We are delighted to share news of the first HESG project publication! Together with Elena Kochetkova, our team member Doubravka Ol\u0161\u00e1kov\u00e1<\/a> has put together a new forum for the Journal of Modern European History<\/em>, entitled \u2018Zero Growth, Socialist Modernity, and the Anti-Environmental Turn in Eastern Europe\u2019. The publication brings together a series of short pieces that jointly explore the historical roots of contemporary (anti-)environmental governance in Eastern Europe. Featuring work from eight scholars and cases from the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, the GDR and Yugoslavia, the forum asks how state-socialist ideas of economic growth, scientific expertise and the management of nature shaped approaches to environmental limits \u2013 and how some of these assumptions were transformed ,rather than simply abandoned after 1989. In this way, the forum connects the history of socialist modernity with present-day local tensions between economic growth, environmental governance and the green transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
