Adapting ecological modernisation to the Australian context
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-19, 17:13 authored by Howes, M, McKenzie, M, Gleeson, B, Gray, R, Jason ByrneJason Byrne, Daniels, PThis article uses a broad range of ecological modernisation (EM) literature to derive five core theoretical themes: technological innovation; engaging with economic imperatives; political and institutional change; transforming the role of social movements; and discursive change. These themes are then developed into an analytical framework and adapted to suit the Australian context. The underlying argument is that while key elements of weak EM can be found in most environmental and sustainability policies, stronger versions have more transformative potential. Care must be taken, however, in transplanting the theory from the European political and economic environment to the Australian context.
