Dilemmas of Energy Transitions in the Global South brings together theoretical and empirical contributions focused on rethinking energy transitions conceptually from and for the global South, and highlights issues of justice and inclusivity. It argues that while urgency is critical for energy transitions in a climate-changed world, we must be wary of conflating goals and processes, and enquire what urgency means for due process. Drawing from a range of authors with expertise spanning environmental justice, design theory, ethics of technology, conflict and gender, it examines case studies from countries including Bolivia, Sri Lanka, India, The Gambia and Lebanon in order to expand our understanding of what energy transi- tions are, and how just energy transitions can be done in different parts of the world. Overall, driven by a postcolonial and decolonial sensibility, this book brings to the fore new concepts and ideas to help balance the demands of justice and urgency, to flag relevant but often overlooked issues, and to provide new pathways forward. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy transi- tions, environmental justice, climate change and developing countries.

Johanna Höffken is an Assistant Professor in Innovation Sciences at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands. Auke Pols is a Lecturer in Responsible Innovation and the Ethics of Technology at Wageningen University & Research, The Netherlands. “This book makes a deep-diving contribution to an important issue: how to ensure rapid climate action by transitioning energy systems whilst recognising this as a deeply socio-ethical process. The editors distinguish between urgency and justice to explore questions that everyone involved in energy transitions research or prac- tice must engage with.” Rob Raven, Monash Sustainable Development Institute, Monash University, Australia “Kumar, Höffken and Pols have assembled an outstanding collection of essays that situates the energy transition firmly within the Anthropocene. [They] put justice at the core of the energy transition. They do this by showcasing the dynamics and politics of energy transition in a diverse set of geographical contexts. The multi- site insights from this collection show that the energy transition generates new forms of carbon colonialism. The book also reveals multiple inequalities embed- ded in energy transitions, as shown, for example, in gendered patterns of inclusion and exclusion. Accessible and engaging, this book will inform the growing work of critical energy scholars, whether they are seeking to understand how to activate just energy transitions or trying to avoid the mistakes of the past.” – Vanesa Castan Broto, Urban Institute and Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom “This important collection on just transitions in the global South casts a new empirical light onto an otherwise shadowy area of inquiry. The chapters bring to attention the complexity and nuance needed to understand the implications for the energy transition on materials, land, labour and nature-cultures. This book offers new empirical insights for why justice needs to be at the centre of climate mitiga- tion efforts with the world’s most vulnerable, and why moving fast without careful thought and participation – building with haste – could reproduce the same old inequities, this time in the name of decarbonisation. The authors give us much to think about and wrestle with – a truly timely collection for this moment.” – Dustin Mulvaney, Department of Environmental Studies, San José State University, USA Routledge Explorations in Energy Studies Decarbonising Electricity Made Simple Andrew F.

  • He True Aim of China in Setting up the AIIB Challenging the International Financial Tsystem Or Securing Multilateral Credibility? Author Jianmin Jin by Jianmin Jin
    COVER STORY • Global Growth Strategy • 3-1 he True Aim of China in Setting up the AIIB Challenging the International Financial TSystem or Securing Multilateral Credibility? Author Jianmin Jin By Jianmin Jin The Chinese-initiative Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has been generating many headlines on the economic front of late — not without justification given its impact, sizeable enough to blow a big hole in the international development financing order. There is a wide range of opinion regarding the true aim of China in taking the lead to establish the AIIB, such as challenging the international financial order, securing geopolitical influence, securing benefits for the national economy, and establishing a new facility to mediate between capital surplus countries and capital deficit countries. My conclusion after examining the economic relationship between China and the rest of the world and various information coming out of China is that the true aim of China is both economic and diplomatic/ political: the former to secure the multilateral creditworthiness that is unavailable to China on its own, the latter to “exercise cooperative influence” (neutralize the idea of “China as a threat” by providing other countries with economic benefits through economic channels). New Silk Road Vision: “Stepped-up” Version regions, infrastructure was slow to develop, and the open-door policy of the Open-Door Policy was limited in scope. Moreover, the neighboring countries there were largely developing countries, so expectations for attracting capital and The Chinese initiative to establish the AIIB is founded on a regional technology appeared slim. development strategy: the “New Silk Road” strategy, or the “One Belt But 30 years later, things have changed.

Global institutions such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the United Nations, transnational corporations, rich country governments, (and even interna- tional non-government organisations such as Oxfam) are sometimes viewed as the most powerful and dynamic forces in the fight against poverty and inequality. This book has argued, on the contrary, that the main actors are poor men and women and their national governments – a combination we have called active citizens and effective states. This is not to deny the power of global institutions. In tackling global poverty and inequality they can, by both action and omission, be either part of the solution or part of the problem. They can foster efforts to build an effective, accountable state and an active citizenry, or they can under- mine or even crush them. This part of the book examines those aspects of the international system most relevant to the fight against poverty and inequality, and explores how global institutions can be placed at the service of development.
