We assembled a total of 8 papers, starting with our introduction. Here we argue that IR scholarship has paid very little attention to post-growth even though critical takes on the politics of economic growth are not rare. /2

Next up is Lorenzo Fioramonti, who extends earlier work on beyond GDP by looking at three post-growth approaches: (1) steady-state economy, (2) degrowth & (3) well-being economy. It is a nice overview of the debates from a theoretical-conceptual vantage point. /3

Dahlia Simangan then takes us into the hypothetical world of post-growth peacebuilding. The paper reveals how most peacebuilding is grounded in the pursuit of development through growth. /4

@bentleyallan.bsky.social envisages "a world after growth", indicating how industrial policy of a green state might get us there. A very timely contribution given the recent renaissance of industrial policy more broadly. /5

Rajeswari Raina & @mbhrishabh.bsky.social argue for post-growth agrifood systems as a way of liberation from industrialised agriculture, which is both socially and ecologically problematic. They underline that new bodies of knowledge are needed for such a shift. /6

Chukwumerije Okereke challenges degrowth proponents by contending that green growth is the best path for African countries given its small contribution but huge exposure to climate change. For Okereke, climate justice comes via green growth in this region. /7
