Such transformations involve changes in various dimensions of social being: changes in how humans interact with nature, non-humans and one another; changes in social structures; and changes in how we are as human beings. The book suggests that for degrowth transformations to occur, actions in civil society, business and the state are necessary on the local, national and transnational scales. Moreover, it identifies a range of mechanisms that can bring about degrowth societies. These include ecosocial policies, transformative initiatives in business and civil society and alternative modes of being in and relating to the world. This perspective is informed by multiple fields of knowledge, including political economy, sociology, geography and philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Providing a comprehensive theory of degrowth transformations, this volume identifies the mechanisms that could facilitate degrowth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHubert Buch-Hansen is an Associate Professor at Roskilde University\u003cbr\u003e Max Koch is a Professor at Lund University\u003cbr\u003eIana Nesterova is a Postdoc at Aalto University School of Business\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51776267321632,"sku":"9781526177858","price":63.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5dc48f321f2342fb2c62ccdeb4b0a3da.webp?v=1780475822","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/deep-transformations-a-theory-of-degrowth-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
