This book explores an ongoing puzzle: why don't catastrophic
events, such as oil shocks and nuclear meltdowns, always trigger
transitions away from the energy technologies involved? Jennifer F.
Sklarew examines how two key factors - shocks and stakeholder
relationships - combine to influence energy system transitions,
applying a case study of Japan's trajectory from the time of the
1970s oil crises through the period following the 2011 Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear disaster. Examining the role of diverse
stakeholders' resilience priorities, she focuses on how changes in
stakeholder cooperation and clout respond to and are affected by
these shocks, and how this combination of shocks and relationship
changes shapes energy policies and policymaking. From Japan's
narrative, the book derives unique and universal lessons for
cooperation on innovation and energy system resilience applicable
to communities and nations around the globe, including implications
for transitions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The book
also places energy system resilience and innovation in the broader
context of the food-energy-water-climate nexus. Building Resilient
Energy Systems: Lessons from Japan will appeal to all levels of
readers with an interest in energy policy, energy technologies and
energy transitions: experts and specialists; academics and
students; practitioners and policymakers.
