By: Jean-Louis Aillon, Elena Dal Santo

Abstract: In 2000, 189 nations committed themselves to the Millennium Development Goals, namely a promise to free people from extreme poverty and deprivations.

Although the objectives are certainly ambitious, the lack of improvements in the basic life conditions of the world population is strictly connected to t...

Widersprüche in der Brandenburger Energiewende - Horizonte sozialökologischer Transformation

By: Dieter Klein

Decolonizing the imaginary, beginning from school

By: Paolo Scroccaro

From the text: What is the purpose of a fragmented ecological education if the remaining subjects are still dominated by the anti-ecological and “progress at all costs” ideology that acritically adopts a model of rationality that is partly responsible for the devastation of the Earth, when this is precisely what ecology tries to expose? The following speech is meant to contribute towards an an...

By: Joachim H. Spangenberg, Judith Dellheim, Lutz Brangsch, Frieder Otto Wolf

Sozialökologischer Umbau – nichts ist heute dringlicher ... weil es anders keine nachhaltige Entwicklung und damit keine für alle nachhaltige Entwicklung und das heißt: keine lebenswerte Zukunft geben kann und weil erst mit einem sozialökologischem Umbau erste Schritte gegangen werden können, die es (wieder) ermöglichen, die Lebensbedingungen und Lebenschancen zerstörende kapitalistische Pro...

By: Todor Stojanovski

Towards convergence

By: Philippe Léna

From the text: We can observe today a strong resistance to the idea of degrowth among emergent or developing countries. This proposal is often considered, among them, as a typical ideology of industrialized and rich countries. At national level, the idea of degrowth is denounced as a reactionary and upper class ideology. It is a well-known argument used by productivists, either from the right o...

The case of Hirsi Jamaa and others V. Italy and the right to have rights The Migration - Degrowth Nexus

By: Romina Amicolo

From the paper: The novelty of the Hirsi Jamaa case is the new exploit that the principle of not refoulement, must be observed also on the high seas by the European States, because the rescue operations on the high seas are cases of extra-territorial exercise of the jurisdiction of that State. Under International Law concerning the protection of refugees, the decisive test in establishing the r...

Der diskreditierte Staat. Alternativen zur Staatsverschuldung und zu Schuldenbremsen

By: Heinz-J. Bontrup

„Der seit Mitte der 1970er Jahre immer mehr geführte massive Angriff auf den Staat, genauer gesagt auf den verfassungsrechtlich verankerten Sozialstaat, und seine Verschuldung, wird von neoliberalen Interessen vertretern geschickt geführt. Sie nutzen ein allgemein in der Gesellschaft bestehendes (gesundes) Misstrauen gegen staatliche Obrigkeit und womöglich auftretender staatlicher Verschwen...

Degrowth in Architecture

By: Remigio Masobello

Premise: The acceptance of ecology, but in particular of profound ecology, is the premise for degrowth in our habits and in new architecture. If we consider ourselves ecologists (and it is hard not to for those with even just a little common sense), we must truly respect our environment, nature as a whole and our planet. Such respect will lead us to the path of degrowth. Of course we know that...
