Waste is increasingly a site of social conflict. The questions related to waste management are not merely technical; what, how, where, and by whom become intrinsically political questions. This book is about the power relations in recycling, from the viewpoint of political ecology and ecological economics. Informal waste recyclers are invisible for citizens and public policy. This book focuses on environmental conflicts involving them, with two emblematic case studies from India. Firstly, ship breaking, where the metabolism of a global infrastructure, namely shipping, shifts social and environmental costs to very localized communities in order to obtain large profits. Secondly, the conflict around municipal solid waste management in Delhi shows how environmental costs are shifted to urban residents, and recyclers are dispossessed of their livelihood source: recyclable waste. The first is an example of capital accumulation by contamination, while the second involves both dispossession and contamination. The struggles of informal recyclers constitute an attempt to re-politicize waste metabolism beyond techno-managerial solutions by fostering counter-hegemonic discourses and praxis. The book presents a range of experiences, mostly in India but with examples from all over the world, to inform theory on how environments are shaped, politicized, and contested.

Contested Waste’ examines socio-environmental conflicts involving waste pickers in the Global South, uncovering the systemic injustices that underpin contemporary waste policies. Driven by the privatisation of waste management, these conflicts expose the “recycling paradox”: while waste pickers make critical, uncompensated contributions to sustainability, they are further excluded.This book analyses how modern waste policies marginalise waste pickers, triggering conflicts in cities across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Drawing on over 70 conflicts documented in the Global Environmental Justice Atlas, the book explores how privatisation, incineration, and waste enclosures displace informal recyclers and worsen the sustainability crisis. These processes exemplify “Capital Accumulation by Dispossession,” as waste streams are enclosed and privatised, excluding waste pickers, and “Capital Accumulation by Contamination,” as environmental burdens are shifted onto marginalised communities. The book also showcases waste pickers’ resilience as they organise to fight for justice and equitable waste systems.Essential for scholars, policymakers, and activists in environmental justice, development, and urban studies, this book reveals the structural drivers of waste conflicts and the transformative power of grassroots resistance in shaping sustainable and inclusive urban futures.

The relentless pursuit of economic growth is the defining characteristic of contemporary societies. Yet it benefits few and demands monstrous social and ecological sacrifice. Is there a viable alternative? How can we halt the endless quest to grow global production and consumption and instead secure socio-ecological conditions that support lives worth living for all? In this compelling book, leading experts Giorgos Kallis, Susan Paulson, Giacomo D’Alisa and Federico Demaria make the case for degrowth - living well with less, by living differently, prioritizing wellbeing, equity and sustainability. Drawing on emerging initiatives and enduring traditions around the world, they advance a radical degrowth vision and outline policies to shape work and care, income and investment that avoid exploitative and unsustainable practices. Degrowth, they argue, can be achieved through transformative strategies that allow societies to slow down by design, not disaster. Essential reading for all concerned citizens, policy-makers, and students, this book will be an important contribution to one of the thorniest and most pressing debates of our era.

El decrecimiento se resiste a una definición simple. Como la libertad o la justicia, el decrecimiento expresa una aspiración que no puede ser encerrada en una frase. El decrecimiento es un marco en el que coinciden diferentes líneas de pensamiento, imaginarios o propuestas para actuar. Esta versatilidad es una de sus principales fortalezas.El decrecimiento es un rechazo al espejismo del crecimiento y un llamamiento a favor de una repolitización del debate público, hoy colonizado por el lenguaje economicista. Decrecimiento es la hipotesis de que podamos "vivir bien con menos y en común".Personas muy diferentes llegan a él desde diversos ángulos. Algunos, porque constatan que hay límites al crecimiento. Otros, porque consideran que estamos entrando en un período de estancamiento económico y que deberíamos hallar vías para mantener la prosperidad sin crecimiento. Otros más, porque creen que una sociedad verdaderamente igualitaria solo puede ser aquella que se libere del capitalismo y su búsqueda insaciable de expansión. Y otros, finalmente, porque el término "decrecimiento" les resulta muy coherente con el modo de vida que han elegido.Las contribuciones a este libro provienen de diversas escuelas de pensamiento, de diferentes disciplinas y de variadas esferas de vida: economistas ecológicos, antiutilitaristas, (neo)marxistas, ecologistas políticos, cooperativistas, "nowtopistas" y diversos activistas y practicantes.Estamos ante una red de ideas y conversaciones en forma de vocabulario, el desarrollo de un conjunto de conceptos que construyen el andamiaje imprescindible para responder a un cambio de paradigma civilizatorio. El resultado es el compendio más exhaustivo sobre el decrecimiento hasta ahora publicado en castellano, útil como referencia internacional. Decrecimiento ha sido publicado en inglés y catalán y próximamente en francés, alemán, portugués, holandés, croata e italiano.
