This book uses a critical political economy approach to develop an
historically and politically grounded set of strategies for states
to move toward a post-growth, decarbonised global economy. It
begins by examining the social and ecological costs of and limits
to economic growth and determines that significant decarbonisation
of the global economy can only be achieved if conventional
growth-based economies are replaced by an alternative post-growth
economy. Set apart from many other works in the field by its
critical political economy approach to policy development, this
book offers the reader three distinctive features. First, it places
the analysis in historical context in order to demonstrate how the
global political economy is constantly changing with respect to
distributions of wealth, power and fundamental norms, and explores
how states might harness and transform these contingent patterns in
a post-growth direction. Second, the book is not only concerned
with developing and advocating post-growth policies, but also with
how these measures can be incorporated into the high-level domestic
and international strategies pursued by states to ensure their
political legitimacy and economic and geopolitical survival. Third,
rather than proposing an idealised and politically naive model of
socioecological transformation, the proposed post-growth policy
framework is highly cognisant of the geopolitical and international
economic pressures facing states and demonstrates how these can be
managed in the transition toward a post-growth economy. This book
represents an invaluable resource for policymakers, academics,
activists and students wishing to study or contribute to the
transition to a post-growth, decarbonised economy.
