This book addresses fundamental questions about the very idea of
demand: how is it constituted, how does it change and how might it
be steered? Conceptualising Demand focuses on five core
propositions: that demand is derived from social practices; that it
is made and not simply met; that it is materially embedded and
temporally unfolding; and that it is modulated through many forms
of policy and governance. In working through these claims, the book
weaves concepts from the sociology of consumption, science and
technology studies, policy analyses and social theories of practice
together with empirical cases and new research into such topics as
the rise of refrigerated foods, the emergence of online shopping
and the transformation of energy demanding services. This
innovative book takes a fresh look at the very idea of demand, a
concept that is often taken for granted, but that is vital for
scholars and students of energy, mobility, climate change and
consumption, and anyone interested in the subject.
