E-Books →The Social Frontiers of Energy Transition

The Social Frontiers of Energy Transition introduces readers to the dynamic social processes that underlie shifts toward sustainable energy futures. Through diverse theoretical reflections and case studies, this book highlights how the energy transition intersects with issues of political representation, decision-making structures, and the equitable distribution of benefits and burdens associated with energy change. By placing the energy transition within wider socio-political contexts, this work challenges purely technical or economic approaches and emphasizes the fundamentally social nature of energy transition. The book is a useful resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking a more nuanced understanding of how energy change is negotiated, resisted, and realized across different settings.
