The podcast 'Planetary Choices' is created and produced by the Research Center for New Critical Politics and Governance, located at Aarhus University, Denmark. The concept of 'The Planetary' has gained increasing traction in almost all scientific disciplines. From physics, to literature, to history, law and economics — planetary thinking and policy making is taking more sophisticated shapes, amounting to an emerging new paradigm. In season 1, called "Mapping the Planetary", we map and assess the concept of the planetary, where we stand today, and in which direction planetary thinking and activism may develop in the future.  With this podcast, we also intend to explore scholarly research through an alternative venue of dissemination that allows for aural intimacy, faster publishing and full open access. As each episode contributes to a larger question investigated throughout a season, every episode becomes a data point on its own, consequently making "Planetary Choices" a place of output and on-going research. Join us and explore the big questions of our planet!

    Beyond Trade-offs: New Economics for Climate, Jobs, and Development – A Symposium

    In this new special Symposium edition of our podcast series Planetary Choices: Global Governance Beyond Neo-Liberalism, we engage with Dani Rodrik's new book, Shared Prosperity in a Fractured World: A New Economics for the Middle Class, the Global Poor, and Our Climate, alongside a panel of leading scholars: Jayati Ghosh and Marcel Fratzscher. How can we simultaneously address climate change, restore the middle class, and reduce global poverty, without sacrificing one for the other? Is the Keynesian social-democratic settlement truly exhausted, and if so, what comes next? And how do local and national strategies succeed where global governance has failed? Our guests unpack these questions, debate the trade-offs and synergies at the heart of Rodrik's "productivist" vision, and offer fresh perspectives on industrial policy, the future of democracy, and what a genuinely inclusive global economy might look like.

    From Critical Theory to Planetary Politics; Rethinking Power, Knowledge and Ecology – A conversation with Ian Manners

    For episode six of this season, “Global Governance Beyond Neoliberalism”, we had the pleasure of hosting Ian Manners, professor of political science at Lund University. Manners has decades of experience in teaching in Denmark, Britain and Sweden and is widely known for his work on normative power, European integration, and global politics. His research explores how values, identities, and political norms shape international relations and governance beyond traditional state-centered approaches.  Through his conversation with our host, Hagen Schulz-Forberg, Manners delves into the role of norms and values in global governance at a time marked by geopolitical tensions, democratic challenges, and planetary crises. This episode invites listeners to rethink the relation between Europe and the wider world, not only through a lens of institutional coordination but of global interdependence.

    Rethinking Global Governance with the Planetary Compendium – A Conversation with Jonathan Blake

    For the fifth episode of this season on “Global Governance Beyond Neoliberalism,” our host, Hagen Schulz-Forberg, had the pleasure of speaking with political scientist, Jonathan Blake. Blake is the Associate Director of the Planetary Program at the Berggruen Institute, an international network of experts focusing on developing innovative, foundational frameworks that tackle questions involving the future of global governance. Through the Planetary Program, Blake and his colleagues have developed the Planetary Compendium: a website made in collaboration with Dark Matter Labs that showcases interactive, audio-visual case-studies concerning issues of planetary governance, health, economics, ecology, and more. This episode explores some of these case-studies and navigates questions of thinking outside of the boundaries of democracy, the possible evolution of political processes, and working together towards planetary governance.  Academic Reference:  Jonathan Blake, Hagen Schulz-Forberg; Rethinking Global Governance with the Planetary Compendium—A Conversation with Jonathan Blake.

    Rethinking Russia: Transnational Perspectives on Authoritarianism, Society & Resistance – A Symposium

    In this special Symposium edition of our podcast series Beyond Neo-Liberalism, we dive into Anna Schwenck’s monograph, Flexible Authoritarianism, alongside a panel of leading scholars: Jeremy Morris, Greg Yudin, and Johanna K. Bockman.  How do ambition, loyalty, status, and inequality take shape inside an authoritarian regime? Can neoliberal aspirations thrive under authoritarian rule? And how does everyday life—and innovation—unfold within a war-driven economy? Our guests unpack these questions, debate the concepts we use to understand Russian society today, and offer fresh perspectives on authoritarianism, social change, and resistance.

    Bitcoin Nation? Assessing El Salvador’s Crypto Experiment — A Conversation with Vladimir Pacheco Cueva

    In the third episode of our new season, Global Governance Beyond Neoliberalism, we sit down with Vladimir Pacheco Cueva, Associate Professor in the Global Studies Department at Aarhus University. Drawing on research in political economy and social policy, with a particular focus on Latin America, Cueva takes us through one of the most striking economic experiments of recent years: El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin under President Nayib Bukele. Together with our host, Hagen Schulz-Forberg, the two explore what this unprecedented crypto-project means for governance, development, financial sovereignty, and everyday life in a country marked by political disruptions and environmental fragility. From the promises of innovation to the risks of deepening inequality, Cueva helps us understand how El Salvador’s Bitcoin project fits into longer histories of neoliberal reform and what its trajectory might reveal about the future of post-neoliberal politics across the region.

    Rethinking Education for Transnational Governance — A Conversation with Fabrizio Tassinari

    In the latest episode of Beyond Neo-liberalism, our host Hagen Schulz-Forberg is joined by political scientist and executive director, Fabrizio Tassinari, as we explore his work at European University Institute’s School of Transnational Governance and his works on developing new forms of diplomatic training, suitable for an age of planetary polycrisis. Throughout the episode we explore questions of what it means to educate our future diplomats in times of planetary crisis, what is left of the old forms of transnational governance and what can guide future visions of global governance.

    The Shifting Tides of Global Governance — A Conversation with Michael Zürn

    In our very first episode in our series Beyond Neo-liberalism, our host Hagen Schulz-Forberg sits down with political scientist Michael Zürn as they explore the intersections of global governance and international relations in the current political climate. The two discuss Zürn’s work with the analytical categories of NALFI (Normativity, Authority, Liberalism, Fragmentation, Inequality), democratic regression and the tensions between national democracy and transnational authorities. Are we moving beyond our traditional understandings of Global Governance? Do transnational authorities have too big of a grasp on national democracies? Are we moving towards a post-democracy understanding of international relations? If so, what will happen?

    Planetary Thought in the Early Soviet Union —A Conversation with Daniela Russ

    In the final episode of Mapping the Planetary, Daniela Russ, Junior Professor at the University of Leipzig, joins hosts Hagen Schulz-Forberg and James Quilligan to explore the fascinating intersections of energy, science, and planetary thoughts in the early Soviet Union (1917–1945). Drawing on the pioneering work of scientists Vladimir Vernadsky and Boris Veinberg, the conversation reveals how Soviet thinkers imagined planetary transformation, in both scientific and political contexts and how these early renditions of planetary thinking, still resonate in today’s debates on the environmentalism, globalism and the Anthropocene.
