Beschreibungen

<p>Wolfgang Gründinger explores how interest groups, veto opportunities, and electoral pressure formed the German energy transition: nuclear exit, renewables, coal (CCS), and emissions trading. His findings provide evidence that logics of political competition in new German politics have fundamentally changed over the last two decades with respect to five distinct mechanisms: the end of ’fossil-nuclear’ corporatism, the new importance of trust in lobbying, ’green ’ path dependence, the emergence of a ’Green Grand Coalition’, and intra-party fights over energy politics.</p>

Interest Groups, Lobbying, and Advocacy Coalitions.- The Rise and Fall of Nuclear Power in Germany.- The EEG – Story of an Unlikely Revolution.- ’Clean Coal’ (CCS) – A Chance for Climate Protection?.- Emissions Trading: Europe’s Flagship for Climate Protection.​
Dr. Wolfgang Gründinger studied Political and Social Sciences at the University of Regensburg, the Humboldt University in Berlin and the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), and attended the Oxford Internet Leadership Academy.
