SORU:

How would you define ecological modernization?


CEVAP:

The second alternative of greening capitalism is ecological modernization. It is also a new variation of sustainable development that leads countries to protecting the environment (Carter, 2007: 227). However, both concepts “sustainable development” and “ecological modernization” are controversial topics for the scholars’ works in the field. While “Shallow Environmentalist”
scholars argue that sustainable development can be the solution for many environmental problems, Green Theorists object to this idea again. As long
as Shallow Environmentalists, like liberals, keep their anthropocentric view when dealing with the environment, it continues to lead them to lack of questioning the aim of human progress (Steans, Pettiford, Diez, & El-Anis, 2010: 221).
