The green economy as plantation ecology: When dehumanization and ecological simplification go 'green'

Journal of Political Ecology
Vijay Kolinjivadi, Jean-François Bissonnette, Daniel Leguizamon Alejo , Laura Valencia, Gert Van Hecken - Institute of Development Policy, University of Antwerp (IOB)
This paper describes the transformation of the biophysical landscape of the planet into replicable blueprints of the plantation plot. The plantation as a colonial-era organizational template is an ongoing ecological process premised on disciplining bodies and landscapes into efficient, predictable, calculable, and controllable plots to optimize commodity production and is dependent on racialized and gendered processes of dehumanization.

Open access book
Ilcheong Yi et al. (eds.) - United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD)
This open access book is a comprehensive reference text that explores how the social and solidarity economy (SSE) plays a significant role in creating and developing economic activities in alternative ways. In contrast to processes involving commodification, commercialisation, bureaucratisation and corporatisation, the SSE reasserts the place of ethics, social well-being and democratic decision-making in economic activities and governance. Identifying and analysing a myriad of issues and topics associated with the SSE, the Encyclopedia broadens the knowledge base of diverse actors of the SSE, including practitioners, activists and policymakers.

Promoting a global green transition following the Russian invasion of Ukraine – The external dimensions of the European Green Deal

Alfonso Medinilla, Koen Dekeyser, Karim Karaki - European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM)
The European Green Deal is being reassessed in a highly securitised environment. This can also alter the global green transition and long-term credibility of the EU. This discussion paper zooms in on the green energy transition and food systems change under the Farm to Fork Strategy, identifying key challenges in maintaining an ambitious and effective EU ‘Green Deal diplomacy’. The changing context calls for a fundamentally outward-looking and global approach to green transition, one that more structurally links the EU’s own transition with the economic development, industrialisation, sustainable transition and security needs of countries in the Neighbourhood and Africa.
