Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Joins conversations that examine the role of transport and logistics in the contemporary accumulation model. Speaks to an audience that includes social anthropologists, human geographers, sociologists, environmental historians and historically oriented economists. Relevant for readers interested in "the return of big infrastructure" after 2008 and in the financial processes accompanying it. Of interest for scholars of capitalist environment-making processes and contemporary debates regarding nature-society relations. Strives to open up topics dominated by technical approaches to broader readerships. It is also concerned with establishing the relevance of infrastructure development and transport planning as fundamental aspects of contemporary environmental struggles. Contributes to the efforts to reduce the distance between academic and non-academic debates on questions of infrastructure development, mobility and environmental justice. It is intended as a contribution to debates about the role of technological modernization in climate change mitigation strategies and seeks to broaden the conversation about anticapitalist alternatives to the hegemonic mobility paradigm.
