Abstract

Post-growth economies - (not) a topic for economic geography? While mainstream economic geography is increasingly doing research on green manufacturing and services, its conceptual approaches merely continue relying on traditional growth paradigms. The paper confronts the partly neo-liberal discourses on the “green economy” and “smart growth” with the more critical contributions on post-growth economies. The article reveals potential research topics and opportunities for both empirical and conceptual contributions economic geographers could feed into the broader academic and societal debates on economic transition and post-growth paradigms.
