Fair enough? Unraveling justice perspectives on Germany's energy system transformation
The German energy system transformation, known as Energiewende, has gained significant political attention in the national discourse over the past decade. However, the implementation of the Energiewende has raised concerns about the justice of the transformation process among broader parts of society. This research article examines energy justice perceptions among uninvolved citizens in three rural areas (Ahrweiler, Ferdinandshof, Spremberg) experiencing conflicts over energy infrastructure projects. The residents' perceptions and experiences of energy justice are analyzed along the tenets of distributive, procedural, and recognitional justice, utilizing interviews and focus group material conducted between December 2020 and May 2022 in a secondary analysis approach. The paper describes justice perceptions among the uninvolved citizens in their daily communication, thereby identifying potential political mobilization and conflict issues. The study uncovers heterogeneous and sometimes conflicting perceptions of justice, influenced by local context and historical experiences. Key issues include distributional concerns over financial resource allocation and procedural justice debates regarding the degree and nature of citizen participation.
期刊介绍:
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers.
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
