Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This book elucidates what it means to transition to alternative sources of energy and discusses the potential for this energy transition to be a more democratic process. The book dynamically describes a recent sociotechnical study of a number of energy transitions occurring in several countries - France, Germany and Tunisia, and involving different energy technologies - including solar, on/off-shore wind, smart grids, biomass, low-energy buildings, and carbon capture and storage. Drawing on a pragmatist tradition of social inquiry, the authors examine the consequences of energy transition processes for the actors and entities that are affected by them, as well as the spaces for political participation they offer. This critical inquiry is organised according to foundational categories that have defined the energy transition - "renewable" energy resources, markets, economic instruments, technological demonstration, spatiality ("scale") and temporality ("horizon(s)"). Using a set of select case studies, this book systematically investigates the role these categories play in the current developments in energy transitions. Inhalt: Introduction: From "The Energy Transition" to "Energy transitions in-the-making" -- Chapter 1: Re-materializing energy transition processes -- Chapter 2: Economizing the Energy Transition -- Chapter 3: The Politics of Policy Instruments -- Chapter 4: The Technological Demonstration at the core of the Energy Transition -- Chapter 5: (Dis)placing or the spatialities the energy transition processes -- Chapter 6: (De)populating or the temporalities of energy transition processes -- Conclusion |
