Der Artikel von @vapunkt.bsky.social im heutigen @derstandard.at ("Seilbahnbetreiber denken in Horizonten von drei bis fünf Jahren") entspricht meinen Erfahrungen: Der Klimawandel wird von Touristiker:innen nicht (mehr) geleugnet, führt aber auch nicht zu mehr Einsatz für den Klimaschutz.

🗞️ Below, you can find my review alongside fantastic contributions by Béla Greskovits and Daniel Šitera, as well as a response by Quinn Slobodian.

💡 It is a must read for everyone interested in intellectual history, history of (neo)liberal ideas, and the far right.

📕 I had the pleasure to be invited to review Quinn Slobodian’s new book Hayek’s Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right for the Czech Journal of International Relations.

Why do global environmental institutions multiply and persist even when they seem unable to address biodiversity loss and environmental governance failures effectively?

Our new OA article with @jacquelinebest.bsky.social in @risjnl.bsky.social tries to answer this question. 1/7

The politics of path reproduction under vulnerable climate conditions: the case of skiing infrastructure expansion in the Austrian Alps Abstract. Climate change poses risks to regional economies reliant on vulnerable infrastructure. While evolutionary economic geography highlights how estab

🏔️While local skiing infrastructure is argued to sustain the tradition of skiing - the past - for future populations, high-altitude resorts seek to sustain established economic independence and wealth prospectively as climate changes ⛰️
🧵5/6

🏞️ Sustainability acts as the key frame for these visions of the future, however, differently than one would expect - we find competing visions of sustainabilities for the future 🏂
🧵4/6

🗻 To reproduce an existing regional path through skiing infrastructure expansion under adverse conditions, actors have to articulate the past through the construction of a vision for the future, which directly respond to key issues mobilised by voices from the opposition 📣

🚠 Empirically, it investigates why certain skiing resort expand their infrastructure despite adverse climate conditions 🎿
