http://www.identitiesjournal.edu.mk/index.php/IJPGC <p><em>Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture</em> is an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed international journal that seeks to serve as a platform for the theoretical production of Southeastern Europe and enable its visibility and an opening for international debate with authors from both the “intellectual centers” and the “intellectual margins” of the world. It is particularly interested in promoting theoretical investigations which see issues of politics, gender and culture as inextricably interrelated. It is open to all theoretical strands, to all schools and non-schools of thought without prioritizing cannons and their major figures of authority. It does not seek doctrinal consistency, but it seeks consistency in rigor of investigation which can combine frameworks of interpretation derived from various and sometimes opposed schools of thought. Our passion is one for topics rather than philosophical masters.</p> <p><em>Identities</em> is published by the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities - Skopje, North Macedonia.</p> en-US <p><em>Identities</em> is published under the following license: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

The survey focuses on four groups of questions concerning climate change, social justice, expectations from the new transition, and the public agenda. Based on these, I draw predominantly pessimistic conclusions about both the Green transition and the transition to liberal democracy preceding it, showing how the experience of the latter inevitably colors the former. I analyze the gap between possibilities and expectations for the new transition with reference to Jacques Lacan’s theorizing about the difference between need/demand and desire.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Jana Tsoneva Copyright (c) 2025 Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 http://www.identitiesjournal.edu.mk/index.php/IJPGC/article/view/582 Thu, 19 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000
