Launched in September 2000, the Keele European Parties Research Unit (KEPRU) was the first research grouping of its kind in the UK. It brings together the hitherto largely independent work of Keele researchers focusing on European political parties, and aims: • to facilitate its members' engagement in high-quality academic research, individually, collectively in the Unit and in collaboration with cognate research groups and individuals in the UK and abroad; • to hold regular conferences, workshops, seminars and guest lectures on topics related to European political parties; • to publish a series of parties-related research papers by scholars from Keele and elsewhere; • to expand postgraduate training in the study of political parties, principally through Keele's MA in Parties and Elections and the multinational PhD summer school, with which its members are closely involved; • to constitute a source of expertise on European parties and party politics for media and other interests. The Unit shares the broader aims of the Keele European Research Centre, of which it is a part. KERC comprises staff and postgraduates at Keele who are actively conducting research into the politics of remaking and integrating Europe.

Combining the ideas of feminism, peace, nonviolence, ecology (environmental protection) and social justice, she has managed to reconcile these seemingly opposing ideas and merge them into one specific type of ideology that was the guiding idea of the German Green Party until the mid-nineties of the last century.

    Int. J. Green Economics, Vol. 1, Nos. 1/2, 2006 201 Green economics: an introduction and research agenda Derek Wall Goldsmiths College, University of London New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Green economics: An introduction and research agenda, examines the historical evolution of green economics, a discourse which is marked by antipathy to the foundational assumptions of conventional market based economics. Green opposition to growth and the market is identified along with values of ecological sustainability, social justice, decentralisation and peace. To move beyond a critical account, green economics, as a discipline, needs to establish a research agenda based on: 1 examining global political economy 2 developing forms of regulation beyond the market and the state 3 examining the transition to such an alternative economy. Keywords: green economics; global political economy; regulation; transition; economic growth; anti-capitalism; Marx; open source; usufruct; commons. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Wall, D. (2006) ‘Green economics: an introduction and research agenda’, Int. J. Green Economics, Vol. 1, Nos. 1/2, pp.201–214. Biographical notes: Derek Wall teaches Political Economy at Goldsmiths College, University of London in the Politics Department. His PhD, ‘The Politics of Earth First! UK’ was completed in 1998. He has published six books on green economics including, most recently, Babylon and Beyond: The Economics of Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Globalist and Radical Green Movements (Pluto 2005). He is a long standing eco-socialist and the founder of the Association of Socialist Greens. He is a member of International Zen Association. His next book, Shopping Without Money, will look at a wide variety of non-monetary forms of economic regulation.

  • Derek Wall, Economics After Capitalism
    Economics After Capitalism: A Guide to the Ruins and a Road to the Future By Derek Wall, Pluto Press, 2015. Reviewed by David Parker IN 2013, GREG Mankiw, former economics adviser to George W. Bush and currently Professor of Economics at Harvard, published a paper titled (without irony) ‘Defending the one percent’.1 In this paper Mankiw wrote ‘It is, I believe, hard to square the rhetoric of 184 Counterfutures 1 the Left with the economist’s standard framework’.2 Mankiw takes the standard neoclassical economic framework as a set of universal objective truths, unquestioned and unquestionable. The Left’s analysis (I prefer the word to ‘rhetoric’) is rejected because it does not conform to this set of supposed truths. Well there’s a surprise. It does not seem to have occurred to Mankiw that there might just be a rather significant logical flaw in this one- sided inquiry. His determined unwillingness to consider whether the problem he sought to expose may conceivably lie within the unstated assumptions of neoclassical economics also comes as no surprise. But it could explain why a group of students walked out of Mankiw’s classroom, dissatisfied with what they described as the ‘overly conservative bias in the course.’3 The same year that Mankiw’s paper appeared, another group of disgruntled economics students at the University of Manchester formed the Post Crash Economics Society (Inman, 2013).4 They too were unhappy with their course: they were taught neoclassical economics as if it were the only theory in town. Their course did not address their world of global fnancial crisis and austerity, and their lecturers did not fnd time to consider alternative views from economists such as Keynes, let alone any Marxist critique.

  • The Green Party of Germany: Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen [PDF]
    THE GREEN PARTY OF GERMANY BÜNDNIS 90 / DIE GRÜNEN 1. Historical Context and democratic structure of Germany The political structures that existed before a united German state emerged were dominated by relatively small political entities, which enjoyed varying degrees of political autonomy. The Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany) is formally only 70 years old. Unsurprisingly, this history of federalism is represented in the Bundesrepublik as well. Today we have 16 federal states. This decentralization is one of the most important parts of our democracy. Berlin, as the capital, was and is the best symbol of Germany’s colourful past. West Berlin’s location deep within the territory of Eastern Germany made it an island of the Bundesrepublik (Western Germany). West Berlin has had a very special phase after WWII that was deeply intertwined with the Cold War. With the end of the Cold War, the two German states the German Democratic Republic or GDR (East Germany) and Bundesrepublik finally became a united state again. Today, Berlin with its 3.6 million inhabitants, is Germany’s biggest city, its capital and the place to be for culture, arts, lifestyle, politics and science. Germany’s democratic system is a federal parliamentary republic with two chambers: the Bundestag (Germany’s parliament) and the Bundesrat (the representative body of the federal states). Germany’s political system is essentially a multi-party system, which includes a 5% threshold (parties representing recognised national minorities, for example Danes, Frisians, Sorbs and Romani people are exempt from the 5% threshold, but normally only run in state elections).
