Drawing on Kampourakis’ research, Dr. Alezini Loxa and PhD candidate Mahesh Menon enter into a conversation about the political economy of green transition with a focus on the European Green Industrial Policy. They discuss with Kampourakis about the changing role of law in relation to state capitalism, the potential for democratic control over the green transition, the challenges that arise for countries in the Global South as well as the recent political backlash both in the EU and in the US to sustainability related policies.
