Panels details > Panel 18P18- Two decades of analysing environmental policy discourses – lessons learnt and new perspectives SUMMARY In 2005, the Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning published the special issue “Does discourse matter? Discourse, power and institutions in the sustainability transition”. In the meantime, discourse analysis in the field of environmental policy and planning has evolved rapidly. Accelerating over the last few years, the analysis of environmental policy discourse has developed in three directions: refinement of methodologies, differentiation of concepts, and analysis of novel and emerging environmental discourses such as the Bio-Economy or the “Amazonian Soil”. However, an updated overview or assessment of these developments and their contribution to environmental policy analysis is currently missing. We are also lacking a systematic reflection on how the contributions to environmental discourse analysis have contributed to the development of the wider field of critical policy studies. Against this background, the aim of the panel is to reflect on the state of the art in the discursive analysis of environmental policy. We invite papers that (1) provide critical assessments of current attempts to advance our understanding of the role of discursive processes in environmental policy, and (2) contribute to a deeper understanding of developments in environmental policy through novel empirical insights into a broad range of old and new environmental discourses. We welcome papers that, for instance, review conceptual developments, assess or compare the contribution of single or different discursive approaches to the understanding of environmental policy. Furthermore, the panel wants to stimulate reflection on the development of environmental discourses. How significant are new discourses such as bio-economy or de-growth? Are old discourses such as environmental limits experiencing a comeback? And how are environmental discourses travelling across space and time, e.g., the uptake of the ecological modernization in China.
