With Caroline Ahler Christesen and @jhasselbalch.bsky.social, we asked: what can the environmental state actually do? The answer is out now with @gepjournal.bsky.social 👇 If you ever wondered about this, check our paper and let us know what you think: direct.mit.edu/glep/article...

Great new work from Søren Lund Frandsen on the microfoundations of #industrialpolicy: "the effectiveness and direction of #greenindustrialpolicy cannot be understood by investment volumes alone but must be traced through its organisational microfoundations": www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Tag yourself. I'm a coalition based, green industrial policy ecosocialist, rooting for high integration democracy, green growth everywhere with surgical degrowth, defending international solidarity, a mostly optimistic we-have-the-technology-we-need approach and a dynamic understanding of history.

We’re stuck in a false choice between green growth and degrowth. One promises to fix the planet by growing the economy, the other by shrinking it. But when you look closer, neither is a coherent political project. And there’s more overlap than most debates admit.

"BYD’s ascent thus forces a question that goes beyond industry: Can Europe still make things at scale in a world where power lies in the ability to integrate finance, technology, and policy faster than anyone else?"- @cornelban.bsky.social's new #geoeconomics substack (substack.com/home/post/p-...)

New article out! Outcome of a collaborative effort with Jane Bjørn Vedel, Susana Borrás, Alan Irwin and Vera Simoneit, funded by a local strategic initiative at Copenhagen Business School. #innovation #innovationpolicy #organization #grandchallenges www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

1/7 Our new article is out in Globalizations: Toward a post-growth industrial policy for Europe: navigating emerging tensions and long-term goals. With @jasonhickel.bsky.social & @sebmang.bsky.social @envleeds.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

4 NEW pieces, with @cornelban.bsky.social + @jhasselbalch.bsky.social on state planning, @rosiecollington.bsky.social on planet-critical sectors, @shayaksengupta.bsky.social + Abhinav Jindal on multilateralism, and @brusselermel.bsky.social + @chrismwhayes.bsky.social on derisking (Links below)

"The green state must rise from the ashes of the derisking state... plan for a future of resilience or resign ourselves to chaos and the perils of climate adaptation under authoritarianism." www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/ind.... @cornelban.bsky.social #decarbonization #planning #ClimateSky

The MPIfG is seeking a research group leader (tenure track) with a focus on the socioeconomic and political impacts of technological change to set up a new research group at the intersection of #economy, #society, and #technology. 📢Please share widely! s.gwdg.de/SULoAf

Now out with New Political Economy: What's going on in the legal back-end of 'innovative' climate finance constructs? I provide some additional clues to why it's so hard to de-risk private climate finance by public means. Open access, too! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

An excellent collection of short pieces on post/de growth and International Relations. This is cutting edge and important work and deserves a wide readership. #internationalpolitics

📢 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...

In our latest issue, check out the new article by Jacob Hasselbalch & Matthias Kranke one of IR's blindspots: that economic growth is a driver of global unsustainability. It is free to read now! 📄 ➡️ buff.ly/3Xt3HRr

I think if you read Brett Christophers the problem becomes why settle for governments promising to buy private power when it could just build public power from the get go

🚨 New working paper with @calvin-thrall.bsky.social + Simran Singh 🚨 Private sector demand for climate expertise is skyrocketing. Firms now compete with the government to hire top climate experts. How does this competition affect the state's capacity for climate governance? doi.org/10.31219/osf...

@cornelban.bsky.social has provided a very helpful thread summarizing the main points of our new article on green economic planning. Follow Cornel and read more in the post below.

Could 'green economic planning' by the 'green state' go beyond flawed market-based policies & radical but politically impossible #degrowth scenarios? Good paper @cornelban.bsky.social @jhasselbalch.bsky.social - @ppochet.bsky.social @picharbonnier.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

I recommend this piece on green economic planning! The comparison to economic planning (in governments and corporations) is very relevant for everyone interested in the role of the state in driving #climateaction. Nice complement to the booming public policy literature on climate policy+governance.

excellent new paper on green economic planning from excellent CBS colleagues @jhasselbalch.bsky.social & Cornel Ban, drawing on lessons from post-war indicative planning, contemporary industrial policy & corporate planning 🌻 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Interesting new paper from @cornelban.bsky.social and @jhasselbalch.bsky.social in New Political Economy. Happy to see more work on indicative planning and to see the planning research agenda develop in general. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Really enjoyed working with @mattkranke.bsky.social as co-editor on this Forum, and especially enjoyed getting to know so many great contributors and their interesting perspectives on #postgrowth in #IR. Lots more thinking to do on this agenda, and these articles are a great way to dive in.

Big week for the political economy of the green state at CBS! On Tues we had the 2nd meeting of our Green State WG🍏 Today Olga Mikheeva @jhasselbalch.bsky.social & @etsingou.bsky.social convene a workshop w Øresund colleagues📗 (Not so big news but I've also submitted another article from my PhD🎉)

A co-authored paper of mine out a little while back has an Issue home now! That too the 50th volume of @risjnl.bsky.social. Do check out the the Issue, edited by the fine @mattkranke.bsky.social and @jhasselbalch.bsky.social. Glad to be in the company of some incredible work.

In this starter pack nothing less than already 70 profiles on political economy and ecology (x2 compared to this morning). Let’s make it 150! go.bsky.app/KDmSHCZ

I was really grateful to participate in the Environmental Politics Research Day organized by Michele Betsill (Uni Copenhagen) and Thomas Hickmann (Lund). Lots of exciting new research happening in the region on politics and political economy of #climate, #biodiversity, #transitions, #greenpolitics

COP29 is into overtime, with small island states & least developed nations walking out of the proposed financing deal and news that negotiating text was hand-edited by a member of the Saudi energy ministry. More here: www.dw.com/en/cop29-cli... and here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Carbon inequality & climate policy: Another starterpack to make sure you follow whats good. Please suggest who should be included! go.bsky.app/E3qHxFZ

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology

The Danish parliament has announced "the world's first carbon tax on agriculture", effective from 2030, at around $17/ton, rising to $42/ton in 2035. Yet this is still significantly lower than the carbon tax on all other sectors, incl. industrial emissions. Shows the power of the agricultural lobby.

Lazy Sunday reading: Venomous Lumpsucker by Ned Beauman. Enjoying this book so much.

Fantastic to see this out! In our O/A article with @jcgraz.bsky.social in @ejir.bsky.social, we draw on Frank Knight’s analysis to explain how international actors claim reliable knowledge for shaping future states of the world in times of crisis. A short 🧵 1/9

The debate on AI in Denmark is too much risk and not enough value. By focusing on the risk of AI and not the possible value, we are starting to lag behind in AI adoption. Piece in Børsen with a group of cool collaborators across academia, politics, and industry. borsen.dk/nyheder/opin...

New kinds of experts and expertise are emerging to inform national and corporate decarbonization trajectories. In a new article, Søren Lund Frandsen (Copenhagen Business School) and I call for a 'post-IPCC agenda' on the knowledge politics of climate change. #Decarbonization #ClimateGovernance
