Hajer博士的开创性研究为更好地理解环境冲突开辟了道路，展示了语言如何被视为塑造我们对环境政治真正意义的看法，以及这些看法如何在国家之间存在差异。作者指出，“生态现代化”作为环境政治语言中的一个新概念的出现和日益增长的政治重要性。这一概念已经取代了1970年代的对立辩论，强调环境政策对经济现代化和刺激技术创新的机会。结合抽象的社会理论和详细的实证分析，马丁·哈耶尔在英国和荷兰的酸雨争议的详细分析说明了生态现代化的社会和政治动力。最后，他反思了未来几年环境政治的制度挑战。
Dr Hajer's path-breaking study opens the way for a better understanding of the environmental conflict, showing how language can be seen to shape our view of what environmental politics is really about and how those perceptions can differ between countries. The author identifies the emergence and increasing political importance of'ecological modernization'as a new concept in the language of environmental politics. This concept, which has come to replace the antagonistic debates of the 1970s, stresses the opportunities of environmental policy for modernizing the economy and stimulating the technological innovation. Combining abstract social theory with detailed empirical analysis, Martin Hajer illustrates the social and political dynamics of ecological modernization in a detailed analysis of the acid rain controversies in Great Britain and the Netherlands. He concludes by reflecting on the institutional challenge of the environmental politics in the years to come.
