Abstract
The primary aim of this book is to develop political analysis of environmental policy issues using the case of renewable energy. The two central questions are: a) how have new renewable energy sources, led by wind power, developed and expanded in recent decades? b) how can we deploy, and also modify, ecological modernisation theory to help answer this previous question?
