Energy community practice in Greece: A step towards energy democratisation
In recent years, a vibrant debate on clean energy transition has emerged. In Greece while private investment in utility-scale renewable energy projects is promoted as the driver of decarbonisation, critical voices calling for energy democratisation come to the fore and the idea of Energy Community (EC) becomes increasingly popular. This paper aims to shed light on the under-investigated landscape of Greek ECs and explore its socially innovative f…

Environmental struggles and insularity: The right to nature in Mallorca and Tenerife
Islands worldwide experience commodification of land and natural resources that is closely related to touristic activity and urbanization. Islands represent the epitome of commodified represented spaces, power, and territorialization, and in this regard, focusing on islands may shed light on how the production of socio-natures shapes the dynamics of capital accumulation, dispossession, and resistance. We explore the contestation of urban-tourist …

Commodification or the right to the island: The struggle against the construction of a hotel in La Tejita (Tenerife)
Tourism is an attractive means of economic growth for governments, private companies, and international organizations, especially in places on the periphery of world capitalism. This growth strategy goes hand in hand with the transformation of coastlines and their surrounding areas and the enclosure of common spaces. These trends are illustrated by ongoing processes in the Canary Islands. In the aftermath of the 2007–2008 economic and financial c…

El artículo explora los inicios en España de la geografía urbana crítica y marxista de raíz anglosajona, a partir de las contribuciones pioneras que bajo este enfoque introduce la geógrafa Luz Marina García Herrera (1953-2020). Sus investigaciones sobre periferias urbanas, relaciones de propiedad del suelo y agentes urbanos son hoy un referente obligado en el panorama de la geografía radical española. Este análisis trata de reconstruir un capítul…
