Offering a unique and critical perspective on energy justice, this Handbook delves into an emerging field of inquiry encapsulating multiple strands of scholarship on energy systems. Covering key topics including generation, transmission, distribution and demand, it explores fundamental questions surrounding policy, climate change, security and social movements. The Handbook illuminates the rapidly expanding and diversifying scholarly domains where energy justice has developed to date. Chapters provide an overview on energy justice issues across a range of socio-technical and political contexts, including differences along lines of race, gender, age, geography, housing, socio-economic status and infrastructure. The Handbook further incorporates non-Western perspectives to expand the transitional vocabulary and frameworks of energy justice. Grounded in empirically rich case studies from across the world to support nuanced framings, situated methods and informed policy, this Handbook will be of interest to students of development, human geography, environmental policy and politics. It will also be useful to practitioners working in international organisations and agencies working in development and the environment. ‘Handbook on Energy Justice is an accomplished work that surveys the literature on energy justice and moves it forward. The volume is sophisticated and academic, but it never forgets the practical concerns of the real world, and it will be an indispensable companion for academics and practitioners.’ -- Leonard M. Livingstone, The Energy Journal ’The Handbook on Energy Justice offers a rich collection that both consolidates the field and pushes its boundaries in new and interesting ways, drawing together multiple and divergent accounts of the possibilities and challenges of energy justice as a concept and call to action. A much-needed compass for our challenging times.’ -- Harriet Bulkeley, Durham University, UK Edited by Stefan Bouzarovski, School of Environment, Education and Development, The University of Manchester, UK, Sara Fuller, School of Social Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia and Tony G.
