"This paper discusses the recent palm oil expansion as a multiple crisis of climate change, biodiversity
loss, and (failed) development. It draws on recent research on the Malaysian 'Palm Oil
Industrial Complex' and on transnational campaign coalitions around palm oil to explore the
transnational dimensions of the palm oil crisis. It argues that a new campaign coalition around
the issue of agrofuel policies in the European Union has emerged that links social and environmental
struggles in Indonesia and Europe. This new transnational activism not only rejects the
palm oil development paradigm, but also points to possible alternative development futures." (author's abstract)... view less

"Dieser Beitrag analysiert die gegenwärtige Palmölexpansion in Südostasien als multiple Krise von
Klimawandel, Biodiversitätsverlust und (gescheiterter) Entwicklung. Forschungen zum malaysischen
'Palmöl-industriellen Komplex' und zu transnationalen Kampagnenkoalitionen um das
Thema Palmöl werden herangezogen, um die transnationalen Dimensionen der Palmölkrise zu
skizzieren. Es wird gezeigt, dass eine neue Kampagnenkoalition gegen die Agrotreibstoffpolitik
der Europäischen Union entsteht, die soziale und umweltbezogene Bewegungen in Indonesien mit
europäischen Netzwerken verbindet. Diese transnationale Kampagne lehnt das Palmöl-Entwicklungsparadigma
ab und zeigt mögliche Alternativen auf." (Autorenreferat)... view less
