Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Christian Büscher, Jens Schippl and Patrick Sumpf Chapter 2: Framing Energy as a Sociotechnical Problem of Control, Change, and Action Christian Büscher Part I: Sociotechnical Problem of Control Chapter 3: Power Systems in Transition: Dealing with Complexity Wolfgang Kröger and Cen Nan Chapter 4: Aligning Institutions and Technologies in Energy Systems Rolf W. Künneke Chapter 5: Exposure and Vulnerability of the Energy System to Internal and External Effects Marcus Wiens, Wolfgang Raskob, Florian Diehlmann, Stefan Wandler, and Frank Schultmann Part II: Sociotechnical Problem of Change Chapter 6: Real World Experiments as Generators of Sociotechnical Change Matthias Gross Chapter 7: Learning and Disruptive Innovation in Energy Transitions: Who Causes Which Constraints in the German Electricity Transition? Gerhard Fuchs Chapter 8: Energy System Transformation and Inertia in the UK: A Discourse-Institutional Perspective Audley Genus, Marfuga Iskandarova and Leigh Champagnie Part III: Sociotechnical Problem of Action Chapter 9: The Energy System and Trust: Public, Organizational, and Transsystemic Perspectives Patrick Sumpf Chapter 10: Shaping Our Energy Future: The Irreducible Entanglement of the Ethical, Social, and Technical Realms Rafaela Hillerbrand Chapter 11: Technology and Motives: The Challenge of Energy Consumption Behavior Siegmar Otto and Inga Wittenberg Addendum: Observing Sociotechnical Problems Chapter 12: Observing Amplified Sociotechnical Complexity: Challenges for Technology Assessment Regarding Energy Transitions Todd R. La Porte Chapter 13: Energy as a Sociotechnical Problem: A Concluding Discussion Christian Büscher, Jens Schippl and Patrick SumpfReviewsThis book follows a promising approach in putting together various interdisciplinary and up-to-date perspectives on energy transitions in a structured way. It thereby provides interesting new insights for further understanding interrelations of circumstances and finding ways for handling the complexity of energy transitions within a socio-technical background. -- Bert Droste-Franke, Head of Energy Department, EA European Academy of Technology and Innovation Assessment GmbH, Germany This is a timely and ambitious collection of disciplinary perspectives on the rapidly accelerating shift towards energy transition. By framing the process as a socio-technical problem , the authors provide an integrative view, which is direly needed to tackle the challenges of this real-world experiment. -- Bernhard Truffer, Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, Switzerland, and Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University, The Netherlands You won't find better proof of the value added by a truly interdisciplinary approach to key sociotechnical problems than this book. The last chapter summarizing and demonstrating the case for a more expansive, integrated thinking is the best introduction I know for more effectively addressing the energy transitions taking place across much of the world. -- Emery Roe, Center for Catastrophic Risk Management, University of California, Berkeley, USA This book follows a promising approach in putting together various interdisciplinary and up-to-date perspectives on energy transitions in a structured way.
