This incisive Research Handbook examines the relationship between
energy and society, across both macro- and micro-scales, in the
context of the climate crisis. Featuring an extensive examination
of current research in the field from fifty expert international
contributors, it offers important insights into the
inter-connections between the globally organised fossil fuel energy
system and the changing structures of society. Structured in four
thematic parts, the Research Handbook begins with an analysis of
the evolution of large-scale energy production and consumption
using coal, oil and gas. Chapters then explore social divisions and
inequalities in energy systems in different countries, before
moving on to discuss energy governance, policy and politics, along
with strategies to achieve transformation. In the final part, the
Research Handbook investigates forms of knowledge, stories and
public engagement being used to re-make energy futures, concluding
that social sciences are identifying the inter-locking societal and
technical changes needed to enable rapid systemic changes in
energy. The Research Handbook on Energy and Society will be a
crucial resource for social science scholars and students
interested in the intersections of energy, climate change and
society, including aspects of governance, policy and politics,
social identity, social justice and inequalities.
