  • Kingston University London
    KINGSTON UNIVERSITY LONDON “The Role of Institutional Entrepreneurs in Shaping the Renewable Energy Subfield in the UK during the Period 1986-2016” By Leigh St Aubyn CHAMPAGNIE Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy SPONSORS: YTL CORPORATION and KINGSTON UNIVERSITY SBRC FEBRUARY 2020 i ABSTRACT Historically, energy systems have contributed significantly to global carbon emissions. To address this concern, countries such as the United Kingdom (UK) have embraced technologies such as renewable energy to try and reduce their carbon footprints. In the case of the UK, this led to the renewable energy subfield becoming partially institutionalised under the enabling role of actors, which suggests that this type of institutional change warrants being examined through the lens of institutional entrepreneurship theory. This doctoral thesis rises to the challenge by conducting institutional entrepreneurship research to investigate the institutionalisation of the renewable energy subfield in the UK during the period 1986-2016. Such an investigation is of social significance because the institutionalisation of the renewable energy subfield is likely to contribute to deinstitutionalising polluting technologies such as fossil fuels, thus contributing to the UK’s transition to a low carbon economy. The thesis is an exploratory, qualitative case study that combines thirty-nine semi-structured interviews of respondents connected to the field of energy provision in the UK with an analysis of archival documents. It finds that multiple actors practised as institutional entrepreneurs during the period, these being the state and its various agencies; renewable energy practitioners/activists; incumbent energy practitioners; the European Union and the United Nations.

  • A Vision for Scarborough
    A Vision for Scarborough This broadsheet contains the conclusions of the Vision building process carried out by John Thompson & Partners and West 8 between January and May 2002, working as part of Yorkshire Forward’s Urban Renaissance Panel and with the support of Scarborough Borough Council. The next stage of the process will be to analyse all of the ideas that have been generated and to create an Action Plan for their delivery. The Vision described in this leaflet is not a rigid plan or blue print which Yorkshire Forward or Scarborough Borough Council will implement tomorrow. It represents a way forward, a new direction for the town and its people. These are examples of the kind of things that can and must be achieved. The Vision will take a long time to deliver and will depend upon everyone in the community, individuals, business people, the Council and Yorkshire Forward showing commitment and leadership over the next 10 -20 years. A Vision for Scarborough “We’ve got to start looking up to quality and not down to price.” Introduction Cultural Town Scarborough already contains a wealth In the autumn of 2001, Yorkshire Forward (the of cultural assets, but many are hidden Regional Development Agency) launched its away and under-valued. If all this Urban Renaissance programme in order to culture were co-ordinated, celebrated support the social and economic regeneration and promoted, Scarborough could of the major towns and cities in the region, become ‘Edinburgh by the Sea’, building focussing on the need to improve the physical, on all its cultural assets with year round natural and spatial environments within which festivals, performances, installations and these activities take place.

  • Stage 1 Air Quality Review and Assessment
    FOREWORD The Government attaches great importance to the opportunities for partnership, which the management of local air quality brings. The Environment Act 1995 provides the statutory basis for consultation and liaison on the Stage 1 review and assessment and the Government expects local authorities to develop a closer relationship with other agencies, commerce and local community groups who may be able to contribute to the improvement of local air quality. For the purpose of reviewing and assessing air quality local authorities need to consult in accordance with Schedule 2 of the Act. It is proposed that consultation be carried out with: I. The Secretary of State II. The relevant Environment Agency III. The relevant highways authority IV. All neighbouring local authorities V. Any relevant National Park Authority VI. Other relevant public authorities as the local authority considers appropriate e.g. Parish Councils VII. Bodies representative of business interests Widespread consultation among the general public of the East Riding will be secured by depositing copies of this document at all Customer Service Centres, public libraries and in local secondary schools. All consultees or other interested parties wishing to comment on the review are asked to make their responses to the Director of Social Services, Housing and Public Protection, County Hall, Beverley HU17 9BA by 31 March 1999. 1 SUMMARY The Environment Act 1995 required the preparation of a National Air Quality Strategy which provides a framework for air quality control through local air quality management. Air quality standards and objectives have been enacted through the Air Quality Regulations 1997. Local Authorities are required to undertake a staged air quality review and assessment.
