Energy as a Sociotechnical Problem offers an innovative approach to
equip interdisciplinary research on sociotechnical transitions with
coherence and focus. The book emphasizes sociotechnical problems in
three analytical dimensions: - In the control dimension,
contributing authors examine how control can be maintained despite
increasing complexity and uncertainty, e.g., in power grid
operations or on energy markets; - In the change dimension, the
authors explore if and how change is possible despite the need for
stable orientation, e.g., regarding discourses, real-world labs and
learning; - Finally, in the action dimension, the authors analyze
how the ability to act on a permanent basis is sustained despite
opaqueness and ignorance, exemplified by the work on trust,
capabilities or individual motives. Drawing on contributions from
engineering, economics, philosophy, political science, psychology
and sociology, the book assembles a range of classic and current
themes including innovation, resilience, institutional economics,
design or education. Energy as a Sociotechnical Problem presents
the ongoing transformation of the energy complex as a
multidimensional process, in which the analytical dimensions
interact with each other in shaping the energy future. As such,
this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
energy transitions, energy science and environmental social science
more generally, as well as to practitioners working within the
field of energy policy.
