Routledge: Invitation to Contribute to Edited Volume Proposal on the Global Green Transition
Şeyda Güdek
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to share some exciting news with you.
Professor Ramesh Chandra Das, Series Editor of the newly proposed Routledge handbook series Multidimensional Aspects of the World Economy, has invited us to prepare one of the inaugural edited volumes. We are delighted to be co-editing a volume titled: Uneven Geographies of the Global Green Transition: Power, Finance, Trade, and Environmental Politics between the Global North and South
This book aims to bring together innovative, interdisciplinary, and critical political economy analyses of how the global green transition is reshaping development trajectories, geopolitical hierarchies, financial governance, and trade relations. The volume brings a multidimensional perspective—linking climate policy, global production networks, green industrial strategies, sustainable finance, CBAM, and socio-environmental inequalities across the Global North and South.
