What does Geert Wilders actually want, in policy terms? A 🧵.

Behind the scenes from the field: In Portugal, the village of Covas do Barroso fights against a new #lithium mine. While the company already started digging, the population defends their common land (baldios) with a continuous guard of their forest and land.

Just published a short article on the EU's critical raw materials strategy and the conflict over a new lithium mine in northern Portugal. We visited Covas do Barroso three weeks ago. It’s a key phase of resistance, and people fight for their livelihoods. spektrum.de/news/rohstoffe…

Thrilled to share that our paper on China's strategies in securing material resources for its burgeoning battery industry has been recently published @TFSC. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Richest five families in Florence 🇮🇹 from 1427 are still the richest today (archival data). Not only the top shows persistence. Any family who was in the (1427) top third is almost certain to still be there today. Likely many Florences out there Paper in Review of Econ Studies

New publication (Spanish) on ‘Why do some communities resist while others do not’. In the article, I analyze two indigenous communities’ responses to lithium mining through the lens of territoriality. Published by ‘Crónicas de la Bifurcación’ at UNAM . let.iiec.unam.mx/sites/let.iiec…

I was invited to share some thoughts on 'making low-carbon energy sustainable' for the One Earth Voices section. Resistance to the corporate energy transition shows that the transition must also be a social one. You find the short piece open access: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Big thanks to my wonderful colleagues for publicising this talk on March 4th. My Monday Night Lecture will develop some of the themes explored in Tides of Transformation: an Oil Story - a 4-part podcast series on oil we made with Intelligence Squared intelligencesquared.com/tides-of-trans…

Nix mit naiven Wilden oder grausamen Skalpjägern. Die wahre Geschichte der Indianer, die Ureinwohner Nordamerikas, erzählt von Diplomaten, Händlern und von Militärexperte.

I was invited to Salzburg for the screening of our documentary Bajo La Sal at the Latin America Film Festival. Beautiful discussion about #lithium and possibilities for a just #energytransition during the Q&A and afterwards.

I wrote a short piece about the history of GDP for agora42 (in German). The #GDP was born as an instrument of war. It’s a big mistake to continue using it as an indicator of #prosperity.

New article out! Since #sustainability has increasingly become a greenwashing buzzword, social sciences are replacing it with social-ecological transformation. With @JuttaKister & @roberthafner_at we tried to frame social-ecological transformation as a geographical concept. OA👇

Thank you for the great organization of the authors' workshop. It was great that I could be part of it. With Etienne Schneider and @dietz_kristina, we presented a first draft on interdependencies of the #hydrogen transition between Latin America and Germany.
