Reluctant Decarbonization and Militant Petrostates
Monday, May 27, 2024
Online Event
3:30 AM New York l 9:30 AM Vienna
The
Open Society Hub for the Politics of the Anthropocene
invites OSUN community members to a hybrid workshop being held at Central European University on “Reluctant Decarbonization and Militant Petrostates."
Political scientists call it the oil curse, economists call it the Dutch disease, and anthropologists call it extractivism. Hundreds of studies have proven that the petrostate is related to dictatorship, corruption, and aggression. And thousands of studies demonstrate that using oil leads to a climate crisis. Central for our survival, these two stories have been rarely told together.
While European leaders think about decarbonization as a common cause, petrostates see it as a zero-sum game or, even worse, a conspiracy aimed at depriving them of their essential profits. Some wars of this century, probably most of them, would not have happened if the invaders had no petrodollars in their sovereign funds. From Niger to Norway and from Russia to Iran, oil emissions and oil profits are jointly destroying the planet.
This workshop seeks to launch global and interdisciplinary research into the double-edged problem of decarbonization and the petrostate in comparative case studies.
