Political Economies of Energy Transition Hochstetler Paperback 9781108826808

Political Economies of Energy Transition\n\nWind and Solar Power in Brazil and South Africa\n\nShows that economic concerns about jobs, costs, and consumption, rather than climate change, are likely to drive energy transition in developing countries.\n\nKathryn Hochstetler (Author)\n\n9781108826808, Cambridge University Press\n\nPaperback / softback, published 21 March 2024\n\n294 pages\n22.9 x 15.2 x 1.6 cm, 0.429 kg\n\n'By one of the top scholars of political economy of development, this book masterfully compares solar and wind energy and their divergent development trajectories in Brazil and South Africa. Rather than by coherent plan, the shift to renewable energy is more likely, as Hochstetler deftly shows, to involve a series of political struggles by contending coalitions across different policy frames and types of renewable energy. Political Economies of Energy Transition is indispensable reading for students of renewable energy, climate change, and development policy gen]
