A Driver of Green Transition or a Colonial Tailing Dump: Political Discourse on the Jadar Project
The aim of this study is to analyse the political debate surrounding the Jadar Project. It will present the development of the debate, the key actors, and the dominant discourses that formulated it.
The first section of the study is dedicated to understanding the wider context and importance of the project, both in Serbia and globally.
In the second, we will present the three stages of the development of the discourse on the Jadar Project so far. We will then go into a detailed analysis of the actors and narratives that have guided the political debate.
Finally, in the last section, we will look at the consequences of the debate on the political arena in Serbia, as well as the possible future of the discourse on this project and environmental topics in general.
