This is the first book to
explore ways of conceptualizing Germany’s ongoing energy transition. Although
widely acclaimed in policy and research circles worldwide, the Energiewende is poorly understood in
terms of social science scholarship. There is an urgent need to delve beyond
descriptive accounts of policy implementation and contestation in order to
unpack the deeper issues at play in what has been termed a 'grand societal
transformation.' The authors approach this in three ways: First, they select and
characterize conceptual approaches suited to interpreting the reordering of
institutional arrangements, socio-material configurations, power relations and
spatial structures of energy systems in Germany and beyond. Second, they assess the value of
these concepts in describing and explaining energy transitions, pinpointing their
relative strengths and weaknesses and exploring areas of complementarity and
incompatibility. Third, they illustrate how these concepts can be applied – individually and in
combination – to enrich empirical research of Germany’s energy transition.
