Energy transitions are fundamental to achieving a zero-carbon economy. This book provides a novel, interdisciplinary account of the politics of producing, financing, governing and mobilising energy system change. Using case studies from around the globe, it explores the historical, global, political and ecological features of energy transitions. 'Peter Newell has done it again! Power Shift is a must-read for students, and others, interested in current attempts to steer society towards a lower carbon future that is equitable and just. It provides a comprehensive global account of how and why sustainable transitions are taking place. Most importantly, however, it also explicitly highlights the important power shifts within global capitalism that are already resulting from sustainable transitions.'
