| Description | Positive aspects of the recent changes have been described by academic observers as evidence of a process of 'ecological modernisation' (EM), although their uses of the term vary considerably in scope and meaning. Following discussion of the distinctive uses of EM, this chapter aims to propose a typology for ecological modernisation which emphasises the normative dimensions of the term. In different ways, the types of are presented as contributing to, or constituting, a unilinear path to ecological modernity. EM has been used narrowly to describe technological developments with environmentally beneficial outcomes — such as chlorine-free bleaching of pulp for paper and more fuel-efficient cars. M.A. Hajer predominantly regards EM as a policy discourse which assumed prominence around the time of the European Community's Third Action Plan for the Environment and, more explicitly still, the 1984 OECD Conference on Environment and Economics.
