Das demonstrieren nicht nur die wachsende Zahl der unter diesem Label erscheinenden wissenschaftlichen Publikationen sowie die seit Jahren steigenden Teilnehmer*innenzahlen auf internationalen Degrowth-Konferenzen, sondern auch die Entstehung von immer mehr lokalen bis regionalen Initiativen, die sich direkt oder indirekt auf das Konzept beziehen. Die Herausgeber*innen verfolgen hierbei explizit das Ziel, mit dieser Rundumschau einen ersten Überblick über die praktische Umsetzung von Degrowth-Prinzipien in konkreten Initiativen und Projekten vorzulegen und Allianzen zu bilden. Der Aufbau der Kapitel folgt jeweils einer einheitlichen Struktur, die sich an Leitfragen an die Autor*innen zur ‚zentralen Idee' der Bewegung, dem sozialen Profil ihrer Aktivist*innen, dem Verhältnis zu Degrowth, zu Vorschlägen für die Degrowth-Perspektive, und abschließenden Visionen und Wünschen orientiert.

A similar process occurs in training in agroecology sponsored by the MST, which on the one hand creates conditions for young activists to identify with agroecology as a political project and, on the other hand, has certain organizational practices that undermine their ability to convince others to do so. Looking beyond appearances: facing contradictions to "scale in" agroecology within social movements: Constructing legitimacy? The micro-sociological analysis conducted by Dr. Lagier exposes conflicts among settlers around agroecology, pointing to a "social rift" between farmers who support agroecology and those who use conventional methods.

Several hundred workers were dismissed for their role in the strike, but a subsequent collective agreement conceded some of the demands made by workers. Following an incident in which fifty striking workers burned the housing facilities of more than 500 workers, a worker was charged with initiating the destruction and imprisoned for 18 days. The central argument of this book is that 'Only a theory of strikes that goes beyond a focus on trade unions and the workplace will be able to grasp the forms of labour conflict that affect the majority of the world population, and the global working class, which lives in non-core countries' (p. 3).

Regarding anti-Olympic activism, it is called for increased efforts to establish a global movement of anti-Olympic groups and strategic engagement with Olympic athletes. Indeed, this relates to what [6] dubs the "mega-event syndrome", as an idea which explains why mega-events tend to involve, I inter alia i , the overpromising of benefits (or "legacies"), the underestimation of event costs and public debt. The latter may be the reason why, over the past decades, global cities have become increasingly reluctant towards bidding for sport mega-events' hosting rights and the related costs, demands and risks that arrive with any successful Olympic hosting rights bid.

The book "Data Justice" by Lina Dencik, Arne Hintz, Joanna Redden, and Emiliano Treré, published by SAGE Publications Ltd in 2022, addresses the relevance of algorithmic systems and data in political and economic systems.

It also explores the importance of citizen participation in data management and proposes solutions from the perspective of social movements. In summary, the book offers a comprehensive view of data justice beyond technological advancements. [Extracted from the article]

The book is a collection of ethnographic studies across Europe that focus on how food can symbolize identity and the relationship between "food value" and food practices, locally and across regions. In "Food Values in Europe," Valeria Siniscalchi combines her background in "anthropology of economic spaces" with Krista Harper's research experience in food systems, social movements, and urban public spaces to create a comprehensive edited collection on "food projects" in Europe.

Offner takes us back to the CVC in the 1950s, when Wiesner began to write about state decentralisation while pursuing his PhD at the University de los Andes, to show that he was a product of developmental state-building. In Chapter 8 Offner traces the trajectory of Eduardo Wiesner, a Colombian International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank economist who pushed a range of Latin American countries to adopt IMF-based adjustment programmes in the 1980s and 1990s.

Phillips draws heavily on this analytical framework to historicise LGBTQ activism in Singapore in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and traces how LGBTQ Singaporeans have relied on the Internet to traverse both the virtual and the physical world to gain recognition as equal citizens. In highlighting these contradictions, Phillips makes the argument that the Singapore government is complicit in gatekeeping the circulation of LGBTQ discourses, which contributed to negative portrayals of LGBTQ Singaporeans. Even though the social movement has gained significant traction since Phillips began his fieldwork, LGBTQ activism in Singapore still operates within a government-sanctioned limit that forces activists to depoliticise their work.

Chapter 4 of I We the People: Social Protest Movements and the Shaping of American Democracy i examines both historical and contemporary stage models of social protest movements. An analysis of the civil rights movements, beginning with the Reconstruction period (1863-1877) through to the movement of 1954-1965, is used to illustrate the steps of (a) I defining change i , (b) I forming alliances i , (c) I identifying power structures i , (d) I attracting and enlisting others, and i (e) I building a plan to survive victory i . I We the People: Social Protest Movements and the Shaping of American Democracy i provides a thorough examination of how dissent and protest bring attention to oppressive social conditions and thus give rise to social movements that influence social change.

Moreover, Haydu observes, food reformers in each era may have taken different approaches in their efforts to push back against the status quo, but they shared a tendency to "denounce suspect food as unnatural." As Jeffrey Haydu points out in the very first sentence of his new book I Upsetting Food, i "it is not easy to keep up with today's contentious food politics" (1). [Extracted from the article]

Four years later, they got their wish: the open hostility of the right wing of the Indigenous movement to Correa successfully won Lasso the election. Instead, Martínez repeatedly refers to Correa's administration as a "regime." That, in a nutshell, is the lesson to be learned from anthropologist Carmen Martínez's new book on Indigenous movements in Ecuador. [Extracted from the article]
