Fracking is a novel but contested energy technology - so what makes
some countries embrace it whilst others reject it? This book argues
that the reason for policy divergence lies in procedures and
processes, stakeholder inclusion and whether a strong narrative
underpins governmental policies. Based on a large set of primary
data gathered in Poland, Bulgaria and Romania, it explores shale
gas policies in Central Eastern Europe (a region strongly dependent
on Russian gas imports) to unveil the importance of policy regimes
for creating a 'social license' for fracking. Its findings suggest
that technology transfer does not happen in a vacuum but is subject
to close mutual interaction with political, economic and social
forces; and that national energy policy is not a matter of
'objective' policy imperatives, such as Russian import dependence,
but a function of complex domestic dynamics pertaining to
institutional procedures and processes, and winners and losers.
