The states–markets–decarbonization nexus: Reviewing an emerging political economy agenda
The problem of climate change further confounds the already complex relationship between states and markets in modern capitalism. In this state of the art article, we argue that current political economy scholarship is making sense of this occasion by incorporating decarbonization into the “return of the state” and “financialization” literatures and thus creating a “states–markets–decarbonization nexus.” We categorize this nexus into three core t…
The political economy of China’s green transition
As China increasingly leads the world in green industries, the country is a critical case for the debate on climate change in political economy. While climate change is now less of a blind spot than previously, the debate is obstructed by an inadequate grasp of the complexities of China, stemming from the disciplinary isolation of ‘China studies’ and the political isolation of the country itself. In this commentary, we address this problem by pre…
Internationalizing Industrial Policy: How China and the United States Use State Capacity to Secure Critical Minerals for Electric Vehicles
Industrial policies are resurging across the world in response to climate change and geopolitical challenges. Current scholarship predominantly argues that state capacity for industrial policy depends on nationally oriented features, such as bureaucratic efficiency, financial resources, and expertise. However, the increasing uncertainties in globalized industrial supply chains mean that today, industrial policies must often expand into other coun…
Reimagining growth futures: Overcoming the false binary between green growth and degrowth
The pullback of Chinese overseas financing and its implications for a post-neoliberal global financial order
Over the past 15 years, Chinese overseas financing has reached a staggering $2 trillion. Differing from neoliberal principles, Chinese finance is characterized by longer time horizons, less conditionality, and more state capital. Consequently, a consensus has emerged that China is gradually reshaping the global financial architecture toward a post-neoliberal order. Through a mixed-methods analysis, I draw from three statistical databases and 132 …
Catching up with climate priorities: Understanding multilateral development banks' evolving approach to biodiversity
A global consensus now recognises biodiversity as equal to climate change in its importance to sustainable development. While multilateral development banks (MDBs) have developed a strong emphasis on climate change, how do they approach biodiversity as a new priority? Current literature on MDBs' approach to climate change is prolific, but scholarship on biodiversity is scarce. Here, we compare MDBs' climate and biodiversity efforts in order to id…
How to integrate the Global South into the ‘green state’ concept
Globally, the state apparatus is increasingly used towards green ambitions. While the ‘green state’ concept captures this universal phenomenon, the literature on it is largely limited to Western countries. Here, I assess the green state concept’s ability to reflect the global plurality of potential green states. I do so by testing the two assumed preconditions that currently delimit the green state’s scope to the West: mature democratic instituti…
