The Political Economy of Sustainable Energy Transitions: Institutions, Contingency and Contestations
From: Caroline Kuzemko
To: International Sustainability Transitions Conference, Sussex, 28-08-15
Outline
- An inter-disciplinary approach to conceptualising governance for sustainable energy innovations and explaining differential pace and degree of transitions
- The concept of governance we apply recognises that not all governing is done by government: multiple actors
- STT tell us a lot about how socio-technical systems operate and change; winners /losers BUT too little on contestation, policy change and broader political (macro) contexts
- New Institutionalism details on political context; how policy change: recognition that there is a problem, prove existing institutions fail and offer solutions BUT too little on relationships between governance and outcomes
- Empirical focus on Germany and UK (but not enough)
