In their contributions, the authors focus on the development of anti-capitalist commons and explore the issue of practice and politics through case studies from Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, and Africa more broadly, Austria, Germany and South Korea, ranging from peri-urban and rural agriculture to urban commons and how they manifest in the Global South as well as in the Global North. The book engages with different discourses on the commons in regard to their relevance for social change and thereby reinvigorates the political meaning of the commons. It provides an original and important approach to the topic in terms of conceptualization, detailing diverse empirical realities, and analyzing potential perspectives. In so doing, the book transcends narrow disciplinary boundaries and expands the focus to the global.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding a fresh perspective on the commons as a decisive component of alternatives, this title will be relevant to scholars and students of resource management, social movements, and sustainable development more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndreas Exner\u003c\/strong\u003e, RCE Graz-Styria, Centre for Sustainable Social Transformation, University of Graz, Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSarah Kumnig\u003c\/strong\u003e, Institute for Sociology and Social Research, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephan Hochleithner\u003c\/strong\u003e, Department of Geography, University of Zurich, Switzerland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42120206188679,"sku":"9780367693060","price":97.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/910d4795cee7b9b28ff2090b8ebe178c.webp?v=1732545816","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/capitalism-and-the-commons-just-commons-in-the-era-of-multiple-crises-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
