Synopsis:

Green transition is sometimes imagined as a technical question involving mostly energy production and industrial processes. Nonetheless, wider societal, economic and political contexts are indispensable to successful transformation. The course introduces different transition approaches focusing on such wider frameworks and stressing the interconnections between politics, markets, industry, and social changes. Theoretical concepts of transformation will then be linked to current reality in specific regions (with emphasis on but not limited to the EU).
