📣 Yet another SI for you, folks! Delighted to announce the publication of a @gepjournal.bsky.social special issue on “Global Green Visions and World Order in the Anthropocene”, co-edited with my dear colleague Bruna Bosi-Moreira. 👉 direct.mit.edu/glep/issue/2...

📣 Belated publication announcement – I have never really gotten round to properly introducing the @iajournal.bsky.social special section on ‘Boundary work and the (un)making of global cooperation’, co-edited with the wonderful @marenhofius.bsky.social. academic.oup.com/ia/issue/101/3

Wem die Sommer immer noch zu kalt sind, sollte nach dem Verbrennerausaus klimaneutrale Kraftstoffe verbieten, neue Kernkraftwerke bauen und alles Grün in Beton umwandeln lassen – und dann bei Dürren und Fluten die Betroffenen mit viel, viel Steuer💰 entschädigen. www.tagesschau.de/inland/innen...

📢 Excited to share that this collection has now been published in @gepjournal.bsky.social – thanks to my wonderful co-guest editor Bruna and all our great contributors! ➡️ The introduction is open access: direct.mit.edu/glep/article....

🎉 Nice to see this little contribution out! We briefly discuss the ways in which graphic novels (like ours on the global environmental crisis) can be used in school teaching. Happy to chat about it if anyone is interested! Just send me a DM. 📧

📢 The volume "Governing Nature and the Making of World Order", edited by the great team of @elanawilsonrowe.bsky.social, @pauldavidbeaumont.bsky.social & @lucasdopaes.bsky.social, is out now. And it's OA. 👇 bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/edcollbook-o...

📢 Publication alert – How often have you thought "Oh, that's a bad policy"? Then this is the right book (OA) for you: "Ineffective Policies: Causes and Consequences of Bad Policy Choices", co-edited by Roberge, McKeen-Edwards & Campbell-Verduyn. ⬇️ /1 bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/edcollbook-o...

This is a nice honour! Thanks, Poppy!

📢 Great opportunity at a fantastic place!

I like to tell my students that good titles already hint at or even reflect the main argument of a paper. Massive congrats in this regard to @dandrezner.bsky.social!

📢 Publication alert – Here's a new edited volume on "ineffective policies", to which I have contributed a chapter on how desirable the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) finds economic growth. Spoiler alert: very desirable even under green leadership.

🎉 First day on the new job – I really look forward to all my new colleagues within the University Alliance Ruhr: at the College for Social Sciences and Humanities, the Institut für Sozioökonomie, the Institut für Entwicklung und Frieden, and beyond.

📢 I am thrilled to share that from 1 April I will join the College for Social Sciences and Humanities of the University Alliance Ruhr, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, as "Junior Professor of Global Sustainability Governance". /1

📝 Quiz: Wer hat das 2021 gesagt? „Wir sind es unseren Kindern schuldig, dass wir uns nicht aus Angst vor Lobbygruppen, vor Leugnern oder vor Ewiggestrigen vor der Verantwortung drücken“. Richtige Antwort: Es war Markus Söder! www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/klima...

Puh, die Argumente im Wahlkampf waren auch schon mal besser: Wer ein Aus des Verbrennermotors fordert, ist gleich ein "Autofeind". Ist wer Ampeln für sinnvoll hält, auch ein "Verkehrsfeind"? Wer Torf in Blumenerde verbieten will, ein "Gartenfeind"? 🥱

📢 If @friasunifreiburg.bsky.social is calling, you should apply. I was a member of the inaugural YAS (Young Academy for Sustainability Research) and absolutely loved it! Now as the YAS in its second phase, a new YAC is being launched. What are you waiting for? 📝📩 uni-freiburg.de/frias/call-f...

Korrektur: ARD & ZDF zusammen haben das TV-Duell verantwortet.

TV-Debatte – Am schwächsten fand ich die ARD: keine (!) Frage zum Thema Bildung (Kita, Schule, Bildung) & keine Einordnung der ökologischen Kosten des von beiden geforderten Wirtschaftswachstums (z.B. CO2-Emissionen) und des von Merz geforderten Baus zusätzlicher Wohnungen (Stichwort Flächenfraß). 👎

Sounds like a really important – and sad – piece: What if we all regularly publish papers on sustainability in journals whose parent companies are anything but interested in ending the fossil age? #research #publishing #journals journals.librarypublishing.arizona.edu/jpe/article/...

📢 Proud to share a collective effort to better understand what post-growth International Relations may look like. I had the privilege of guest-editing this Editors Forum on "Towards post-growth IR" in @risjnl.bsky.social together with @jhasselbalch.bsky.social! 🧵 /1 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

So nice to get some physical copies of this piece of creative work (by scholarly standards)!

Okay, let's test the power of 🦋 (where I have more followers than I have ever had on X). Here is a fantastic graphic novel on a sad topic, the global environmental crisis, produced by the YAS @friasunifreiburg.bsky.social with the help of Ellery Studio. www.waxmann.com/waxmann-buec...

It has aged well ... 😀

Just wondering: I am currently getting relatively many new followers – more in a day than in a normal month. Is there an eXodus? 😁 Why now?

📢 "The Oxford Handbook of the International Monetary Fund", edited by great colleagues Mark Hibben and Bessma Momani, is out. Among many other chapters, it features one by myself on the IMF's relations with other international organisations. 👇 academic.oup.com/edited-volum...

Deutschlandticket = klimafreundlichere Mobilität – Heißt: - Preis niedrig halten, damit es viele nutzen (gesamtstaatliche Aufgabe genauso wie Straßenbau) - Mit Ausbau des ÖPNV in ländlichen Regionen verbinden, damit möglichst viele auch ohne Auto mobil sein können Für mehr 🚇&🚍 taz.de/Neue-Studie-...

📢 NEW WORKING PAPER OUT – Here is a multi-author effort, led by Anja Janischewski, at coming to grips with the unwieldy concept of "growth dependence". Also here on Bluesky are co-authors @christopher-olk.bsky.social & @mgschmelzer.bsky.social. Feedback welcome! econpapers.repec.org/paper/tchwpa...

📢 NEW PAPER OUT – Rajeswari Raina & @mbhrishabh.bsky.social on post-growth agrifood systems. Now all contributions to an Editors Forum in @risjnl.bsky.social with @jhasselbalch.bsky.social are out, to be connected in issue 50(5) later this year. So nice! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Ein Plädoyer für die "Menschen von heute" und die "Menschen von morgen" bzw. v.a. eines gegen die "Menschen von gestern", die ein besseres Leben für alle blockieren – scharfzüngig, aber hingebungsvoll verfasst von @janboehm.bsky.social. www.zeit.de/kultur/2024-...

Just sharing this really intriguing call for papers for an online workshop run by Enrike van Wingerden & @charlygehrke.bsky.social. 👇

"Technologieoffenheit" ist so eine leere Formel: Politik muss gewisse (Vor-)Entscheidungen treffen. Bei medizinischen Betäubungsmethoden will heute auch niemand komplett "technologieoffen" sein. Dann wäre es, wie früher lange üblich, auch ohne Betäubung okay. www.deutschlandfunk.de/vor-175-jahr...

🤔 Immer wieder spannend zu sehen, wenn einige Politiker*innen, die fossile Subventionen mit Klauen verteidigen, Subventionen für neue Technologien (hier E-Autos) ablehnen. Es wäre ja möglich, das fiskalpolitisch neutral zu gestalten: alte Technologie nicht mehr subventionieren, neue temporär schon.

Penultimate paper of our Editors Forum in @risjnl.bsky.social out now: @bentleyallan.bsky.social looks at the role of industrial policy from a post-growth perspective. 👇 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Wenn es um Arbeitsplätze in der Automobilbranche geht, kann der Rest der Menschheit doch mal bitte ein paar mehr Abgase und noch mehr CO2 in der Atmosphäre hinnehmen – so lese ich die Vorschläge der EVP-Fraktion. www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/u...

📢 NEW PUBLICATION! The Elgar Companion to the World Bank, co-edited by Antje Vetterlein & Tobias Schmidtke, is out now. I have contributed a chapter entitled "Intricate interactions: the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund". Thanks to the editors for their hard work! 👇

And accidentally, Donald Trump, who is surely one of the world's least humble people, has 5 children. It gets even better: Elon Musk apparently has 12 children. If anything then, the number of children and the degree of humility seem to be inversely related.

Wow ... As a parent of 2, I wonder how having kids would make me a better or worse political leader. There is NO relationship. I would hope that having kids keeps one polite, respectful and future-oriented. This hasn't worked out for Sarah Huckabee Sanders. 🙀 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Denn in einigen Bereichen fordert die CDU/CSU Bevormundung (Druck auf Arbeitssuchende), befürwortet starke Regulierung (Migrationsbeschränkungen, Genderverbote) und ist teilweise sogar ausgesprochen technikfeindlich (Energiewende). /2 www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/cdu-...

Das können wir regelmäßig beobachten: In der Politik sind stets die anderen "ideologisch". Dabei kann keine Partei ohne eine Ideologie, eine Weltsicht arbeiten. Wenn Merz nun den Grünen "ständige Bevormundung, Regulierungswut und Technikfeindlichkeit" vorwirft, ist das genau so einzuordnen. /1

And now that I know he is here: The introduction is co-authored and the collection co-edited with the formidable @jhasselbalch.bsky.social!

Another good soul that will be more active on Bluesky from now on: great to see you more often here @jhasselbalch.bsky.social!

Full cast after the intro: 👉 Lorenzo Fioramonti 👉 Miriam Lang 👉 Rajeswari Raina & @mbhrishabh.bsky.social 👉 Dahlia Simangan 👉 Chukwumerije Okereke 👉 @bentleyallan.bsky.social 👉 Michael Albert Thanks to @matpaterson.bsky.social & Martin Coward @risjnl.bsky.social for helping make the Forum happen! 🥳

Ok, I have severed all ties with X now, hoping for some new (and old) followers here! Looking forward to the conversations to be had.😱
