The transitions discourse in Dutch energy policy: reinvigorating ecological modernisation?
The rise of a transitions discourse in Dutch environmental policy is analysed. This new approach to environmental policy seeks radically more sustainable socio-technical systems. As such, its agenda constitutes the latest twist in attempts at ecological modernisation, aiming to decouple economic growth from harmful environmental degradation. The coalescence and influence of a transitions discourse coalition, which has helped shape national environmental policy planning in recent years, is contextualised and analysed. Its limited success in institutionalising procedures for structural change in the energy domain suggests ecological modernisation remains elusive.
