Politics of Energy Transformations

Abstract

Energy systems refer not only to societal resource endowment and technological skills, but also to the nexus of production and living in a society. International, national, regional and local levels are involved in the governance of energy supply. Moreover, energy supply produces externalities like both environmental and social problems that are not only national but also transnational in nature. In dependence on the technology in question, different governance units at diverse scales are appropriate and/or the coordination of one or more levels of governance is needed in order to solve governance challenges. The Panel invites Papers that deal with these kinds of coordination challenges and that analyze challenges and opportunities for energy system transformations.
