SES-0921942Erik JohnsonWashington State UniversityThis project will create a series of over time databases on national environmental organizations in Britain, Ireland, Canada, and Australia. Each national database will contain information on individual environmental organizations' (1) demographics (e.g. founding date, membership, staffing levels), (2) membership structure, (3) activities, and (4) specific issues of environmental concern. Data collection is designed to ensure the assembly of reliable data in the most flexible manner possible, in order to facilitate future work by a wide variety of potential end-users including scholars, students, and those interested or working in for-profit, non-profit and public policy realms related to environmental and energy sustainability, natural resources, health, environmental justice, or wildlife.The intellectual merit of database construction centers on developing a test of alternative social movement/interest group sequencing models. It is generally taken-for-granted that social movements/interest groups first develop locally and then nationally before transnational organizational infrastructures emerge. In contrast, scholars interested in globalization processes suggest a top-down model, where global culture has strong implications for a variety of processes within nations, including the development of domestic interest groups and national public policies.The creation of a series of national databases on environmental organizations has broader impacts by contributing to infrastructures for research and education. Data assembled here will, for example, facilitate cross-national examination of environmental movements themselves and these movements' effects on national public policy. Research is tightly integrated with an upper-level research "capstone" course taught by the PI and organized around data assembly. Teaching, training and learning are advanced through participation of a large number of undergraduate research assistants in data collection.

SES-0921942ERIK JOHNSONWASHINGTON State University本项目将在英国，爱尔兰，加拿大和澳大利亚的国家环境组织上创建一系列随着时间的数据库。每个国家数据库都将包含有关各个环境组织的信息（1）人口统计学（例如，成立日期，会员资格，人员配备级别），（2）会员结构，（3）活动和（4）（4）特定的环境问题问题。 Data collection is designed to ensure the assembly of reliable data in the most flexible manner possible, in order to facilitate future work by a wide variety of potential end-users including scholars, students, and those interested or working in for-profit, non-profit and public policy realms related to environmental and energy sustainability, natural resources, health, environmental justice, or wildlife.The intellectual merit of database construction centers on developing a test of alternative social movement/interest group sequencing models.通常认为，社会运动/利益集团首先在本地发展，然后在跨国组织基础设施出现之前在本地发展。相比之下，对全球化过程感兴趣的学者提出了一个自上而下的模型，在该模型中，全球文化对国家内部的各种过程（包括国内利益集团的发展和国家公共政策）具有很大的影响。创建一系列关于环境组织的国家数据库，通过对研究和教育的基础设施贡献了一系列有关环境组织的数据库。例如，这里组装的数据将有助于对环境运动本身以及这些运动对国家公共政策的影响进行跨国检查。研究与PI教授并围绕数据组件进行组织的高级研究“顶峰”课程紧密整合。通过参加大量本科研究助理参与数据收集，教学，培训和学习可以提高。
