpık kentleşme ve derinleşen neoliberalizm çevre tahribatını giderek hızlandırmakta bu tahribatı önlemek için farklı çevreci örgütlenmeler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Araştırmamızın amacı Ege Bölgesi’nde faaliyet gösteren çevreci sivil toplum kuruluşlarını kurumsal ve finansal özellikleri amaçları çevresel öncelikleri stratejik eylemleri ve ilişkileri açısından çok boyutlu biçimde incelemektir. Toplam 150 çevreci kuruluştan anket yöntemiyle veri toplanmış ve tanımlayıcı istatistiksel analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları incelenen çevreci örgütlerin hem çevre sorununa genel yaklaşımları hem de odaklandıkları çevresel meseleler açısından önemli bir çeşitliliğe sahip olduklarını göstermektedir. Öte yandan bu kuruluşların amaç faaliyet ve mücadele taktikleri karar verici aktörler üzerinde doğrudan etki yaratmak yerine bireyleri ve toplumu bilinçlendirmeye dönük daha edilgen bir nitelik taşımaktadır. Bir diğer önemli bulgu hem kaynak yetersizliği hem de ideolojik sebeplerle birçok çevreci örgütün bağlantı ve işbirliklerinin zayıf olmasıdır. Bu yetersizliklerin nedenleri yereldeki etkin mücadele örneklerinin ve ortaklıkların hangi koşullarda ve nasıl çoğaltılabileceği öne çıkan sorulardır.

The global economic system and access and allocation in earth system governance
(SPRINGER, 2020) Defne Gonenc; Dario Piselli; Yixian Sun; Piselli, Dario; Sun, Yixian; Gonenc, Defne
Ensuring sustainability of earth systems is intrinsically dependent on the incorporation of equity and fairness in the regimes and institutions that govern the global economy. Accordingly to design effective and just earth system governance (ESG) it is crucial to understand how the global economic system affects access to and allocation of environmental benefits and burdens among people and countries around the world and what are the relevant causal mechanisms. By focusing on trade and investment as two predominant elements of today's global economic system this paper reviews the literature developed within the ESG project in 2008-2017 to explore the relationships between the global economic system and access to and allocation of environmental benefits and burdens. Our review shows that ESG scholarship has begun to highlight the dynamics of unfair access and allocation deriving from the global economic system ranging from the direct impacts of trade and investment on environmental inequality and socioeconomic opportunities to the indirect equity implications of certification schemes environmental decision-making processes and environmentally motivated restrictions in international trade and investment regimes. However it also notes that critical questions about the identity of vulnerable groups and the potential pathways for more equitable sharing of benefits and burdens remain understudied by ESG scholars. Hence we call for more critical analysis of the role of the global economic system in perpetuating unsustainable patterns of access and allocation in ESG as well as research about the local impacts of the global economic system on environmental access and allocation.

The impact of cognitive filters on strategic actions and relationships: an analysis from local environmental advocacy in the Aegean Region Turkey
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Ozge Can; Defne Gönenç; Can, Ozge; Gonenc, Defne
Although several internal and external factors may influence environmental non-governmental organizations’ (ENGOs) action sets and networking behaviors their values and priorities deserve special attention. Existing research highlights the importance of mobilizing resources and utilizing political opportunities in environmental advocacy, however there is relative silence regarding the impact of how ENGOs cognitively position themselves in a contested field. Through a quantitative analysis of survey data from 117 local ENGOs in the Aegean Region of Turkey we examine whether and how organizational identity scope of environmental issues and core environmental purpose (transactional or informational) as three cognitive filters play a role in shaping grassroots ENGO activities and relationships with diverse actors. A set of regression models indicates that claiming an activist identity pursuing a higher number of environmental issues and having a confrontational goal significantly influences local ENGOs’ strategic actions and the type and intensity of their external ties. These findings contribute to the discussions around resource mobilization theory and the political opportunity structure framework by highlighting the importance of intangible less visible ideological dimensions and of cognitive framing in mobilizing for environmental causes. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
