An Eco-Social Policy Typology: From System Reproduction to Transformation

  • Robin Schulze Waltrup

摘要

The third chapter develops an eco-social policy typology. This typology provides the conceptual framework for evaluating policies from an eco-social perspective, which in this book is applied to the OECD and World Bank. It allows for a systematic analysis of how different policy perspectives integrate environmental and social concerns while addressing the tensions and interconnections between these two domains. The chapter begins by recognising the interconnectedness as well as tensions between environmental and social policy issues. It emphasises that policies in these domains cannot be considered in isolation as they often impact and shape each other. However, both policy fields operations are often in conflict with each other. The typology, therefore, aims to capture the diverse approaches that policy actors might adopt when dealing with the integration of environmental and social concerns. It discusses the following perspectives: green growth with a subdivision of green economy and green Keynesianism, recomposing consumption and production and post-growth. The chapter emphasises the different degrees of transformative potential associated with each perspective that are partly antagonistic to each other. The green economy perspective represents a more modest approach to systemic change, while the post-growth perspective is the most transformative.
