New paper in @internatltheory.bsky.social! In 2020-23, nearly every major financial company worldwide was pledging to reach net zero. By 2024-25, many bailed as political backlash ramped up. Why were net-zero norms so weak? In the paper, I argue that companies were caught in a "hype cycle"

Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇

JEPP Journal@jeppjournal.bsky.social · 11mo ago

🌱🪙 In their introduction to the Special Issue "Puzzling, powering, profiting: The politics of sustainable finance in Europe", editors @danmertens.bsky.social and @nataschavanderzwan.bsky.social define EU sustainable finance & outline how best to analyse it 💡 🔗 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Alison Johnston and I have a new open access article out arguing that pressure from domestic rather than foreign bondholders is most effective in forcing populist governments to rein in their economic policies. Our case studies are Italy and Hungary, but there are clear lessons for the USA.

1. 'Rally around the flag' is not an automatism. 2. We apparently need more catastrophic droughts, wildfires, etc to have this conversation on 'green' spending 3. Does anyone count how often RRF money has already been 'repurposed'?

Nils Redeker@nilsredeker.bsky.social · last yr.

This is inane. If you want EU money for joint defense projects, joint decision-making is part of the deal—there’s no way around it. If you see that as a power grab, you’re fundamentally confused about the choices on the table. www.politico.eu/article/eu-l...

This week 50 years ago, German "Der Spiegel" covered on post-oil crisis recession (unemployment had doubled in 1974, annual real growth was zero). Headline Q was more than just business cycle policy: "Will the market economy remain?" Feels like a question now being asked for almost four full years.
