Democracy Versus Sustainability

More about the book

The book explores the dynamics of various groups—including political parties, business sectors, and social movements—as they vie to influence the formation of post-carbon societies. It examines whether these societies will evolve into a new capitalist model focused on green growth or develop into post-capitalist democracies embracing eco-socialist and post-growth ideologies. Additionally, it questions whether these transformations will happen within existing parliamentary frameworks or arise as a challenge to current representative democratic practices.
