NEW STUDY We conduct a systematic mapping and thematic synthesis of the entire degrowth literature for policy proposals! 📚 Article in Journal of Cleaner Production (open access soon, DM for copy): doi.org/10.1016/j.jcle… 🫂 Co-authors: @timparrique @inescosme 🧵 Summary

So what's the practical conclusion? 1. Join an organisation (if you haven’t already) and start acting (if you are a passive member) 2. Practice criticism and self-criticism with your family, friends, and organisations 3. Discuss political strategy and direct action tactics

What did you discuss? The paper moves on to discuss the pre-analytic vision of degrowth (i.e., of what, for whom), the strategic implications of pluralism (i.e., methodological pluralism vs pluriversal politics), and how these strategies and tactics could fit together.

New Article 🚨 While research on degrowth as a scientific concept is burgeoning, there are few studies exploring the strategies and tactics that may be necessary for social movements to achieve social-ecological transformation. (1/10) 🧵 Open access - doi.org/10.1016/j.erss…

New publication 🚨 "From Western Marxism to degrowth communism. A review of Slow down: The degrowth manifesto" - Nick Fitzpatrick degrowthjournal.org/publications/2…

@ArnostN Of course, sent!

@NickClimate Could I ask you to send me your chapter? arnost.novak@fhs.cuni.cz Thanx

NEW CHAPTER! I employ an anarchist critique of the state to unite the means and ends of degrowth transformation because the means of state power runs contrary to the ends of self-governance 🧵 📑 Chapter: doi.org/10.1515/978311… 📚 Book: doi.org/10.1515/978311…

Furthermore, it provides the degrowth movement with a comprehensive and coherent framework for analysing and actualising political strategies that transcend economism.

Overall, I believe this book is essential is essential reading for anyone committed to achieving social-ecological transformation or advancing ecological economics. Its historical and philosophical depth is unparalleled in the field.

NEW BOOK REVIEW Recently I conducted a book review for @cns_journal of the most comprehensive and coherent theory in ecological economics - Foundations of social ecological economics by Clive Spash. Link: doi.org/10.1080/104557… DM me for a copy of the review or book (1/4🧵)

I forgot to add, write me for a PDF copy of the chapter. Plus, keep your eyes out on anti-copyright platforms (e.g., Lib Gen) for a copy of the book over the next month or two

A massive shoutout to our amazing editors for making this possible - Elke Weik, Chris Land, and Ronald Hartz. Likewise to comrades who helped me improve my writing - Charles, Tyler, and Lorenz :)
