本論文は、ブルガリアとギリシャの石炭依存地域におけるグリーン・デジタル移行の実態を、24件のインタビューと政策文書分析に基づき比較検討する。移行は一体的ではなく非対称に進行し、グリーン移行が支配的でデジタル移行は分離している。ガバナンスは中央集権的で、再訓練プログラムは資金吸収手段に過ぎず、再生可能エネルギー事業は質の高い雇用や地域所有権を生んでいない。移行は脱工業化の新たな様態として機能している。
English
This paper compares the twin green and digital transitions in coal-dependent regions of Bulgaria and Greece, based on 24 interviews and policy analysis. Transitions are asymmetric, with green dominating while digital remains detached. Governance is centralized, retraining serves as fund absorption, and renewable projects generate neither quality jobs nor community ownership. Transitions function as a renewed modality of deindustrialization.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の石炭依存地域（例：北海道、九州）や再生可能エネルギー導入地域における公正な移行の議論に示唆を与える。中央集権的ガバナンスや雇用創出の課題は、日本の地域政策にも共通する点があり、SSBJやGX推進法に基づく地域移行の設計に参考となる。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global just transition scholarship by providing empirical evidence from Southeastern Europe, highlighting the gap between EU policy architecture and local realities. It underscores the need for democratic governance and community ownership in transition processes, relevant for regions worldwide facing decarbonization.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Twin green and digital transitions (TTs) are framed as mutually reinforcing pathways toward climate neutrality and economic modernisation. However, local realities in peripheral, coal regions in Southeastern Europe (SEE) indicate a more complex and contested picture. The paper traces how TTs are shaped, perceived, negotiated, and implemented in two historically lignite-dependent areas, Stara Zagora (Southeast Region, Bulgaria) and Kozani (Western Macedonia, Greece), through qualitative comparative research drawing on 24 semi-structured interviews with energy workers, institutional stakeholders, local government representatives, and industry actors, conducted between June and October 2025, triangulated with statistical, institutional, and policy documentation. The conceptualisation integrates labour regimes, Varieties of Capitalism, and Europeanisation, while the analysis examines divergent local pathways produced by common European policy architecture. The findings indicate that TTs are not experienced nor understood as unified synergistic agendas but as asymmetric and differentiated processes, with green transition dominating the discourse while digital transition remains detached from the materialised understandings of transition. Governance is perceived as centralised and distant, labour market interventions such as retraining programmes serve as fund absorption mechanisms, while renewable energy projects generate neither quality employment nor community ownership. Instead of transformative processes, TTs in both cases function as a renewed modality of deindustrialisation. The paper moves from empirical findings of local transition realities to normative arguments about the democratic governance conditions that just transition requires.
