PRINT EDITION: MAPPING THE GREEN TRANSFORMATION
The Editorial Board of the Green European Journal introduces the special Print Edition of the Journal, which maps four debates key to the future of Europe. These four debates are gateways to penetrating the transnational complexity of the European environmental debate, interconnecting national public spaces where debates on the fundamental issues for our future are still being carried out in an overly compartmentalised fashion
END OR BEGINNING? EUROPE AS THE TRAILBLAZER OF THE GREEN REVOLUTION
The decisive question for the coming decades is not ‘if’ but ‘how’ the global economy will grow. We are currently in the middle of a green revolution in which millions are already participating. To advance, however, we need effective environmental policy at national and international levels. And above all, we need a European Green New Deal.
SOME REFLECTIONS ON HOSPITALITY AND INTEGRATION IN EUROPE
‘Hospitality’ in the traditional sense is too limited a concept when discussing our relationship with Europe’s migrant communities. Instead what we need is a language that recognises all groups as equal partners striving for a shared identity.
THE PROGRESS OF THE ARTS AND ECOLOGICAL WISDOM
Placing our society and economy within an ecological framework will require a radical rethink of what ‘progress’ means as to date this has become synonymous with economic growth. This will mean a change in our relationship with technology and a rebuilding of our social relations.
TECHNOLOGY, RELOCALISATION AND SELF-LIMITATION
The 21st century presents a fascinating paradox: never before in its history has humanity reached such an advanced and refined level of technological development, but never has it come so close to the ecological precipice and global collapse. If this contradiction is to be overcome, political ecology must focus on two priorities: the relocalisation of the economy and the democracy of self-limitation.
WHAT IS GREEN SOLIDARITY?
Reflecting on contemporary and historical debates on the concept of ‘solidarity’ in Sweden, Per Gahrton finds conflicting views on what many take to be a simple concept.
SOLIDARITY IN EUROPE, SOLIDARITY IN THE WORLD
Using examples from her own home, Corfu, Vera Koronaki describes the reasons why we need solidarity, both in Europe as well as beyond, and the steps that we can take to achieve it.
SOLIDARITY AND STRENGTH
After considerable research and deliberation, the German political foundation Heinrich Boell Stiftung published its report “Strength and Solidarity” which puts forward a series of proposals in areas such as foreign and security; agricultural; energy; economics and monetary and enlargement policy. The report aims to facilitate discussion within the European Green movement. Below is an extract from that report.
INTEGRATION OF MIGRANTS - IDEAS AND PERSPECTIVES FROM HUNGARY
Hungary has become an interesting test case for integration and migration policies especially with regard to co-ethnic immigration (those of Hungarian descent born in other countries) and of course the migration of people from other EU countries. This complex relationship is not without lessons on exclusion and inclusion.
MIGRANTS MUST BECOME ECO-CITIZENS OF THE WORLD
France’s experience with immigration teaches us that unless we provide real equality, including political and social rights, we will always struggle as a society to cope with our changing demographics. For this to happen, we need to step out of our national context and see this as an issue that needs European level and global attention. This includes looking at environmental and social problems from a global perspective.
