| Summary: | The Oxford Handbook of Energy and Society offers a synthesis of recent developments in sociological analysis of energy-society relations, representing a wide breadth of contributors in sociology and related disciplines from across the globe. Regional case studies of different energy resources are featured, as are the roles of politics, markets, technology, social movements, and consumers, all contributing to a complex systems perspective on the uncertain future of energy-society relations. Topics covered include: structural perspectives on energy-society relations, the persistent material and geopolitical relevance of fossil fuels, consumption processes, the inequitable distribution of energy access, energy poverty, the influence of publics and civil society in contemporary energy-society relations, current trends in energy politics, and significant shifts in energy-society relationships. |
