生态民主的批判环境政治理论（EPT）出现于20世纪90年代，当时自由民主和世界主义似乎正在兴起。四分之一个世纪后，随着两者在西方中心地带的衰落，一种新的生态民主主义出现了，反映了批判规范视野、焦点和方法的重大转变。第一次迭代试图批判并从制度上扩展民主的坐标--空间、时间、社区和机构--以使它们与世界性的生态和民主想象更紧密地结合起来，而第二次迭代则从更批判的社区主义视角，通过日常物质实践和地方参与式民主将生态和民主联系起来。生态民主每次迭代的各自优点和问题都被指出，它们之间的互补性和紧张关系被证明在维护理论和方法论多元化以及增强可持续发展和多方面民主的前景方面富有成效。
The critical environmental political theory (EPT) of ecological democracy emerged in the 1990s when liberal democracy and cosmopolitanism appeared to be on the rise. A quarter of a century later, as both went into decline in the western heartland, a new iteration of ecological democracy has emerged, reflecting a significant shift in critical normative horizons, focus and method. Whereas the first iteration sought to critique and institutionally expand the coordinates of democracy - space, time, community and agency - to bring them into closer alignment with a cosmopolitan ecological and democratic imaginary, the second has connected ecology and democracy through everyday material practices and local participatory democracy from a more critical communitarian perspective. The respective virtues and problems of each iteration of ecological democracy are drawn out, and the complementarities and tensions between them are shown to be productive in maintaining theoretical and methodological pluralism and enhancing the prospects for sustainability and a multifaceted democracy.
