This book critically engages with a central dilemma facing counter-hegemonic movements as global crises intensify: how to foster systemic change while maintaining the plurality of their struggles. The Prospects of a Pluriversal Transition to a Post-Capitalist, Post-Carbon Future explores the tensions between fragmentation and convergence, autonomy and solidarity, and the risks of compartmentalization in pluriversal politics. Through rigorous analysis and compelling case studies, it interrogates the possibilities and limitations of building transformative synergies across decolonial, post-developmentalist, post-ecomodernist, and post-capitalist struggles. The volume examines movements resisting extractivism, food sovereignty initiatives, feminist and care-based ethics, commons-based governance, and radical pluriversalist networks that challenge dominant power structures. By blending theoretical inquiry with grounded research, this collection offers a vital resource for those reimagining and realizing alternative futures beyond capitalism, carbon modernity, and coloniality. It invites readers to critically reflect on the complexities of systemic transformation, highlighting pathways for co-creating relational, diverse, and interconnected forms of resistance and transformation.This book will be relevant to academic researchers and scholars in political ecology, critical theory, decolonial studies, environmental humanities, and social movement studies; graduate students in sociology, political science, geography, anthropology, and interdisciplinary environmental studies, and policy practitioners working on sustainable development alternatives and participatory governance.The chapters in this book were originally published in Globalizations.
