Destabilization of Energy Regimes and Liminal Transition through Collective Action in Chile

open access: closedEnergy Research & Social Science, 2019
Abstract The transition of energy policy towards fairer and more sustainable paths has centered on the dynamics of destabilization processes in energy regimes. Much has been written about the complex nature of transitions in the sector in 30-40 year cycles, but less work has been done on disruptive destabilizations over shorter periods, especially ...

Communication and Collective Actions: A Survey Experiment on Motivating Energy Conservation in the U.S.

Journal of Experimental Political Science, 2014
AbstractWhen do citizens take action to benefit the public good, even when individual benefits are scant or non-existent? We address this question with a focus on an area of critical importance when it comes to environmental sustainability—specifically, we examine citizens' actions in the domain of energy conservation.

Components and Factors for Actualization of Collective Action Initiatives in the Energy Sector [PDF]

open access: possible, 2020
In this conceptual paper, we develop a framework for understanding how collective action initiatives (CAIs) in the energy sector (e.g., energy collectives, positive energy districts, wind power cooperatives, etc.) form and gain agency and power ‐ a phenomenon we label as 'actualization'.

Motivating Collective Action: Converting to Sustainable Energy Sources in a German Community

2002
The use of nonrenewable energy sources (oil, gas, coal) in industrial countries is not sustainable because these resources will soon be depleted and, more importantly, burning these resources changes the earth’s atmosphere and climate. Therefore, sustainable alternatives are urgently needed In addition to wind, water, and solar energy, biomass is an ...

Energy communities and commons: rethinking collective action through inhabited spaces

2020
The emergence of energy communities, in the form of citizen coming together for the sharing of in situ renewable energy production and consumption, deserves to be questioned not only from the technical or environmental point of view, but also societal and political.
