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.
