Skills Shortage in the Offshore Wind Energy Industry? Geographical Industrialization, Working-Class Organization, and the Development of Skilled Labor-Power
Maritime labour regimes in the North Atlantic offshore wind energy industry
This article examines the emergence and transformation of maritime labour regimes in the North Atlantic offshore wind energy industry. Drawing on an array of published materials, observation at industry conferences, and semi-structured interviews with workers, managers, trade union officials, and others involved in the offshore wind industry in Northwestern Europe and the United States, the article analyses the development of labour regimes throu…
Competition, capital accumulation, and the geographical organization of production in the North Atlantic offshore wind energy industry
As offshore wind energy development expands throughout the advanced industrial world, the wind turbine manufacturing industry has been passing through a process of organizational and geographical restructuring. In terms of the dynamics of industrial organization, highly concentrated industrial conglomerates have gained a stronger position within the industry as the ownership of capital has been centralized through bankruptcies, mergers and acquis…
Variegated capitalism, territoriality and the renewable energy transition
Uneven development and the territoriality of renewable energy resources complicate prevailing theories of regional energy transitions. This article proposes a framework for the study of regional energy transitions informed by theories of variegated capitalism and geographical scholarship on the materiality and territoriality of energy. We make the case for this framework by demonstrating that the development of offshore wind energy in the Northea…
