Construindo uma Nova Era de Ouro: uma análise das estratégias de inovação e sustentabilidade do Korean Green New Deal à luz dos paradigmas verdes

Abstract

This paper seeks to understand how South Korea's national development project, the Korean New Green New Deal (KGND), seeks to propel the country's economy towards a new paradigm, through the theoretical lenses of techno-economic paradigms. The goal of KGND is to be an alternative to the country's recent economic recession, as well as a way to take the country to the next level of green growth. The projects included in KGND aim at energy transition, carbon neutrality and the promotion of green industrial sectors. In this way, the main

concepts and debates that permeate the theory of techno-economic paradigms, green techno- economic paradigms and theories of South Korean development will be explained. The research

is qualitative, exploratory and descriptive in nature, with a methodology of analysis and bibliographic review. The objective was to analyze KGND through green paradigms and identify sustainable projects in KGND and how the private sector is inserted in the work. The study mapped the main projects included in the KGND, divided into four key areas. It was identified that the KGND is a project capable of propelling Korea to reach the implementation stage and, consequently, a Golden Era. In addition, the partnership between the State and the private sector in several KGND projects and, depending on the project, can be read as a stakeholder or beneficiary.
