Session 3: Paradigms and Practices of Development

Against the background of climate change and resource scarcity concepts like „post-growth“ and „green growth“ have shaped debates about practices and consequences of development for long. These debates are also relevant for how we think about Ukraine’s reconstruction and economic development in other countries in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. This panel will analyse the development concepts and practices underlying main strategies for Ukraine’s reconstruction, on one hand, and China’s engagement in Kazakhstan’s energy transition, on the other hand, and reveal potential conflicts between programmatic ambition and actual implementation.
