The Political Economy of the Low-Carbon Transition Pathways Beyond Techno-Optimism Peadar Kirby and Tadhg O’Mahony
International Political Economy Series Series Editor Timothy M. Shaw Visiting Professor University of Massachusetts Boston, USA Emeritus Professor University of London, UK
The global political economy is in flux as a series of cumulative crises impacts its organization and governance. The IPE series has tracked its development in both analysis and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentration on the global South. Now the South increasingly challenges the North as the centre of development, also reflected in a growing number of submissions and publications on indebted Eurozone economies in Southern Europe. An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and connections by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and policies. It informs diverse policy communities as the established trans-Atlantic North declines and ‘the rest’, especially the BRICS, rise.

‘In a clear and powerful argument, grounded in evidence from a wide range of sources, this book will persuade you that only eco-socialism can solve the climate crisis and ensure our survival.’ —Jacklyn Cock, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
