Hibernation of off-grid solar e-waste in Kenya
Bringing light, connectivity and waste to local communities
In areas with low penetration of grid-based electricity, off-grid solar (OGS) devices have for the last decade played an important role of providing light and access to communications. However, this has come at a cost in terms of creation of streams of electronic waste. To shed light on this issue, this paper explores how broken-down OGS are handled by post-consumption value-chain actors, and which factors are essential for reducing the amount of…
Linking business strategies with upgrading pathways in global value chains
Servicification of Manufacturing in Global Value Chains
While services are an essential element in the global production, trade and consumption of manufactured goods, limited research has been conducted on the role of services in studies of global value chains (GVCs). Recently, however, an emerging literature on the ‘servicification’ of manufacturing in GVCs has evolved, most of which involves aggregate-level analyses of countries and sectors based on trade statistics. Previous studies have thus faile…
Linking the energy transition and economic development
Localizing the solar value chain in Kenya
The debate on the benefits of renewable electrification in late industrialising economies has mostly focused on improved electricity access and climate mitigation arguments. The literature has paid less attention to understanding the opportunities for sustainable industrialisation, understood as the enduring localisation and development of 'green' industrial activities. This paper contributes to the latter with insights from a single case study o…
Dual embeddedness? Innovation capabilities, multinational subsidiaries, and solar power development in South Africa
Commercial yet social
The uptake and diffusion of solar power in Africa
System building in the Kenyan electrification regime
The rise and fall of foreign private investment in the jatropha biofuel value chain in Ghana
Sustainability transitions in developing countries
An increasing number of studies have analysed the scope for, and the barriers to, transitions toward sustainability in the context of developing countries building on analytical perspectives from the sustainability transitions literature. This paper introduces a special issue on sustainability transitions in developing countries, which takes stock of this emerging field of research and presents new empirical research that contributes to further a…
