Abstract

Recent world summits on sustainable development or climate change have been considered as failures, with greenhouse emissions rising and sustainable development much talked about yet hardly seen. In this chapter, I argue that global environmental change programmes and their understanding of interdisciplinary research are part and parcel of this problem, having turned science into an “anti-politics machine” (Ferguson 1994). I illustrate this argument with sketches from two ethnographic case studies in Portugal and northern Germany, comparing them to the globalising approach of international research programmes. Rather than the ‘science is settled’ approach, I argue that the open dialogue about knowledge production and collaboration based on ethnographic research leads to a shift in perspective and helps to bring issues such as climate change into the world and science back into democracy.
