decrecimiento, economía ecológica, políticas ecosociales

Resumen

Un número cada vez más importante de académicas/os y activistas de Europa y más allá promueven el “decrecimiento” como reacción ante un inminente colapso ecosocial. Abogan por transiciones democráticas hacia sociedades postcapitalistas que puedan funcionar dentro de las fronteras ecológicas y, a la vez, ser socialmente equitativas. Este artículo examina qué implica el decrecimiento y realiza un balance de su situación actual como proyecto académico y político. Se sugiere que, mientras que el proyecto académico está floreciendo, el proyecto político continúa siendo marginal. Ante este panorama, se aborda el interrogante de qué sería necesario para que el proyecto político del decrecimiento cobre impulso.
