What types of coalitions can deliver social justice within sustainability initiatives? And how can we avoid reproducing unjust distributions of risk and responsibility in urban sustainability efforts? In this episode, Kenneth Bo Nielsen, Arve Hansen, and Manisha Anantharaman discuss these questions by engaging with Anantharaman's new book Recycling Class: The Contradictions of Inclusion in Urban Sustainability (MIT Press, 2024), a unique ethnographic exploration that links middle-class, sustainable consumption with the environmental labour of the working poor to offer a relational analysis of urban sustainability politics and practice. The focus is on Bangalore in India, but the arguments and findings have much wider resonances. Manisha Anantharaman is Assistant Professor at the Center for the Sociology of Organisations at Sciences Po in Paris. Arve Hansen is a Senior Researcher at the Centre for Development and the Environment at the University of Oslo, and co-leader of the Norwegian Network of Asian Studies. Kenneth Bo Nielsen is a social anthropologist based in Oslo, and one of the leaders of the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies. Learn more about your ad choices.

The small Indian state of Goa has witnessed a veritable land rush over many decades, with shifting state governments, leading politicians, and private investors moving in to acquire large tracts of land for a wide range of projects. But what are the drivers of land grabbing in Goa? And what are the consequences for local communities and the environment? In this episode, we discuss these questions with the authors of the recently published book The Great Goa Land Grab. Based on extensive fieldwork carried out over 15 years, The Great Goa Land Grab unpacks how political and economic interests in the state have aligned to capture predominantly agricultural land in Goa, transforming it to industrial enclaves, real estate, and infrastructure, often with decidedly negative consequences. By bringing the Goan experience into conversation with a larger literature on land politics in contemporary India, the authors show how the specific cases of land dispossession and community marginalization taking place in Goa are not unique, but follow a broader Indian, and even global, land trend. Heather Plumridge Bedi is Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania. Solano da Silva is assistant professor at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at BITS Pilani Goa. Fredrick Noronha Is the founder of the publishing house Goa1556. Kenneth Bo Nielsen is an Associate Professor at the dept. of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo and one of the leaders of the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies. Arve Hansen is a human geographer at the Centre for Development and the Environment at the University of Oslo. He also leads the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies with Kenneth Bo Nielsen.

«Europas siste diktatur» blir det kalt, landet vi tidligere kjente som Hviterussland: Belarus er landet der det hemmelige politiet fortsatt heter KGB og presidenten Lukasjenka, selv om alt tyder på at han ikke fikk flertall i valget i 2020. Her kontrollerer staten mediene og opposisjonen blir undertrykt med hard hånd. En av landets mer enn 1400 politiske fanger er menneskerettighetsaktivisten Ales Bjaljatski, som mottok Nobels Fredspris for 2022. Hvorfor vet vi så lite om dette europeiske annerledes landet? Finnes det fortsatt en opposisjon i Belarus, og er det noen muligheter for at landet kan endre kurs? Og hvilken rolle spiller egentlig Belarus i Russlands krig mot Ukraina? Ja, hva er egentlig greia med Belarus? For å hjelpe oss å forstå litt mer har vi fått med oss Darya Shut, leder for Belarusisk forening i Norge og Arve Hansen, rådgiver i Den norske Helsingforskomité. Samtalen mellom dem blir ledet av Christian Kjelstrup, sakprosaredaktør i Vigmostad og Bjørke. Arrangementet er et samarbeid mellom Nobels Fredssenter, Helsingforskomiteen , Belarusisk forening i Norge og UiO, og er en del av serien Nobel Peace Talks, som tar opp temaer knyttet til Nobels Fredspris 2022 til Ales Bjaljatski, Memorial og Center for Civil Liberties. Nobel Peace Talks er støttet av Fritt Ord, Hydro og Reitan. Medvirkende: Christian Kjelstrup, Vigmostad og Bjørke Darya Shut, leder, Belarusisk forening i Norge Arve Hansen, Rådgiver, Den Norske Helsingforskomite

In this episode, we discuss Arve Hansen's new book Consumption and Vietnam's New Middle Classes: Societal Transformations and Everyday Life (Springer, 2022). In this book, Hansen studies the dramatic changes in consumption patterns in Vietnam over the past decades, focusing on how everyday life changes in the context of rapid economic development and capitalist transformations. How does a consumer society emerge and take shape in Vietnam's socialist market economy? What is consumer socialism? Why should we study the consumption patterns of Asia's new middle classes, and are there similarities between the middle classes in Vietnam and India? To discuss these questions, we are joined by the author and Manisha Anantharaman Manisha Anantharaman, associate professor of Justice, Community and Leadership at Saint Mary's College of California in the Bay Area. She teaches and does research on the politics of sustainability, and has among many other things written extensively on the ‘environmentalism' of India's middle classes. Arve Hansen is a human geographer at the Centre for Development and the Environment at the University of Oslo, teaching and researching consumption and sustainability with particular focus on Vietnam. He also leads the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies with Kenneth Bo Nielsen.

Er det riktig å spille verk russiske verk nå, etter Russlands invasjon av Ukraina? Christian Kjelstrup, Arve Hansen, Morten Gjelten, Julie Wilhelmsen og Frode Helland i debatt.

Sultkatastrofen som kalles for holodomor er et smertefullt kapittel i Ukrainas historie og en av grunnene til det vanskelige forholdet til Russland. Nå anerkjenner EU hungerskatastrofen som skjedde for 90 år siden, som et folkemord. Arve Hansen er rådgiver i Helsingforskomiteen og forfatter av boken "Ukraina - historien, menneskene, krigen", og forklarer hva som skjedde da millioner av mennesker sultet etter feilslåtte kornavlinger på grunn av tørke - kombinert med Stalins nådeløse femårsplaner for Sovjetunionen.

What does the concept of ecological civilisation mean in practice? And how can we understand the relationship between grand visions, legal systems, green politics and development processes on the ground in contemporary China? In this episode we focus on China's environmental ambitions and its increasingly central role in efforts towards global sustainability, as well as the importance placed upon sustainable development by the Chinese Communist Party, and by Xi Jinping himself. To unpack these issues and discuss the potentials of a greener China, Arve Hansen is joined by some of Norway's leading experts on Chinese environmental politics and practice, Gørild Heggelund, Yong Zhou and Bjorn Leif Brauteseth. Bjorn Leif Brauteseth is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Development and the Environment, University of Oslo. Gørild Heggelund is Research Professor at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute.

Bjorn Leif Brauteseth is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Development and the Environment, University of Oslo. Gørild Heggelund is Research Professor at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute. Yong Zhou is a postdoctoral Fellow at the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, University of Oslo. Arve Hansen is a researcher at the Centre for Development and the Environment at the University of Oslo and one of the leaders of the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies. The Nordic Asia Podcast is a collaboration sharing expertise on Asia across the Nordic region, brought to you by the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS) based at the University of Copenhagen, along with our academic partners: the Centre for East Asian Studies at the University of Turku, and Asianettverket at the University of Oslo. We aim to produce timely, topical and well-edited discussions of new research and developments about Asia. About NIAS. Transcripts of the Nordic Asia Podcasts

What explains the uneven meatification of diets in three of Asia's core ‘emerging economies'? How and why is meat consumption changing today, and what role have American fast-food chains played? To discuss these questions and more, Helene Ramnæs, coordinator for the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies, is joined by Marius Korsnes, Kenneth Bo Nielsen and Arve Hansen. Asian diets include considerably more meat now than in the recent past, but meat is a contested issue. China and Vietnam have experienced some of the world's most dramatic meat booms but vegetarianism increases and concerns for unsafe production methods and negative health effects have made people cautious about the meat they eat. While India defies global meat trends, contemporary India is not as vegetarian as it claims, and a large beef sector exists in an uneasy relationship with Modi's hindu-nationalist regime. Marius Korsnes specialises in Science and Technology Studies at the Department for Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His work focuses on sustainable consumption and production and he is PI of the ERC project: “A Middle Way? Probing Sufficiency through Meat and Milk in China” Kenneth Bo Nielsen is a social anthropologist working on social movements and the political economy of development in India. In addition to working and teaching at the University of Oslo, he also leads the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies with Arve Hansen. Arve Hansen is a human geographer at the Centre for Development and the Environment at the University of Oslo, teaching and researching consumption and sustainability, and with a particular interest in meat and meat avoidance.

Ever tried to cross the road in Hanoi? There's no point in waiting for a gap. Close your eyes and start walking: the traffic will magically weave around you. While Vietnamese cities were once dominated by bicycles and pedestrians, the growth in motorized mobility over the past decades have been astounding. The speed with which Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have changed into hostile environments for pedestrians and cyclist is quite remarkable. Yet in mobility terms Vietnamese urban transport somehow works, largely thanks to the continuing dominance of motorbikes. In this episode, Hue-Tam Jamme and Arve Hansen discuss motorbike madness in Vietnam, and what we can learn from the combination of vibrant street life and relatively efficient transport of millions of people on two wheels. Hue-Tam Jamme is an assistant professor at Arizona State University. She studies urbanisms in transition from a comparative perspective, using a range of qualitative and quantitative methods, focusing on the lived experience of societal transformations Arve Hansen is a researcher at the Centre for Development and the Environment at the University of Oslo.

Creating jobs and providing decent employment is central to global development agendas. Indeed, Sustainable Development Goal 8 targets nothing less than decent work for all by 2030. Yet precarious—simply put poorly paid, unprotected and insecure—work is a defining feature of late capitalism, and nowhere is this more obvious than among the migrant workers in Asia whose labour largely sustains global production networks. How did the Covid-19 pandemic impact the lives and livelihoods of migrant workers in East and Southeast Asia? What kind of long term impacts is the pandemic likely to have, and what are the prospects for decent jobs in the region? In this episode Arve Hansen of the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies is joined by Dennis Arnold and Thomas Sætre Jakobsen to discuss pandemic precarity in China and Cambodia.

Rudy, Connor and Donald sit down to talk about Vietnamese political economy and the Vietnamese Communist Party with a particular focus on the period of reunification and market reforms. We discuss the formation of Vietnamese Communism in isolation, the history of Vietnam up to reunification and how that set up a very divided country for the VCP to rule over, the short planned economy period and how and why the market reforms took place. We also discuss the particularities of Vietnamese Socialism and the party's workings, as well as how much influence the world market has over society today.

In this episode, Arve Hansen talks to Jonathan London to get an update on politics and development in Vietnam. How do we make sense of the ‘socialist market economy' today, what came out of the recent party congress, how does Vietnam balance its relations to China and the US, and how does Vietnam's Covid success impact the legitimacy of the party?
