Book Synopsis Post-growth Economics and Society by : Isabelle Cassiers
Download or read book Post-growth Economics and Society written by Isabelle Cassiers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We stand on the threshold of a "post-growth" world – one in which the relentless pursuit of economic growth has ceased to constitute a credible societal project. The symptoms that mark the end of an era are clear and incontrovertible: a return to the regularities of the past is illusory. The pursuit of economic growth no longer constitutes a credible societal project for ecological, social, and geopolitical reasons. Edited by an impressive array of experts, this book identifies several areas in which we must fundamentally rethink our societal organisation. They ask what it means to abandon the objective of economic growth; how we can encourage the emergence of other visions to guide society; how global visions and local transition initiatives should be connected; which modes of governance should be associated with the required social and technological innovations. Alongside the necessary respect of ecological limits and equity in distribution, the promotion of autonomy (involving all in the building of socio-political norms) could serve for guidance. The topics addressed over the chapters range from the future of work to the de-commodification of economic relations; the search for new indicators of progress to decentralized modes of governance; and from the circular economy to polycentric transitions. Each contribution brings a unique perspective, a piece of a larger puzzle to be assembled. Post-growth Economics and Society is an important volume to those who study ecological economics, political economy and the environment and society. It invites theorists as much as practitioners to re-explore the roots of our societal goals and play an active role in the systemic shift to come.

Book Synopsis Critical Sustainability Sciences by : Stephan Rist
Download or read book Critical Sustainability Sciences written by Stephan Rist and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores Critical Sustainability Sciences, a new field of scientific inquiry into sustainability issues. It builds on a highly novel integration of elements from relational ontologies, critical theory, political ecology, and intercultural philosophy in support of emancipatory perspectives on sustainability and development. The book begins by uncovering the weaknesses of mainstream sustainability science and debates on sustainable development. The new field of Critical Sustainability Sciences has grown out of a deep engagement with relational ontologies, which helps to overcome the dualist ontology underlying mainstream notions of sustainability and development. Dualist ontologies reinforce problematic anthropocentric divisions, for example, between humans and nature, subjects and objects, mind and matter, body and soul, etc. Examples from indigenous peoples in Bolivia, India, and Ghana – as well as integrative movements in Chile, Brazil, and Europe – show that relational conceptions of life, rooted in ecosophy and cosmosophy, can provide an intercultural philosophical foundation for Critical Sustainability Sciences. The book concludes by describing three key topics for exploration in Critical Sustainability Sciences: societal reorganization in view of emancipatory, existential, and cognitive self-determination; living labor and commons; and the development of new comprehensive relational scientific paradigms. This book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and practitioners of emancipatory and intercultural approaches to sustainability and development.
Book Synopsis Vers une société post-croissance by : Isabelle CASSIERS
Download or read book Vers une société post-croissance written by Isabelle CASSIERS and published by Editions de l'Aube. This book was released on 2018-06-07T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme post-croissance désigne l'entrée dans une ère que nous ne parvenons pas encore à nommer, si ce n'est par référence à celle que nous quittons. Les symptômes qui signent la fin d'une époque sont clairs et sans appel : la poursuite de la croissance économique ne constitue plus un projet de société crédible. Toutefois, y renoncer pose aux économistes (théoriciens et praticiens) des défis majeurs qui exigent de reprendre à leur racine, sous un éclairage transdisciplinaire, les questions dont ils traitent couramment. Ensemble, les neuf chercheurs réunis dans cet ouvrage s'interrogent : quels sont les problèmes majeurs qui surgissent à l'esprit dès lors que l'on abandonne un objectif de croissance continue ? Par où passe la transition vers un autre horizon ? Quels sont les courants de pensée et les modes de gouvernance susceptibles d'articuler un projet cohérent ? Chacun des auteurs apporte un regard spécifique, une pièce au puzzle qu'il s'agirait à l'avenir d'assembler. Dans cet ouvrage, Isabelle Cassiers (UCL), Kevin Maréchal (ULB) et Dominique Méda (Paris-Dauphine) ont rassemblé autour d'eux des chercheurs issus de diverses institutions et disciplines?: Thomas Bauwens, Olivier De Schutter, Stephan Kampelmann, Sybille Mertens, Bernard Perret et Géraldine Thiry.

Book Synopsis Canada : Images D'une Société Post/nationale by : Nordic Association for Canadian Studies. International Conference
Download or read book Canada : Images D'une Société Post/nationale written by Nordic Association for Canadian Studies. International Conference and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has Canada moved beyond the nation state into the world of the post-national? To what extent have fixed notions of Canadian nationhood been replaced by a more global, decentralized sense of identification? Is nationhood (or post-nationhood) best expressed by statelessness and exile or by belonging? Or can Canadian national identity in fact fruitfully coexist with the post-national consciousness? These are some of the issues covered by this volume, issues seen from a range of perspectives - literary, cultural, political and economic. In the literary sphere the national/post-national debate is explored both through canonical writers, such as L. M. Montgomery, Stephen Leacock, and Marie-Claire Blais, and through recent First Nations, Asian-Canadian, African-Canadian, Ukrainian-Canadian and Quebec writing. The political and economic range is equally diverse, covering such topics as immigration policy, multiculturalism, Canadian-American relations, tourist imaginings of the Canadian North, the Canadian city, and Quebec nationalism. The book brings together 27 original articles from international scholars and creative writers, offering both European and Canadian perspectives. Six articles in French focus specifically on the francophone sphere.

Book Synopsis Towards a Political Economy of Degrowth by : Ekaterina Chertkovskaya
Download or read book Towards a Political Economy of Degrowth written by Ekaterina Chertkovskaya and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, the degrowth idea has been proposed by scholars, public intellectuals and activists as a powerful call to reject the obsession of neoliberal capitalism with economic growth, an obsession which continues apace despite the global ecological crisis and rising inequalities. In the past decade, degrowth has gained momentum and become an umbrella term for various social movements which strive for ecologically sustainable and socially just alternatives that would transform the world we live in. How to move forward in an informed way, without reproducing the existing hierarchies and injustices? How not to end up in a situation when ecological sustainability is the prerogative of the privileged, direct democracy is ignorant of environmental issues, and localisation of production is xenophobic? These are some of the questions that have inspired this edited collection. Bringing degrowth into dialogue with critical social theories, covering previously unexplored geographical contexts and discussing some of the most contested concepts in degrowth, the book hints at informed paths towards socio-ecological transformation.
