This fantastic analysis by University of Sussex IR MA graduate Johanna Siebert shows how colonialism was central to the emergence of the fossil economy, challenging the Eurocentrism in Marxist IR and existing analyses of the fossil economy. A must-read!

‼️ SCOOP China will hold top-level talks with the EU in the coming weeks to strike a deal allowing Chinese EV manufacturers to dodge the bloc’s planned countervailing duties. The make-or-break talks will precede the EU governments’ vote on the measures, expected on Sept. 25.

NEW European automakers receive an antitrust warning from China. Is it another threat linked to the planned EU countervailing duties on Chinese electric vehicles?

3/ Julian Germann, Steve Rolf, Sean Kenji (賢司) STARRS 💫🇺🇳🚲🥥🥃🦄🌏🇺🇳 and Joseph Baines examine how, as the US restricts China’s access to semiconductors, German firms dependent on US technology have resisted following the US chip embargo.

German chip firms resist US efforts to cut off China because of close links to car industry, which critically depends on China. I discuss key insights from our new research in this podcast with Let's Talk About: cogitatiopress.com/wp/lta/chips-p… Steve Rolf Sean Kenji (賢司) STARRS 💫🇺🇳🚲🥥🥃🦄🌏🇺🇳 Joseph Baines

Am Freitag hat die EU #Strafzölle gegen #Elektroautos aus #China beschlossen. In der Freitag argumentiere ich gegen Illusionen in Bezug auf Schutzzölle und auch Subventionen. Sie "sind keine probaten Mittel, um #Konzerne auf das Gemeinwohl zu verpflichten."freitag.de/autoren/ingar-…

Sussex VC has asked "as many staff as possible" to leave under the Voluntary Leavers scheme announced on Monday (in week 10, when everyone is on their knees, just before we break for Xmas). And we're not the only ones: qmucu.org/qmul-transform… Let's organise, together.

NEW ARTICLE: In a piece published today in Globalizations, @Seth_Schindler and I grapple with the changing contours of the global economy.

The EU is rushing to secure access to critical raw materials at any cost. But for whom are these minerals actually “critical”? Who will benefit and who will suffer in the face of a massive new mining push? Our new ENCO project has the answers. corpwatchers.eu/en/investigati…

Excited to be in Brussels today, launching the Critical Minerals Observatory!

Thrilled to see our Mapping (De)Globalization (MDG) team join the brand new Critical Minerals Observatory with a report on the #niobum supply chain coauthored with Transnational Institute, Greenpeace International, and @Resourmatters corpwatchers.eu/en/investigati…
