• Geographies of energy transition: Space, place and the low-carbon economy (2013, background): “There is already some evidence that a process of ‘deglobalisation’ may be underway in parts of the food sector, in response to rising fuel prices and a range of consumer concerns that include ‘food miles’ and a desire to support ‘local’ production (Bailey and Wilson, 2009; North, 2010).”
• Grassroots Localisation? The Scalar Potential of and Limits of the ‘Transition’ Approach to Climate Change and Resource Constraint (2013, background): “It stands against neoliberal visions of a deregulated, neoliberal economy based on free trade underpinned by cheap fossil fuels and externalised emissions (North, 2010a).”
• Socially sustainable degrowth as a social–ecological transformation: repoliticizing sustainability (2015, background): “…of ‘militant particularism’ (Harvey 1996): radical localizers do not argue against connections out of the locality per se (such as in the form of networks), but argue against reification of connections as always inevitable and good, thus emphasizing the ‘materiality’ of scale (North 2005, 2010).”
• The transition movement and food sovereignty: From local resilience to global engagement in food system transformation (2014, unknown): “While many initiatives share elements of a relocalisation agenda (Bailey et al., 2010; North 2010) others may place greater store on carving out spaces of contextual autonomy within which to formulate trajectories of resistance and creation in performing the economy otherwise (DiVito Wilson, 2012).”
