Abstract

"Over the past year, the "Green New Deal" has moved from relative obscurity to front and centre of policy discussions and public debates about how to respond to the climate crisis. It has been credited with radically changing the nature of the conversation on climate change and with re-energizing the environmental movement at a critical time. The main element that all Green New Deal proposals share is that they are government-led but while they share a Keynesian interventionist economic model, they differ in other respects. This Handbook analyses the fundamentals underlying all of the Green New Deals as well as exploring the differences in emphasis and national or regional variations. It is divided into three key parts: the first part looks at the underlying economics of the Green New Deal focusing not just on the how the proposals will be costed but more significantly at how the Green New Deal offers an opportunity for a fundamental transformation of the economy. The second part will explores issues of justice which are central to many Green New Deal proposals including issues around jobs, indigenous rights, feminism. In the third part, authors will detail case studies of Green New Deal proposals at the national or regional level. This book will be an invaluable research and reference volume for students, scholars and policy-makers interested in all aspects of the Green New Deal, including economics, politics, sociology, environmental justice, geography, and environmental studies more broadly"--

Abstract

The idea of a Green New Deal was launched into popular consciousness by US Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2018. Evocative of the far-reaching ambitions of its namesake, it has become a watchword in the current era of global climate crisis. But what - and for whom - is the Green New Deal? In this concise and urgent book, Max Ajl provides an overview of the various mainstream Green New Deals. Critically engaging with their proponents, ideological underpinnings and limitations, he goes on to sketch out a radical alternative: a 'People's Green New Deal' committed to degrowth, anti-imperialism and agro-ecology. Ajl diagnoses the roots of the current socio-ecological crisis as emerging from a world-system dominated by the logics of capitalism and imperialism. Resolving this crisis, he argues, requires nothing less than an infrastructural and agricultural transformation in the Global North, and the industrial convergence between North and South. As the climate crisis deepens and the literature on the subject grows, A People's Green New Deal contributes a distinctive perspective to the debate.

It gives an updated picture of the energy transition in the East Asian countries, where the economic growth, as well as CO2 emission growth, is significant. This book focuses not only on the technological perspective of the energy transition but also on the relationship between democracy and energy transition. Readers of this book can understand what kind of international support and pressure is needed to promote the energy transition in this region. Since energy transition is needed not only for combatting climate change but also for the Green Recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, publishing this book is very helpful to promote the Green Recovery and the Green New Deal world-widely.-- Provided by publisher
