BP & the Anatomy of a Strategic Reversal 2020-2026

Why Britain's energy path gave rise to an ideology of endless growth Despite the warnings of climate scientists, the world remains dangerously addicted to fossil fuel. Why has it been so difficult to break this habit? In a major new account, Fredrik Albritton Jonsson suggests that the planetary emergency has profound historical roots reaching back to the making of the first fossil fuel economy in eighteenth century Britain. Rather than look for a single dramatic rupture centered on the steam powered factory system, in Infinite Coal Albritton Jonsson shows that there was a much more gradual and multidimensional development of the first coal economy, stretching from the deep mine and ironworks to the household and the global food system. Albritton Jonsson explores not only the material forces behind the British energy path but also how ideas about fossil fuel energy reoriented politics and society towards a new ideal of growth. At the same time an environmental and political history of Britain’s energy transformation, Infinite Coal explains why and how coal became so deeply embedded in our way of life. Albritton Jonsson argues that the most important legacy of Britain’s early fossil fuel economy is fossil cornucopianism—the idea of a bountiful, never-ending energy source—which still haunts modern politics and economics.

Routledge Series on the Belt and Road Initiative

This book examines the transformation of the Chinese developmental state (DS) into a transnational DS.Focusing on overseas special economic zones (OSEZs), a program that was designed to assist mostly small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to "go global", the book assesses how OSEZs became part of the Chinese leadership's continued endeavor to foster growth and industrial transformation, feeding naturally into the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It goes on to investigate how globalization and integration into the world economy, as well as the narrowing of the developmental gap between China and advanced economies, have forced the DS to adapt its strategy and industrial policies.Revealing how OSEZs act as part of the Chinese DS' endeavor to steer economic activity, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Chinese politics and economics.

This book aims to link a company's investments in sustainability to enhanced competitive advantage. It allows the reader a rare glimpse inside different companies (both large and small-sized companies and from across public and private sectors) that have made deep commitments to integrating sustainable practices. While each case is a unique situation, the common thread that runs through them is the non-linear trajectory of these sustainability programmes. The reader can draw powerful insights from the progress of these 13 cross-sectoral companies as they journey from vision to execution and achievement of measurable outcome or even course correction. While the motivations for each corporation to initiate sustainability programmes may have been different, the tangible benefits of the investments provide empirical evidence of the strong relationship to value creation.The situational study from each of the selected organizations emerged after in-depth conversations with multiple stakeholders including CEOs, C-suite, and senior functional heads as well as sustainability professionals in HQ roles. Even though the title of this book rightly hints at its practice orientation, it also integrates concepts and theories for a better understanding of the adopted practices, approaches, systems and decisions.The pivotal role of leadership not just in setting sustainability goals but also in supporting the trans-formative journey at crucial milestones and embedding the right culture is revealed. This book will be useful to students, researchers and teachers of strategy, sustainability and environmental studies, ESG, environmental science, sociology and public administration. We hope this book motivates and galvanises even more momentum in research and practice so that we can preserve our planet for the next generations.

Text and Cases

Sustainability and Competitive Advantage

China is the world's biggest carbon emitter as well as the leading producer of green energy. What lies behind this fascinating contradiction? In recent years, China has built more renewable energy infrastructure than the rest of the world combined and is leading the global shift towards electrification. The Green Superpower: How China Shapes Our Future outlines China's role as a green leader in the upcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution and illustrates how European companies can become more competitive by learning from their Chinese counterparts. Experienced journalist and regional expert Christina Boutrup explores how China is leading the move away from fossil fuels, from how affordable Chinese solar panels are revolutionising the global energy landscape to the electrification of the world's largest car market and the revolutionary implications of autonomous AI technologies. Cautiously optimistic, the author covers key geopolitical trends affecting green economic progress across the world, and ultimately serves a wake-up call: to compete with China's success, Western business leaders need to learn from their Chinese counterparts and treat the green transition as a business case. The balance of global power is poised to shift. No longer copycat manufacturers of inferior products, Chinese firms are at the forefront of the world's potential first "electrostate". Now more than ever it is vital to acknowledge the central role that China plays in the transition to green energy and to learn from their strategies. The Green Superpower is essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and practitioners who operate at the intersection of environmental policy, security, sustainability and innovation.

Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't

The No Asshole Rule (20th Anniversary Edition)

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet? This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement. Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature. Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Routledge Studies of the Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development

This book examines the social, environmental, and political sustainability of Peru's mining industry as it seeks to garner the benefits of the energy transition between now and 2050.As the global shift toward net-zero emissions accelerates, Peru is uniquely positioned to play a vital role in the energy transition, thanks to its abundant reserves of critical minerals. This growing global demand presents an unprecedented opportunity for the country to harness its natural wealth to support sustainable development. Yet, the experiences of the past 25 years have shown that maximizing these benefits requires more than resource abundance alone. Social and environmental challenges have too often accompanied mining expansion, leading to significant conflicts around new projects. This book moves the conversation forward by offering a deeper understanding of the structural challenges posed by modern industrial mining and identifying the public policies needed to address them. It goes beyond the traditional 'resource curse' narrative to explore how mining can serve as a driver of inclusive growth - provided it is responsibly managed, transparently governed, and aligned with the needs of affected communities. A key message is that the future of mining in Peru depends on building a stronger, more democratic, and participatory state: one capable of representing all sectors of society, not just corporate interests. By learning from past missteps and committing to institutional reforms that promote dialogue, accountability, and equitable development, Peru can chart a new path. The goal is not simply to avoid conflict, but to contribute to a governance model and the building of institutional mechanisms capable of meeting and resolving variant interests in society, and that enable mining to contribute meaningfully to national well-being and long-term sustainability. While Peru provides key examples of the problems arising from mining development, it typifies problems encountered elsewhere not just in Latin America but further afield. It will therefore be of interest to a far wider readership concerned with the extractive industries.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and the extractive industries, Latin American development, and natural resource management more widely, as well as those involved in government and NGOs.

Der Idylle wird traditionell der Blick in ein (vergangenes) ideales oder fiktives Goldenes Zeitalter zugeschrieben. Nicht nur in der Literaturgeschichte, sondern auch in aktuellen Analysen arkadisch konfigurierter Texte entsteht daher oft der ernüchternde Eindruck, die Idylle sei auf Eskapismus und Flucht aus dem Alltag festgelegt. Die Beiträger*innen räumen mit diesem Vorurteil auf und zeigen, warum es sich lohnt, gerade die Idyllen zu beleuchten, die diesem regressiven Moment nicht folgen. Dazu arbeiten sie die produktiven Impulse dieser Zukunftsentwürfe für aktuelle ökologische, politische und soziale Krisen heraus und analysieren progressive Idyllen in unterschiedlichen Medien.

Fairer Handel informiert über wirtschaftliche Beziehungen zwischen ¿Globalem Süden¿ und ¿Globalem Norden¿ und verfestigt damit eine globale Spaltung. In Bildungsmaterialien der kirchlichen Entwicklungsarbeit werden Produzentinnen fair gehandelter Erzeugnisse als Opfer patriarchaler Kulturen repräsentiert und mit dem Maßstab mutmaßlich emanzipierter Frauen aus dem Globalen Norden verglichen. Doris Günther-Kriegel markiert die daraus abgeleitete Rückständigkeit des Globalen Südens als eine intersektionale Kategorisierung, die sie mit dem Neologismus ¿Viktigenisierung¿ hervorhebt. Diese religionswissenschaftliche Kritik eröffnet eine geschlechtssensible Perspektive auf die global wirksamen Verflechtungen von Entwicklung und Religion.
