THE EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL IN THE FOCUS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

In the context of growing global environmental instability, the issue of greening economic growth has become a strategic priority for countries striving to ensure sustainable development. The European Green Deal is regarded as a key strategic initiative of the European Union, aimed at integrating ecological and economic approaches to development while simultaneously accounting for social, technological, and institutional dimensions. Its multifaceted nature encompasses a wide range of issues – from the transformation of the energy sector to resource-efficient production, changes in consumption models, the evolution of natural resource management practices, and the reinforcement of climate responsibility. In this regard, there is a growing need to explore the mechanisms of green transformation through the lens of academic research. Of particular importance is the systematic understanding of how the topic of the European Green Deal is evolving within the scientific community, which thematic directions are taking shape, how the terminological landscape is shifting, and how temporal dynamics reflect the prioritization of certain aspects over time. Identifying the leading conceptual approaches, themes, and disciplinary areas within which this issue is being studied forms an essential part of constructing a comprehensive picture of the content-related and structural characteristics of the scientific discourse. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the topic, it is appropriate to analyze it not only from an economic perspective, but also through the lens of natural, technical, and social sciences. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of how diverse academic approaches complement one another in shaping the vision of green transformation as a complex and multifaceted process. In this context, the generalization of the scientific landscape surrounding the European Green Deal emerges as a relevant task – positioning the concept at the intersection of climate policy, innovation, and a new economic logic of development. Particular attention should also be given to the extent of involvement of research institutions from different countries, as this makes it possible to trace the geography of academic engagement and identify the potential for further research in the field of international economic relations.
