New publication of the Graduiertenkolleg Krise und sozial-ökologische Transformation (ed.) with Carla Noever ,,Kämpfe um Transformation. Kritische Analysen und Interventionen zur sozial-ökologischen Krise"

Struggles for transformation. Critical analyses and interventions on the socio-ecological crisis.

Research Training Group "Crisis and Social-Ecological Transformation" (ed.)

 

What is at stake?

As socio-ecological crises intensify, so do the debates about their solutions. A strategy of green modernization is often pursued: Our capitalist growth society can remain as it is if we optimize it technologically and energetically. This attempt to stabilize the prevailing mode of production and lifestyle comes at a price. Whether conflicts over raw materials in the Global South, authoritarian tendencies in liberal democracies, upheavals in the world of work or the blocked mobility transition - the contributors explore the central socio-ecological transformation conflicts of the present and venture an outlook on how transformation can be thought of and shaped differently.

 

The editors are part of the Research Training Group "Crisis and Social-Ecological Transformation" of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung and the HWR Berlin: https: //transformationskolleg.de/
