In this lecture, Dr. Andrew Jorgenson discusses comparative international work that looks at patterns in environmental change, development and globalization. He overviews several theories of economic and social development and globalization, and then explains the use of longitudinal methods to characterize global change. He reviews several dependent variables that are often used to measure macro-level global change, and uses the example of the relationships between greenhouse gas emissions and economic growth to demonstrate analyses of longitudinal trends. Finally, he applies several theories from environmental sociology to the example to highlight how to use theory to interpret empirical patterns.
