#WorldSystem: "Before the crisis, 60% of south-east #Asia’s imports of crude oil & a third of its imports of gas came from the Middle East, according to the IEA.

Marxisme décolonial : changer la carte du monde

Le marxisme décolonial ne fait pas qu’ajouter la colonisation à Marx : il change le point de départ. En remettant au centre l’empire, la race, l’extraction et la périphérie, il propose une lecture mondiale du capitalisme bien différente. #Marxism #Decoloniality #AntiColonialism #WorldSystem #Capitalism Oui, un marxisme décolonial produit forcément un résultat très différent du marxisme classique dès qu’on se place à…

#WorldSystem #Biodiversity: "more than half of the impacts are attributable to #consumption in other countries. The #EuropeanUnion, #China and the #UnitedStates together account for more than 80% of these externalized impacts" https://phys.org/news/2026-06-palm-oil-coconut-soybean-species.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter
Palm oil, coconut and soybean drive more species extinction than previously thought

Oils from crops such as coconut, palm oil and soybean are used in a range of applications, from cosmetics and makeup to margarine and spreads, and from medicines to animal feed. These oil crops, as they are known, are increasingly consumed and cultivated. This has an impact on the environment. But what exactly is that impact?

#WorldSystem/#Decoupling/#Recoupling: "Import competition from China also reduces emissions from Danish companies, but #emissions in China rise significantly more, so global #emissions actually increase."
https://phys.org/news/2026-06-competition-chinese-imports-emissions-globally.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter
Competition from Chinese imports is causing CO₂ emissions to rise globally, research reveals

Danish companies emit less CO₂ when they relocate certain tasks abroad. At the same time, emissions rise correspondingly in those countries. However, global emissions increase when companies are under pressure from cheap imports from China. This is shown by new research from the University of Copenhagen.
