About the book:

Degrowth & Strategy: How to bring about social-ecological transformation

What might a socio-ecological transformation that transcends economic growth look like? What are strategies for system change—and which actors and alliances are needed? More than 50 authors from the international degrowth community have reflected on this. Here, they demonstrate how people can effectively engage with strategies in many areas and sectors while preserving plurality. They also don't shy away from difficult questions about priorities and strategic coordination.

The entire book is available as a free PDF from the open-access publisher MayFly and can be purchased from many online booksellers.

The conceptual work is represented by two contributions: Chapter 6 “Who shut shit down? – What degrowth can learn from other social–ecological movements” by Corinna Burkhart, Nina Treu, Tonny Nowshin and Matthias Schmelzer and Chapter 13 “Digital Technologies – Overview & Case: Low-tech Magazine and Decidim” by Nicolas Guenot and Andrea Vetter.
