The Emerald Handbook of Sustainable Energy Transition and Social Justice fosters a profound understanding of research and discourse on energy transition across the Global South and deconstructs the current thinking by presenting alternative viewpoints that enhance the understanding and engagement of communities in the Global South in the process of achieving sustainable development. The expertly curated chapters in this handbook focus on sustainable practices, energy use and creation and human rights from the perspective of a range of countries in the global south.
The interdisciplinary nature of the topics covered appeal to readers in a range of disciplines across business and social sciences, as well as those interested in understanding the ongoing complex debate on sustainability, energy transition and social justice.
New Frontiers in African Business and Society book series is dedicated to the exploration of theoretical and conceptual discussions that consolidate conventional knowledge about Africa. The purpose of the series is to invite new reflections on the nature of business and society across parts of Africa. The series contributes by interrogating the socially constructed practices assumptions and beliefs which provide meaning for scholarship across Africa.
