Drivers of Energy Transition

Wolfgang Grundinger explores how interest groups, veto opportunities, and electoral pressure formed the German energy transition: nuclear exit, renewables, coal (CCS), and emissions trading. His findings provide evidence that logics of political competition in new German politics have fundamentally changed over the last two decades with respect to five distinct mechanisms: the end of 'fossil-nuclear' corporatism, the new importance of trust in lobbying, 'green ' path dependence, the emergence of a 'Green Grand Coalition', and intra-party fights over energy politics.

Wolfgang Grundinger exploreaza modul in care grupurile de interese, oportunitatile de veto si presiunea electorala au format tranzitia energetica germana: iesirea nucleara, regenerabile, carbune (CCS) si comercializarea emisiilor. Descoperirile sale ofera dovezi ca logica competitiei politice din noua politica germana s-a schimbat fundamental in ultimele doua decenii in ceea ce priveste cinci mecanisme distincte: sfarsitul corporatismului „fosil-nuclear”, noua importanta a increderii in lobby, calea „verde” dependenta, aparitia unei „mari coalitii verzi” si lupte intra-partidiste pentru politica energetica.
