Abstract
Abstract. The study discusses the links between reflexive modernity and the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. Reflexive modernity refers to the new society that reacts to changes reflexively and concerns about environmental crisis. Ecological modernization that can be accepted as a part of reflexive modernity has similar roots with the EKC theory that refers to the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality. The paper finds that the trajectory of water use in the Global North follows the trajectory of the EKC in developed countries and demonstrates the inverted U shape. This analogy can be applied to investigate the reflexive modernity in various economies.
