Jac­ob Has­sel­balch

Jacob Hasselbalch is an Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School, working at the intersection of political economy, climate change, and sustainability transitions. His research examines how states, markets, financial systems, and expertise shape efforts to reorganize economies for decarbonization. His work focuses particularly on green economic planning, the role of expertise and professional networks, and alternative forms of economic organization, including emerging responses to the plastics crisis. More broadly, he is interested in the political, institutional, and economic dynamics that enable or constrain systemic change, and in how alternative approaches can challenge dominant paradigms and open new pathways for economic transformation.
