Short-Term Trade Dependencies of the Global South as an Obstacle to Degrowth? Quantifying the Twin Challenge of Global Dependencies
This article is an attempt to quantify the potential short-term effects on income and business profits that may occur in the Global South if the Global North were to implement policies to reduce and relocalize consumption and production. We use the Eora26 global input-output table to calculate dependency shares, which capture the share of incomes and profits in the Global South that manifests because of trade with the Global North. Using the most…
Between limits and abundance
In this paper, I argue that the discourse around a degrowth transition may be conceptualized as following two distinct narratives, or narrative strategies: one that highlights a threat (or a challenge) to be overcome, and one that highlights a promise to be fulfilled.Whereas the former proposes that there are no 'win-win solutions' under current conditions of capitalism, the latter argues that 'win-win solutions' are very much in reach, if only o…
Degrowth and the Global South
We conduct a systematic literature review comprising both a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of the academic degrowth literature considering the Global South, and delineate substantive and methodological implications for future research. We find two main narratives: one stressing synergies, i.e. commonalities among Global South and Global North perspectives on degrowth, and another highlighting challenges, i.e. a constructive discuss…
The Monetized Economy Versus Care and the Environment
This paper addresses the question of how the current growth paradigm perpetuates existing gender and environmental injustices and investigates whether these can be mitigated through a degrowth work-sharing proposal. It uses an adapted framework of the “ICE model” to illustrate how ecological processes and caring activities are structurally devalued by the monetized economy in a growth paradigm. On the one hand, this paradigm perpetuates gender in…
