Just got an academic paper published in the esteemed British Journal of Industrial Relations. I critically assess the influential hypothesis of a neoliberal trend in IR systems, and find that it is not convincing in the Swedish case. Open source!

Call me sour, but EVERY mention of this "victory" should acknowledge that it's funded entirely by the profits of ongoing fossil-fuel production.
Since the IEA said "no more new oil and gas fields if we are to hit net zero by 2050" in 2021, Norway has issued >150 new production licenses.

This research shows that rich countries are responsible for massive deforestation embodied in their consumption. On a per capita basis, Canada is responsible for 15x more deforestation than China, the USA is responsible for 40x more deforestation than India, etc.
