| Sumario: | Current critical junctures suggest the need for a progressive policy change in the United States. From the approach of historical institutionalism, the political possibilities of the Green New Deal as progressive political change are discussed. A case study with comparative perspective of the great progressive stages—the Progressive Era, the New Deal and the Green New Deal—is conducted in order to study the schisms, dependent political trajectories, mechanisms of reinforcement and reproduction, and political legacies of each period. Its main finding is that it is the differences in the political design, such as the ambiguity of consisting only of a resolution and its decentralized and autonomous community-based implementation mechanisms, explain the distrust of moderate sectors and the low institutional success of the Green New Deal initiative compared to initiatives of the other reformist eras. |
