While the #USAElection2024 are under way, Pádraig Carmody relates work on ‚deglobalization‘ and ‚peak China’ to our work on transforming global practices through China, India, Brazil. We will need new ways of ‚seeing‘ how power and influence operate in current transformations.

All eyes should really *also* be on #Mexico . #SandraDomínguez disappeared in #Oaxaca, had exposed politicians' porn networks. 2 retired profs teaching wastewater use, killed in #Morelos. Displacements of #zapatista supporters #Chiapas. News from 1 morning. @DMRKMexiko
Laura y Enrique dedicaron su vida a crear modelos sustentables. Investigaban cómo limpiar aguas residuales usando humedales artificiales o cómo usar partículas de origen microbiano para descomponer la contaminación de pesticidas o combustibles. Los secuestraron y mataron.

We examine in this article how major Chinese mining companies respond to resistance.

We find that Chinese miners abroad concede under similar conditions as their Western and other global peers: intense disruptive actions and pressure from state actors and NGOs lead to concessions.

We show, however, that reputational vulnerability is key for responsiveness but is lower for many Chinese companies due to reputational vulnerabilities being differently distributed in the Chinese case.

This looks amazing! If you work on a longer manuscript on these themes, send us a note for the bristoluniversitypress.co.uk… series that @spaceforpeace and I edit with @HeathershawJ and @ShaharHameiri.

The work by today's winners of the Nobel Prize in economics has been challenged by scholars like Yuen Yuen Ang, Mushtaq Khan, and Ha-Joon Chang. Read them! Then you will understand that enforcing the North's capitalist institutions in the South does not lead to development.
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James A. Robinson “for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity.” #NobelPrize
