One the eve of election day in Hungary, hot off the press at @compchange.bsky.social: Dóra Györffy on how the lack of constraints on the Hungarian government has facilitated "predatory objectives and the dominance of private over public interests." Open access! journals.sagepub.com/doi/epdf/10....

Interesting nugget from this @compchange.bsky.social paper from @nataschavanderzwan.bsky.social and vd Heide: not the largest NL bank ING, but 2nd and 3rd bank ABN AMRO and Rabobank have the most memberships of transnational sustainable finance initiatives (pdf): journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

And if you’re interested in dependent development, you’ll love the recent special issue published by @compchange.bsky.social (and guest edited by @aritassinari.bsky.social, @fbulfone.bsky.social, and Aldo Madariaga) doi.org/10.1177/1024... 13/n

Out now in Competition & Change @compchange.bsky.social “Dependent development in digital capitalism: The politics of startup policies in the new periphery” @journals.sagepub.com #polisky journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... 1/n

nice to see our climate litigation against ING has not gone unnoticed in this interesting review of CSO campaigns against banks (p.4) - too bad the article focuses on reputational issues without taking account of other impacts of campaigns journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
