| Sažetak: | One of the most common approaches to environmental action consists in designing and implementing pilot experiments, which aim at testing new practices and organisations. These technical or socio-political innovations are then supposed to spread. However, the way such a juxtaposition of experiments is expected to lead to a global transformation of our development paths and of their environmental dimension remains quite mysterious, if not mythified. Analysing the pilot approach as a strategy of change, this article offers a concise view on what is at stake in the replication hypothesis underlying the approach. |
