Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Environmental politics 'as we know it' cannot deliver. Despite all efforts, politics is unable to bend the ecological trends. Maarten A. Hajer and Jeroen Oomen argue that this is because environmental politics is 'captured'. This capture doesn't just express itself in lobbying or a lack of political will, but in a capture of the imagination: we seem unable to imagine futures that are meaningfully different from the present. Examining environmental politics as dramareveals how all actors play their particular roles in this capture: scientists funnel narrow policy futures through their models; activists adopt politically expedient language; and policymakers lookfor safe, technologically-sound 'win-win' solutions. All are captured in a regime of ecological modernization that entertains too-narrow a solution space. For Hajer and Oomen, this is cause for concern: we have entered 'a radical age' in which persistent policy failure leads to increased suggestions to engage with speculative geoengineering technologies in a desperate attempt to safeguard the future. On the other hand, they point at the growing societal backlash against environmentalpolicies.Yet in the third part of the book, discourse and dramaturgical analysis appear as a reason for hope, sketching an alternative perspective on environmental politics. It suggeststhat a new, more cultural approach to environmental politics could have more leverage on the societal imagination. Combining this with the formulation of new discourses and using alternative 'dramaturgies of change', Captured Futures highlights how to find more effective and more inspiring ideas about how to approach the future and, ultimately, liberate environmental politics. In this radical age, environmental politics 'as we know it' cannot deliver. To change this, Maarten A. Hajer and Jeroen Oomen suggest a new, more cultural approach to environmental politics with new discourses and alternative 'dramaturgies of change', to focus on more inspiring ideas about the future to liberate environmental politics.
