Temporalities of e-scooter practices and their systemic effects
Studies of e-scooters’ usage mushroomed in the social sciences almost as quickly as the new means of urban mobility themselves appeared in many European cities. After almost five years of their presence in Poland, it is still not clear whether e-scooters will and should remain part of the sustainability transition, and how they have contributed to it thus far. The article explores the potential of the social practice approach (SPA) to examine tem…
Framing spatiotemporalities of sustainability in new mobility practices and imaginaries
Transport scholars have treated policy processes, social practices, and systemic changes in transport somewhat separately, whereas these phenomena have complex spatiotemporal relationships. The special issue of Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift–Norwegian Journal of Geography conceptualises transitions to sustainable transport systems in spatiotemporal terms – analytically, empirically, and ontologically. It addresses the integration of these domains in…

Epistemic justice impossible? Expert perceptions of the participatory monitoring of geo-energy projects in Poland
Achieving energy democracy requires public engagement and social inclusion in decision-making, but meaningful conversations between different groups are essential. In this study, we explore the possibility for such conversations through participatory monitoring practices around energy technology, using geoengineering projects as an example. Despite being central to the attention of local communities, these projects can be conceptually distant and…
Towards critical ethnographies of resource risks
By examining two instances of the production of scientific knowledge on the risks of shale rock exploration and extraction in the global North’s context of democratic governance and a great concern for transparency, this paper argues for a combination of ethnographic and critical geographic approaches to studying expert knowledge production on risk as different ontological realities with different political consequences. Analytically, the study d…
Emocje w królestwie racjonalności. O roli emocji w działaniach krakowskich uczelni
EMOTIONS IN THE REALM OF RATIONALITY: THE ROLE OF EMOTIONS IN KRAKÓW’S UNIVERSITIES’ ACTIVITIES The recent research on organizations and management proved that despite the claims of rationality, emotions play an important role in decisionmaking and are set the foundations for organizational culture. The present chapter is the result of research aiming at analyzing organizational culture of selected universities located in Krakow as perceived by t…
From framework to boundary object? Reviewing gaps and critical trends in global energy justice research
The concept of energy justice (EJ) has gained importance in discussions about energy transitions, mainly due to a growing number of researchers working on the social implications of greenhouse gas emission reductions. At the moment, EJ is defined as a framework for discussing fairness in energy systems and operates as an umbrella term to signify various concerns related to energy development across diverse groups to enable communication. Thus, we…
Greening Polish transportation? Untangling the nexus between electric mobility and a carbon-based regime
This paper examines electric mobility transition in Poland which dates back to the beginning of the 1990s when Polish niche-level actors started to innovate with new technologies for low carbon transportation. By drawing on the multi-level perspective (MLP) on sustainability transitions in combination with historical institutionalism (HI) in political economy, the analysis reconstructs patterns of interactions between regime- and niche-level acto…
Co-production of the shale gas publics in Poland and the negotiation of the state citizens relations
Hybrid forums, knowledge deficits and the multiple uncertainties of resource extraction
Weak Labour, Strong Interests
This paper examines the motives behind the EU‐level activism of CEE trade unions, which are commonly regarded as weak actors. To this end, it studies lobbying and protest actions staged by Polish labour organizations in relation to proposals for the EU Emission Trading Scheme Directive and the EU Services Directive. The analysis confirms the salience of interest‐based accounts of supranational union action, but it also shows that labour interests…
Addressing social representations in socio-technical transitions with the case of shale gas
Strategies of Interest Representation
Poland's European Union accession afforded Polish trade unions membership of European-wide, umbrella trade union organisations. This essay evaluates the strategies Polish trade unions adopted to represent their interests following Poland's accession to the European Union. It draws on a series of interviews and document analysis. In addition the essay seeks to gauge the extent to which Polish trade unions were ‘Europeanised’, understood in both th…
The political duality of scale-making in environmental markets1
New markets are key in debates concerning environmental regimes. Critics and proponents share a discourse that characterises environmental markets in terms of scale; many discuss how to scale environmental markets ‘the right way’. Building on previous work in human geography, actor–network theory, and governmentality studies, we unpack the dual but always interwoven politics of scale-making in doing environmental policies, which consists of mater…
