Planetary Choices

The podcast 'Planetary Choices' is created and produced by the Research Center for New Critical Politics and Governance, located at Aarhus University, Denmark. The concept of 'The Planetary' has gained increasing traction in almost all scientific disciplines. From physics, to literature, to history, law and economics — planetary thinking and policy making is taking more sophisticated shapes, amounting to an emerging new paradigm. In season 1, called "Mapping the Planetary", we map and assess the concept of the planetary, where we stand today, and in which direction planetary thinking and activism may develop in the future. With this podcast, we also intend to explore scholarly research through an alternative venue of dissemination that allows for aural intimacy, faster publishing and full open access. As each episode contributes to a larger question investigated throughout a season, every episode becomes a data point on its own, co

  The Glocal Challenge: Distributional Politics and the Global South – A Conversation with Federica Genovese

  Jul 26, 202657 minS2

  In this episode of Planetary Choices, we sit down with Federica Genovese , Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Oxford University , to explore the tangled relationship between climate politics, global power, and the future of democracy. During the episode, Federica takes us from the negotiating rooms of the UN to the coal-dependent communities of Indonesia and Brazil, unpacking how fossil fuel interests, emerging economies, and geopolitical rivalries are reshaping the climate agenda. We discuss the rise of climate realism, the impact of Trump's return to the White House, and China's paradoxical role as both carbon giant and green energy powerhouse. And we ask: can democracy still deliver on climate, or do we need to wait for the next window of opportunity?

  Beyond Trade-offs: New Economics for Climate, Jobs, and Development – A Symposium

  Jul 12, 20261h 8mS2

  In this new special Symposium edition of our podcast series Planetary Choices: Global Governance Beyond Neo-Liberalism , we engage with Dani Rodrik's new book , Shared Prosperity in a Fractured World: A New Economics for the Middle Class, the Global Poor, and Our Climate , alongside a panel of leading scholars: Jayati Ghosh and Marcel Fratzscher. How can we simultaneously address climate change, restore the middle class, and reduce global poverty, without sacrificing one for the other? Is the Keynesian social-democratic settlement truly exhausted, and if so, what comes next? And how do local and national strategies succeed where global governance has failed? Our guests unpack these questions, debate the trade-offs and synergies at the heart of Rodrik's "productivist" vision, and offer fresh perspectives on industrial policy, the future of democracy, and what a genuinely inclusive global economy might look like.
