This article focuses on the United States (US), looking at the
American culture war specifically as it relates to environmental issues.
Looking at the US today is a reminder that the culture wars are as overtly
political as they are culturally motivated, and they diminish social cohesion.
The term “culture wars” is defined as increases in volatility, expansion
of polarization, and obvious conflicts in various parts of the world
between, on the one hand, those who are passionate about religiously
motivated politics, traditional morality, and anti-intellectualism, and, on
the other hand, those who embrace progressive politics, cultural openness,
and scientific and modernist orientations. The article examines this
ideological war in contemporary environmental management debates. It
identif es characteristics of environmental leadership and discusses how
networks can act as environmental leaders.
