Research interests

Melanie’s doctoral research investigates climate change mitigation approaches of transnational tour operators. It is located within the global environmental governance debate and focuses on privatised governance and corporate social responsibility. Using a case study approach, it investigates forms and underlying motivations of self-governance in the largely voluntary setting of tour operations. Results will contribute to the debate on state-regulation and voluntary regulation as suitable approaches to governing climate change.
