Topics covered include: structural perspectives on energy-society relations, the persistent material and geopolitical relevance of fossil fuels, consumption processes, the inequitable distribution of energy access, energy poverty, the influence of publics and civil society in contemporary energy-society relations, current trends in energy politics, and significant shifts in energy-society relationships.
