La modernisation écologique en action : les promesses à l’aune de leurs contradictions internes
This introductory article to the Ecological Modernization special issue begins with the observation that, when it comes to transitions, ecological modernization projects are often the ones being implemented. This justifies studying these projects in their own right. An analysis of what is involved in the concept of ecological modernization brings it back to the status of a promise, which is part of a relationship of both continuity and rupture with modernity. The articles in this issue are examined in light of this promise. These projects reveal the internal tensions within ecological modernization and show that, while it is continuously being renegotiated and hybridized, and despite suffering from significant internal limitations and criticisms, these projects appear to be united by their ability to strengthen the most powerful actors through compromises and minimal alignments. These compromises often lead to strong deviations from the promise and, ultimately, from the objectives of energy transition.
