Forschungsbewertungen neu denken: Chancen für eine transformative sozial-ökologische Forschung in Österreich
Reaktion auf Nölting et al. in GAIA 34/2 (2025): Wissenschaftsorganisationen als Impulsgeber einer Nachhaltigkeitstransformation, und Mayer in GAIA 34/4 (2025): Universitäten in der Nachhaltigkeitstransformation: Es braucht Willen und ZeitDie Leistungsmessung in der Wissenschaft wird oft als einseitig kritisiert. Aktuelle Reformbewegungen von research assessments wollen hier Abhilfe schaffen. In Österreich bieten erste Änderungen bei Förderprogra…
Die strukturellen Grenzen des Dekarbonisierungsstaates
Um die Klimaziele zu erreichen, haben viele OECD-Staaten ihre Bemühungen zur Dekarbonisierung ihrer Wirtschaften verstärkt. Dennoch besteht eine gravierende Umsetzungslücke, die durch den aktuellen klimapolitischen Backlash noch vergrößert wird. Ausgehend von der These eines entstehenden »Dekarbonisierungsstaates« argumentieren wir, dass ein tieferes Verständnis des liberal-kapitalistischen Staates und seiner Grundfunktionen dazu beitragen kann, …
Slow and unequal reduction in Austrian household GHG footprints between 2000 and 2020
Understanding the trends and distribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embodied in household consumption is pivotal to developing climate‐change mitigation strategies that are just and effective. While household GHG footprints inequality is increasingly investigated, less is known about its temporal dynamics across product groups. For the case of Austria, we (1) develop a database for household GHG footprints from 2000 to 2020 by combining m…
Carbon removal, mitigation deterrence and the politics of target separation. Evidence from the EU 2040 climate target negotiation
The ongoing integration of novel carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods into climate policy has raised concerns that expectations of CDR may delay or undermine emission reduction efforts—a risk discussed as mitigation deterrence. Separating targets for emission reduction and CDR has emerged as a key policy proposal to address this risk, limiting the fungibility of emission reduction and CDR, and enabling critical assessment of the credibility and a…
Towards a global perspective on interrelated green hydrogen transitions: The case of Colombia
Green Hydrogen (GH2) is widely considered a key element in decarbonising industries and energy systems to mitigate climate change. The EU aims to increase the use of renewable (or green) hydrogen to 20 million tonnes by 2030, 50 % of which will have to be imported, mostly from the Global South, while Germany projects an even higher hydrogen import share (50–70 %). The dependence of GH2 transitions in the Global North on imports from the Global So…
Mit CCS zur Klimaneutralität: Die Renaissance einer umstrittenen Technologie
Bis 2045 soll Deutschland klimaneutral sein. Ein zentraler Baustein dafür ist in den Klimaneutralitätsszenarien Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). CCS erfährt heute breite Unterstützung aus verschiedenen Industriezweigen und soll nach Plänen der Ampelkoalition ein wichtiger Baustein der deutschen Klimapolitik werden. Wir analysieren mittels der historisch-materialistischen Policy-Analyse (HMPA) die Auseinandersetzungen um die Etablierung dieser Te…
The politics of carbon management in Austria: Emerging fault lines on carbon capture, storage, utilization and removal
With the proliferation of net zero targets in climate policy and corporate climate governance, the question of how to deal with greenhouse gas emissions considered hard-to-abate is attracting growing attention. In this context, the notion of carbon management has emerged on the political agenda – an umbrella term typically encompassing carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon capture and utilization (CCU) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Here, w…
Germany’s Industrial strategy 2030, EU competition policy and the Crisis of New Constitutionalism. (Geo-)political economy of a contested paradigm shift
In early 2019, the German Ministry of Economic Affairs revealed its National Industrial Strategy 2030. Even though attenuated due to fierce domestic opposition, it marks a shift towards a more selective, interventionist industrial policy. In particular, this shift has instigated far-reaching upheavals in EU competition policy under Franco-German pressure. This article probes into the determinants of this shift in Germany, a country (in-)famous fo…
Carbon dioxide removal and mitigation deterrence in EU climate policy: Towards a research approach
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are rapidly evolving from renderings in climate models towards an explicit and essential component of climate policy-making. This has raised concerns that the expectations of future large-scale availability of CDR technologies may deter mitigation, i.e., delay or substitute emission reduction efforts. Here, we develop a conceptual approach to systematically study such mitigation deterrence effects in clim…
NextGenerationEU and the Future of the European Monetary Union: Shifting Interests and New Fractures in the German Power Bloc
Based on joint borrowing and a significant transfer component, NextGenerationEU stands in contrast to Germany's longstanding rejection of a ‘debt’ and ‘transfer union’. This article probes into the determinants of this shift in Germany's European policy approach. Focusing on the conflicts in Germany over the ‘deepening’ of the Monetary Union through fiscal capacity building between 2015 and 2020, it investigates which actors, interests and strate…
Krise und Regulation des Kapitalismus in der Europäischen Union
Seit der Eurokrise wurden in der Europäischen Union grundlegende Veränderungen im europäischen Regulationsmodus, insbesondere in der Regulation des Geld-, Lohn-, und Konkurrenzverhältnisses angestoßen. Diese Veränderungen resultierten einerseits aus den geopolitischen Verschiebungen der letzten Jahre, andererseits aus dem Versuch, die infolge der Eurokrise entstandenen Krisentendenzen zu bearbeiten. Damit verbunden waren durchaus deutliche Brüche…
Contours of historical-materialist policy analysis
Historical-materialist policy analysis (HMPA) aims at analyzing how specific policies are formulated against the background of essentially competing and contradictory interests of different social forces. It examines how, if at all, these policies contribute to societal reproduction and the regulation of social contradictions and crisis tendencies. This article provides a concise introduction to HMPA as well as to the key theoretical concepts and…
EU industrial policy: Between modernization and transformation of the automotive industry
The transport sector accounts for 27 % of total CO2 emissions in the EU, with almost half of these being attributed to passenger cars and the automotive industry. In order to meet the Paris Agreement 1.5 °C target, these figures call for interventionist policies that go beyond individual consumer choice and transform industrial sectors. The article conceptually elaborates on the advancements in transformation and transition studies to analyse the…
Corona und die nächste Eurokrise
Die Corona-Pandemie entwickelt sich zu einer weltweiten Wirtschaftskrise. Dadurch droht auch eine neuerliche Eurokrise, denn die Eurozone ist heute noch fragiler als 2009ff. Zum einen wurde die Eurokrise in Südeuropa bis heute nicht überwunden, zum anderen war die institutionelle Reform der Architektur der Währungsunion in den vergangenen Jahren blockiert. Darüber hinaus steht mit Italien nun jenes Land im Fokus, in dem sich bereits vor der Coron…
From the Sovereign Debt Crisis to Authoritarian Statism: Contradictions of the European State Project
The recent sovereign debt crisis in Europe appears to have consolidated the ideological and the historical actuality of the European state project, but not in the manner that many of its advocates would have hoped. Far from deepening democratisation, what has emerged instead is a political terrain increasingly reminiscent of what Nicos Poulantzas termed ‘authoritarian statism'. The present article aims to illuminate this phenomenon in relation to…
