Egalitarian governance and the green energy transition: An empirical test of 46 industrial economies, 1990–2020
How well are the world ́s major economies responding to the challenge of climate change? We address this question by assessing democratic governance styles, contrasted as more egalitarian from ones that are more liberal, on the green energy transition. We propose that egalitarian societies have a greater demand for balancing production, consumption, and rent-seeking demands with environmental ones, leading to more compromised solutions. We assess…
Conditions for just offshore wind energy: Addressing the societal challenges of the North Sea wind industry
Global investment in offshore wind energy is anticipated to surge in the coming decades. While improved technology, reduced costs, and generous policy support are frequently acknowledged as driving factors, many assert that there are fewer societal challenges with offshore renewable installations than with onshore ones. Drawing from a co-creation process with key Norwegian stakeholders and an interdisciplinary team of social science and humanitie…
Searching for energy independence, finding renewables? Energy security perceptions and renewable energy policy in Lithuania
Lithuania's electricity sector has one of the EU's highest dependency rates, with about seventy percent of consumed electricity being generated abroad. This high rate was accentuated by the fact that until 2015 the dependency was on a sole country, namely the Russian Federation. With virtually no primary energy resources of its own, Lithuania progressed from a pro-nuclear to a renewable national energy strategy in just one decade. Based on the re…
Renewable energy expansion or the preservation of national energy sovereignty? Norwegian renewable energy policy meets resource nationalism
Proponents of renewable energy often argue that renewables bolster national energy sovereignty. Most of the scholarship however focuses on security of supply, imports and enhanced domestic production, not on exports. How does exporting renewable energy resources affect sovereignty? Here, we turn our attention to Norway, a country that is already self-sufficient in renewables, and where renewable energy expansion is primarily directed at exports. …
Kraftmangel i horisonten: Norsk klima-utenrikspolitikk fra konsensus til strid
Norsk klima-utenrikspolitikk har ligget ganske fast frem til i dag. På 2020-tallet, i det avgjørende tiåret for klimapolitikken, blir imidlertid den norske linjen utfordret. Det skyldes at en nasjonal forutsetning som hittil har vært Norges fremste styrke, nemlig det fornybare kraftsystemet, ikke lenger opplagt kan ivareta den samme funksjonen i norsk klima-utenrikspolitikk. Det fornybare kraftsystemet og en aktiv utenrikspolitikk for fleksible o…
A green maritime shift: Lessons from the electrification of ferries in Norway
Norway is at the forefront of a transition toward cleaner solutions in the maritime sector. In 2015, the first fully electric ferry, the MF Ampere, started operating in Western Norway. Since then, 60 electric or hybrid-electric ferries are in operation or scheduled to be by the end of 2021. With a few exceptions the literature on energy transitions sees transitions as disjointed and slow. Through this case study—based on 13 semi-structured interv…

George W. Bush: Decision Points
Mancur Olson and structural economic change: Vested interests and the industrial rise and fall of the great powers
The article examines Mancur Olson's claim that the rise and decline of nations is intrinsically intertwined with the build-up of vested interests in the economy. I contend that Olson must be supplemented with Joseph Schumpeter for a theoretical framework that enables us to examine processes of long-term structural economic change. The specific focus is on technological progress and industrial growth, with a view to analyzing why certain nations h…
An Interpretation of the Asian Financial Crisis: Innovation Systems and Economic Performance in a Period of Transformation
S ince World War II, Asia Pacific has been the world's fastest growing region. In a work typical of the 1990s, Samuel P. Huntington hinted that countries of the Asia Pacific might have discovered regimes more efficient and rational than those of the West. Rapid economic growth might lead to Asia eventually challenging the West (Huntington 1996, 303, 309). Half a decade later this fear seems to belong to a distant past. The West has fended off not…
Beyond right and wrong ways to write music: Tsontakis, Rosenblum, and Diesendruck
This article surveys three important younger (born c. 1950) American composers. The music of each is very different, aside from a few general common concerns. The work of each is commonly labelled “tonal,” “microtonal,” and “post-modern” respectively. These labels are not very informative, and say nothing about the skill of each composer in creating gestures and achieving musical continuity. The paper examines gesture and continuity in three repr…
