Abstract

The dynamics of International Economy and Politics is strongly shaped by the industrial revolution an era has. A few decades ago, the dominant industry was mining industry. In comparison to the mining industry, the contemporary green industry is more sustainable and environmental friendly. The green industry is used often in the world of developmental policy, hence the shift from the unsustainable policies towards the more sustainable ones is a very significant change in the modern history. The shift can be seen in the ratification of Paris D’accord and the governments’ official statements of their commitment to be a part of Sustainable Development Goals. The trend of green industry is caused by the public awareness of its necessity, and therefore the trend creates a huge market for entrepreneurs and job opportunities. However, the implication of the green industry is not always positive due to amount of reasons. For instance, the U.S market was getting better when Trump administration announced their withdrawal from the Paris D’accord, and therefore in some cases the absence of green industry results in positive economic outcome which implies that the presence of green industry can result in negative economic outcome. Besides the economic implication, the rise of green industry also impacts other sectors including the political sector. The green industry and sustainable development that once was a second-tier political issue has now entered the main political stage. The implication of green industry as one of the main political issues results in the possibility of politicization of a necessity that green industry is. In this paper, the author(s) will try to understand the gap of what theoretically ought to happen and what really is happening in regards of green industry rising trend and its implication via qualitative methodology.
