Description
In doing Discourse Analysis in Governance and Public Policies (Fischer, 2003), Multi-Method Qualitative Critical Discourse Analysis (Nielson & Nørreklit, 2009; Alejandro & Zhao, 2023) has been adopted to the focus of European discourse studies (Blommaert, & Bulcaen, 2000). This contribution looks at the conceptualisation and operationalisation of JGT as matters of multi-level meta-governance in a Pan- European perspective on the expected transitions of the EU (Matti, et al, 2023). Considering the sensitivity and uncertainty in using document and discourse analysis (Gee & Green, 1998; Zeegers & Barron, 2015) as an investigative tool to engage critically with issues of participation, power dynamics, social justice, and ideologies (Johnson & McLean, 2020) and for understanding participatory environmental governance (Ernst, 2019) or spatial planning and territorial governance in institutional conceptualisations and operationalisations, it is fundamental to work with original language texts as it is inaccurate to properly reveal how policies are conceptualised and operationalised if the analysis are based fundamentally on translations as it becomes a matter of paraphrasing to some extent. This research has adopted the qualitative analysis to reveal regularities or irregularities across vast amounts of analysed documents; highlighting which specific sections of the TJTP, NECP, NLTS of each MS corpus might have included the term Just Green Transitions or any of its conceptual combinations (Shaker & Berisha, 2024 forthcoming) are found in the text, and how the TJTP relate to the such notions: Green Transition, Just Transition, Governance.
