Research Statement

The continuous expansion of capitalist production and consumption has generated ecological crises and social conflicts, posing immense challenges to human social development. My research explores how capital, the state, and societal forces interact and contest with one another to shape development pathways and environmental politics. In addition to examining the development and limitations of environmental institutionalization and green capitalism, I analyze the possibilities and challenges for civil society to drive change from the perspectives of environmental justice, red-green alliances, ecological democracy, and the dynamics of grassroots sustainable transitions.

Tracing the roots of environmental and social conflicts while seeking solutions for sustainable transitions, my research is closely tied to the pulses of Taiwan's social development: from electronic toxic waste and science park development controversies to toxic chemical regulation and grassroots responsible-tech movements; from environmental injustice under petrochemical pollution to exploring how petrochemical industrial cities can move toward sustainability and a just transition; and from the anti-nuclear movement to searching for minimal-conflict pathways for energy transition and renewable energy development. My empirical research connects the internal contradictions and conflicts of capitalism with value concerns and theoretical orientations such as environmental justice, just transition, and environmental, science, and democracy.
