@article{oai:chuo-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00012874, author = {ヤンボール, アダム}, journal = {総合政策研究, Japanese Journal of Policy and Culture}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, The German term Energiewende often translated as “energy transition” and so its meaning is often reduced to phasing out nuclear power and promoting the expansion of renewable energies. In the German discussion, though, there is more to the term. The promotion of renewable energies is seen as a chance for more local civic participation because these energies are more decentralized than nuclear or coal power plants. An overview of the history of municipal energy policies and civic engagement in Germany shows that the German energy transition has deep roots in anti-nuclear power/environmental movements, which encouraged citizens to demand an environmentally friendly supply of energy on the local level. Indeed, federal laws for the promotion of renewable energies have their predecessors in local policies implemented in the 1980s/1990s. For instance, the federal renewable energies act passed by the Social Democrats and Green Party coalition government enforced civic participation in form of energy cooperatives, while a federal program starting in 2008 funded the conception of climate protection programs for each local government. By examining the case of the so called “wind power capital” of North Rhine-Westphalia (the city of Lichtenau) this paper investigates the relationship between civic participation/engagement and local energy policies. This case study also examines how the German government is supporting a wider range of municipalities to contribute to the national climate goals and what difficulties remain on the local level.}, pages = {117--132}, title = {ドイツのエネルギー転換における自治体政策と市民参加の歴史と現状 ―「風力首都」リヒテナウ市の事例研究―}, volume = {29}, year = {2021}, yomi = {ヤンボール, アダム} }
