Why has East Asia emerged as the global leader in green energy
industries but - until recently - lagged on carbon emission
reduction? What is new and distinctive about East Asia's approach
to the green energy transition? And what does this approach mean
for the world? Developmental Environmentalism provides the first
comprehensive account of East Asia's green energy shift. It
highlights the powerful and symbiotic role of state ambition,
geostrategic competition, and capitalist market dynamics in driving
forward the region's greening efforts. Through an analysis of the
ambitious national strategies of China and South Korea, the authors
show how state actors have pursued a distinctively East Asian
approach to transforming their energy systems, involving first the
rapid creation of new green energy industries and then the
coordinated destruction of fossil-fuel incumbencies. This approach
- described as 'Developmental Environmentalism' - is aimed at
establishing East Asian economies as leaders in the green
industries of the future, while at the same time addressing the
pressing environmental, social and political problems associated
with the carbon-intensive industries of the past. By developing
four detailed, longitudinal case studies of green industry creation
and fossil-fuel phase out in China and Korea, the authors identify
the key successes and failures of East Asia's green shift to date
and anticipate its most likely future trajectory. Based on their
findings, the authors reject the idea that East Asia's greening
strategies are mere exercises in 'greenwashing' or fossil-fuelled
'business as usual'. Rather, there is something fundamentally
transformative underway in the region at the level of elite
ideation, strategic ambition, and policy action; the green energy
shift represents much more than continuity in Asia's erstwhile
developmental states. To execute their analysis, the authors
synthesise insights from cutting-edge Developmental State and
Schumpeterian theorising. They show how state actors in East Asia
are engaging in a sophisticated kind of economic statecraft,
strategically harnessing the capitalist market dynamics of
'creative-destruction' to advance their transformative green
ambitions through green growth. They also assess the implications
of developmental environmentalism for developed and developing
countries, and the future of the global green shift in an era of
geostrategic rivalry.
