The discourse of 'green growth' has recently gained ground in
environmental governance deliberations and policy proposals. It is
presented as a fresh and innovative agenda centred on the
deployment of engineering sophistication, managerial acumen and
market mechanisms to redress the environmental and social
derelictions of the existing development model. But the green
growth project is deeply inadequate, whether assessed against
criteria of social justice or the achievement of sustainable
economic life upon a materially finite planet. This volume outlines
three main lines of critique. First, it traces the development of
the green growth discourse quaideology. It asks: what explains
modern society's investment in it, why has it emerged as a master
concept in the contemporary conjuncture, and what social forces
does it serve? Second, it unpicks and explains the contradictions
within a series of prominent green growth projects. Finally, it
weighs up the merits and demerits of alternative strategies and
policies, asking the vital question: 'if not green growth, then
what?'
