• Transitions in pathways of human development and carbon emissions (2013, background): “Hornborg (2009) conceives these differences between groups of countries not as development stages in historical time, but ‘inequalities in societal space’.”
• Global urbanization and food production in direct competition for land: Leverage places to mitigate impacts on SDG2 and on the Earth System (2019, background): “…land with soils suitable for food production is a finite resource, land grabbing can be likened to a zero-sum game in which one agent (the land grabber) increases its national food security at the expense of the capacity for food security of the other (the land provider) (cf. Hornborg, 2009).”
• Socially sustainable degrowth as a social–ecological transformation: repoliticizing sustainability (2015, background): “For degrowth, the weakness of sustainable development as a truly transformative concept directly stems from its falsely consensual nature (Hornborg 2009).”
• Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on Exploring Social-Ecological Resilience through the Lens of the Social Sciences: Contributions, Critical Reflections, and Constructive Debate Conceptualizing power to study social-ecological interactions (2016, background): “…for how power relations shape social-ecological interactions, and vice versa, if the objective is to understand social dynamics (Nadasdy 2007, Hornborg 2009, 2013, Meadowcroft 2009, Davidson 2010, Smith and Stirling 2010, Brown and Westaway 2011, Pelling and Manuel-Navarrete 2011, Watts…”
• Resilience and disaster risk reduction: an etymological journey (2013, background): “For example, Hornborg (2009) argued that resilience thinking consistently relies on the assumption that the social order is based upon consensus, while the neoliberal capitalist system involves dispossession and exploitation, in ways that are inimical to the acquisition of safety and robust…”
