Strategising within diversity: the challenge of structuring

In this chapter, I will scrutinise the range and features of degrowth's plurality and, using a lens of social movement theory, discuss what movements’ internal diversity and intersectionality might involve in terms of collective identity and transformative potential. Furthermore, I will delve into the multi-dimensionality of strategy, arguing that the fostering of strategic thinking and decision-making cannot prescind from dealing with the movement’s organisational structure. I will situate this argument within the degrowth movement’s recent history, and show that the movement is facing a critical juncture, reflecting on some weaknesses and potential ways forward.
