Schedule 9th International Degrowth Conference

The degrowth movement shares many values with other left-oriented political movements and parties. Yet, until recently, the degrowth movement has been very distant from the political, or even policy arena, mainly operating within the academic community and social movements. Given the constantly shifting boundaries of political identities of left parties – social democrats, greens and the left – in this debate we want to explore experiences of exchange between the degrowth movement and institutional politics. Needless to say, most of the abovementioned parties still don't integrate post-growth into their political programs. Therefore, we want to identify convergences and divergences that currently exist between main degrowth demands and political programs (and degrowth-friendly policies). The debate will also aim to identify potential continuities and legacies of left politics which can strengthen the connection with contemporary claims of the degrowth movement.
