Since the 1970s, the degrowth idea has been proposed by scholars, public intellectuals and activists as a powerful call to reject the obsession of neoliberal capitalism with economic growth, an obsession which continues apace despite the global ecological crisis and rising inequalities. In the past decade, degrowth has gained momentum and become an umbrella term for various social movements which strive for ecologically sustainable and socially just alternatives that would transform the world we live in. How to move forward in an informed way, without reproducing the existing hierarchies and injustices? How not to end up in a situation when ecological sustainability is the prerogative of the privileged, direct democracy is ignorant of environmental issues, and localisation of production is xenophobic? These are some of the questions that have inspired this edited collection. Bringing degrowth into dialogue with critical social theories, covering previously unexplored geographical contexts and discussing some of the most contested concepts in degrowth, the book hints at informed paths towards socio-ecological transformation.

Smart mobility includes automation, shared mobility services and other new forms of mobility made possible by digital technologies. This book argues that smart mobility will only be developed in a desired direction and fulfil global sustainability goals if it is steered in that direction. There is a vast body of literature on public policy and policy instruments, and there are many different conceptualisations and categorisations. Applying an open and broad approach, whereby a variety of policy instruments that are used to govern smart mobility are introduced and discussed, this book is ideal for both professionals and researchers. The book is organised into three parts: the first part explores why there is a need for policy instruments in relation to smart mobility, the second part examines how policy instruments are chosen and developed, and the third part explores what policy instruments are doing and what smart mobility is doing to them. Of the policy instruments used today, many focus on producing knowledge for governments and thereby making smart mobility governable. Because of the difficulties with implementing policy instruments that make the transport sector more sustainable, the book concludes by discussing in which ways citizen deliberation can breathe new life into the debate.

På aktiebolags bolagsstämmor fastställs föregående räkenskapsårs resultat- och balansräkningar. Bolagsledningar frågas ut och granskas av aktieägarna och hålls ansvariga för sina handlingar. Styrelseledamöter, revisorer och valberedningar väljs, och beslut fattas om vinstutdelningar. Men bolagsstämmor är så mycket mer. De är fulla av symboler och känslor som kan lära oss något om den finansiella ekonomins värld och hur denna är organiserad. I den här boken tolkas bolagsstämmor som ritualer där kulturella föreställningar spelas upp och där viktiga normer återskapas.

ETT NYTT KONTRAKT FÖR SAMHÄLLSBYGGANDE Samhället byggs och utvecklas av många aktörer tillsammans. Offentlig sektor, näringslivet och civilsamhällets aktörer deltar alla i samhällsbygget - om än på olika sätt, med olika resurser, förmågor, mandat och uppdrag. I den här boken bidrar en rad forskare – verksamma inom olika discipliner och vid olika lärosäten – till en kvalificerad diskussion om dessa aktörers föränderliga betydelse i samhällsbyggnadsprocesser. I boken diskuteras frågor som handlar om makt och ansvar, samt betydelsen av kulturens, idrottens och medborgarnas engagemang. Här finns också en diskussion om digitaliseringens betydelse för omställning och samhällsutveckling och om hur teknisk infrastruktur och system för transport och energi kan omvandlas i takt med förändrade behov och ökade krav på hållbarhet. I boken diskuteras också urbana experiment för samhällsbyggnad, nya modeller för platsutveckling, och de nya krav som offentlig förvaltning ställs inför. Flera av bidragen diskuterar hur aktörer med olika förutsättningar och resurser kan samverka med varandra.

This book presents new perspectives on changing ideals and practices surrounding desks and desk work in offices, homes, and in popular culture. The authors represent a broad range of interests and disciplines: business administration, cultural studies, library and information science, literary studies, media and communication studies, media history, and social work. They have all been encouraged to ask new questions about familiar contexts and topics: What is the role of the desk in the daily lives of social workers? What difference does it make that most traders on the financial markets have moved from trading floors to desks where movements and transactions are visible on screens? Why are so many talk show hosts sitting behind desks? And what happens when the desks are left for other arrangements?
