Developmental Environmentalism: State Ambition and Creative Destruction in East Asia’s Green Energy Transition de Elizabeth Thurbon

Developmental Environmentalism: State Ambition and Creative Destruction in East Asia’s Green Energy Transition

Autor Elizabeth Thurbon, Sung-Young Kim, Hao Tan, John A Mathews
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mai 2023

Ne-a atras atenția modul în care lucrarea Developmental Environmentalism reușește să demonteze mitul conform căruia politicile ecologice ale Chinei și Coreei de Sud sunt simple exerciții de imagine. Apreciem rigoarea cu care autorii, printre care se numără Elizabeth Thurbon și John A Mathews, prezintă instrumentele practice ale acestei transformări: cadre de reglementare ambițioase, șabloane de politici industriale verzi și mecanisme de stat prin care 'distrugerea creativă' este utilizată strategic pentru a înlocui vechile industrii bazate pe combustibili fosili. Dacă Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia de Fumikazu Yoshida v-a oferit cadrul teoretic al conceptului de creștere verde, această carte oferă instrumentele practice și studiile de caz longitudinale care explică mecanica internă a tranziției.

Remarcăm o evoluție clară față de lucrările anterioare ale autorilor. În timp ce în Developmental Mindset – The Revival of Financial Activism in South Korea, Elizabeth Thurbon analiza modul în care statul intervine în piețele financiare pentru a stimula dezvoltarea, în Developmental Environmentalism focusul se mută pe o formă sofisticată de diplomație economică ('economic statecraft'). Nu mai vorbim doar de supraviețuirea statului dezvoltator, ci de reinventarea lui sub forma unui actor ecologic ambițios care folosește rivalitatea geostrategică pentru a domina piețele viitorului. Tonul este unul autoritar, ancorat în date despre capacitatea statului de a coordona piața capitalistă spre obiective de mediu, fără a sacrifica competitivitatea economică.

De ce să citești această carte

Veți învăța cum un stat poate forța tranziția energetică prin mecanisme de 'distrugere creativă', nu doar prin subvenții. Este o lectură esențială pentru specialiștii în politici publice și economie politică care doresc să înțeleagă de ce Asia de Est a devenit centrul de greutate al tehnologiilor verzi. Câștigați o perspectivă pragmatică asupra modului în care rivalitatea geopolitică poate accelera, paradoxal, decarbonizarea globală.

Despre autor

Elizabeth Thurbon este conferențiar universitar în relații internaționale la University of New South Wales, Australia. Expertiza sa se concentrează pe economia politică internațională a schimbărilor tehno-industriale, cu un interes particular pentru Coreea de Sud și regiunea Asiei de Nord-Est. În lucrările sale, Thurbon explorează reziliența statului dezvoltator în fața globalizării, analizând modul în care mentalitățile strategice ale elitelor politice modelează succesul economic și, mai recent, tranziția către sustenabilitate prin inovație industrială.

Descriere

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.
