Review: The Documerica Project (documentary review)
This is an engaging, visually arresting film that skillfully interweaves archival imagery, social commentary, interviews and verité footage. It serves both as a record of a past moment and a call to reflect on the unfinished work of environmental stewardship.

The Securitization of Minerals in the EU: Why Europe is Not Immune to the Resource Curse
This article examines how access to mineral raw materials in the EU has been transformed through a process of securitization over the last two decades. What was once mainly a matter of economic policy and trade has been reframed—through narratives constructed by industrial lobbies and political allies—as an existential issue for European security and survival.

The Western Mythos – Our Monster’s Spawn: Part I
Yes, the West has been subjected to extensive critique. But I will show that such critiques rarely reach its core nature and are more often absorbed, neutralized, and ultimately survived by the system itself.

Rising to the Challenge of the Sociopolitical-Environmental-Economic Polycrisis
None of us gets to choose the era we live through or to control a whole lot about the world we live in. But we should strive to rise to the challenge of the situation we are confronted with, by doing what we can to make our communities, our country, and our world as livable (and worth living in) as we can.

The Obscenities of Inequality: Trading Game, by Gary Stevenson
The link between income inequality and democratic erosion has been well established but little policy action taken to address it. Fortunately. Gary Stevenson has thought a lot about what’s more important than the few winning, and is among those doing something about the gap.

Weak signals of the Venezuela war
Like Russia’s frontline blood banks, the Venezuelan bond trade signalled that the preceding furore was headed in a specific direction. And in the increasingly chaotic, ill-defined mess of multipolar politics and climate chaos, reliably finding which ‘weak signals’ matter—and which signals are just noise—will be vital for navigating what comes next.

Ditching Dualism #6: Maybe Monism?
The idea that we are stardust, and made of the same stuff that all the plants, animals, and Earth itself contain is a very unifying truth. Everybody plays by the same rules.

Managing Water Differently: Algeria Facing Hydrological Extremes
What if, in Algeria, water were no longer seen solely as a scarce resource to exploit or a threat to control, but as an ecological and economic capital to preserve and develop?
