Interesting nugget from this @compchange.bsky.social paper from @nataschavanderzwan.bsky.social and vd Heide: not the largest NL bank ING, but 2nd and 3rd bank ABN AMRO and Rabobank have the most memberships of transnational sustainable finance initiatives (pdf): journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

Out now in Competition & Change @compchange.bsky.social “Dependent development in digital capitalism: The politics of startup policies in the new periphery” @journals.sagepub.com #polisky journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... 1/n
first page of "Dependent development in digital capitalism: The politics of startup policies in the new periphery." abstract: As digital technology’s economic importance increases, policymakers pivot to supporting startups – new, small, high-risk firms that produce technological innovation. Tracing the passage of startup policies in Brazil and Spain between 2014 – 2022, this article argues that startup policies do little to reduce peripheral countries’ dependence on the core. In each case, startups advocated for these policies by relying on financial and organizational resources from the giant US-based technology firms known as “Big Tech.” The article makes three contributions to the framework of dependent development. First, it reinforces existing observations that dependence on Big Tech extends beyond the Global South. Second, it revives political analysis of dependency, exploring the political conditions for economic development in the periphery. Lastly, it shows how startups’ political dependence on Big Tech implies important limits on startups’ ability to lead peripheral economies out of dependence on the core.

nice to see our climate litigation against ING has not gone unnoticed in this interesting review of CSO campaigns against banks (p.4) - too bad the article focuses on reputational issues without taking account of other impacts of campaigns journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
