Drivers of Energy Transition

Zusatztext

<p>Wolfgang Gründinger explores how interest groups, veto opportunities, and electoral pressure formed the German energy transition: nuclear exit, renewables, coal (CCS), and emissions trading. His findings provide evidence that logics of political competition in new German politics have fundamentally changed over the last two decades with respect to five distinct mechanisms: the end of fossil-nuclear corporatism, the new importance of trust in lobbying, green path dependence, the emergence of a Green Grand Coalition, and intra-party fights over energy politics.</p>
