Environmental politics currently fails to achieve global environmental health, marked by unmet targets and ongoing losses of biodiversity and resources. The authors argue that the prevailing 'dramaturgical regime' leads to inevitable failure. This regime, dominated by ecological modernization, relies on the belief in technological and market solutions to environmental crises. Policymakers define goals and targets based on value-neutral scientific 'facts', constraining the political imagination and reproducing failures within the system. The book emphasizes the urgent need to rethink how environmental politics is conceptualized and performed to foster genuine alternative visions.
At the heart of the dramaturgical regime is ecological modernization, embodying the conviction that technological and market-based solutions can resolve environmental crises.
The concept of a 'captured future' brilliantly illustrates how environmental politics is restricted, ultimately reproducing its own failures and stifling imagination for alternatives.
