Can liberal democracies thrive with consumption limits? Barriers to implementing consumption corridors
Consumption limits and sufficiency approaches face growing opposition in today’s political landscape. While proponents of consumption corridors (CCs) assume that setting upper consumption limits is achievable in liberal democracies, we argue that the tensions between CCs and liberal democracy are more profound than suggested. We examine the role of (high) consumption in liberal democracies to better understand the barriers to achieving a good lif…
Why now? Questioning the confidence in eco-political experimentation in civil society
In the social sciences literature, experimentation in civil society as in food co-ops, urban gardens, repair cafés, or sharing platforms is widely considered as promising to address mounting socio-ecological problems. But is this confidence justified at a point in time when fundamental change is more urgent than ever? After all, these forms of experimentation have a history that reaches back to the very beginnings of environmentalism. Why should …
Emancipatory Politics at its Limits? An Introduction
Emancipatory politics and the very idea of emancipation have come under pressure. Feminist and post-colonial critiques, the appropriation of emancipatory ideals by right-wing populists and the crises triggered by the transgression of planetary boundaries all expose emancipatory paradoxes and raise questions about the further suitability of emancipation as a regulative ideal guiding any socio-ecological transformation of contemporary consumer soci…
Does emancipation devour its children? Beyond a stalled dialectic of emancipation
Emancipation serves not only as a midwife for progressive agendas such as greater equality and sustainability but also as their gravedigger. This diagnosis underpins Ingolfur Blühdorn's 'dialectic of emancipation', which depicts a dilemma but offers no perspective on how to deal with it. By drawing on Foucault, this article suggests conceiving of emancipation as a task moderns are confronted with even if a given emancipatory project has come to d…
Revisiting the Right to the City, Rethinking Urban Environmentalism
In the environmental politics literature, cities are commonly framed as key sites for a shift towards greater sustainability and urban grassroots initiatives, such as food co-ops, urban gardening initiatives, repair cafés, and libraries of things, are commonly portrayed as such a shift's key drivers. This paper develops a critical perspective on both common portrayals. It does so by drawing on critical urban theory, especially Lefebvre's Right to…
Economic Policies Are the Best Social Policies
This article challenges the widespread view that neoliberalism had become hegemonic in the late 20th century by zooming into a less well-known variant of neoliberalism, German ordoliberalism, whose political ascendency dates back to the 1940s and 1950s. Through the lens of post-WWII housing policies-a central field of political intervention after 1945-this article focuses on the remaking of social policies as neoliberal policies in West Germany, …
