The green economy : functional domains and theoretical directions of enquiry

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
Focusing on literature on sociotechnical transitions, ecological modernisation, the ‘green’ cultural economy, and postpolitical governance, this article argues that understanding the functional and spatial heterogeneity of the green economy necessitates a multitheoretical approach. It then explores how combining branches of research on socioenvironmental governance can lead to theoretically and ontologically richer insights into the drivers, practices, and power relations within the green economy. In so doing, it responds to calls for socioeconomic research on environmental change which is neither just empirical nor bound to one theoretical outlook to the detriment of understanding the complexity of socioenvironmental governance and human–nature relations.
