“…In almost every state of Australia, there have been changes in education systems towards the devolution of more responsibility to schools (Chapman & Boyd, 1986;Watt, 1989;Kennedy, 1992). Similar changes have occurred in countries throughout the world (Gordon, 1992;Hess, 1992;Lawton, 1992;Swanson & King, 1992;Young, 1993). Lawton (1992) has captured the commonalties of this international movement by the general term 'restructuring' which he defined as:…”

An international trend towards educational restructuring has meant that more decisions are being made at the school level. Underlying these policies, there is an assumption that teachers will work in groups using collaborative processes. This paper reports a case study of one school group working together to develop a school policy on behaviour management. The study focuses on some of the barriers which make collaborative processes difficult to implement. Apart from emphasising that collaborative processes require support, the paper also argues that such processes are very difficult to achieve when the culture of teaching is based on privacy and individualism.

“…In general terms, divestment refers to “[t]he action or process of selling off subsidiary business interests or investments.” 4 Much of the early use of this term originates from the legal domain and remains quite close to the above definition (e.g., Hamilton & Till, 1940). Yet, some also invoke divestment in other contexts to mean the act of giving something up, whether tangible or intangible—e.g., jurisdictional authority (Swanson & King, 1992). A foundational episode within the broader career of this concept surrounds its use in targeting the tobacco industry (Wander & Malone, 2004) and apartheid‐era South Africa (Salop, 1989).…”

Deliberate decline: An emerging frontier for the study and practice of decarbonization

Promoting low-carbon innovation has long been a central preoccupation within both the practice and theory of climate change mitigation. However, deep lock-ins indicate that existing carbon-intensive systems will not be displaced or reconfigured by innovation alone. A growing number of studies and practical initiatives suggest that mitigation efforts will need to engage with the deliberate decline of carbon-intensive systems and their components (e.g., technologies and practices). Yet, despite this realisation, the role of intentional decline in decarbonization remains poorly understood and the literature in this area continues to be dispersed among different bodies of research and disciplines. In response, this article structures the fragmented strands of research engaging with purposive decline, interrogating the role it may play in decarbonization. It does so by systematically surveying concepts with particular relevance for intentional decline, focusing on phase-out, divestment, and destabilization.
