本論文は、エネルギー転換における社会的・制度的イノベーションの中心概念である「エネルギー市民権」の研究方法論を批判的に検討する。概念の曖昧さやイデオロギー的利用を踏まえ、再帰的な方法論アプローチを提案し、3つの主要な関心事（規範的理想、イデオロギー的表象、経験的観察可能性）と9つの具体的戦略を提示する。国際共同研究の経験に基づき、社会科学のエネルギー研究に方法論的指針を提供する。
English
This paper critically examines research methodologies for studying 'energy citizenship', a key concept in social and institutional innovation for the energy transition. Addressing the concept's elusiveness and ideological appropriation, it proposes a reflexive methodology approach, identifying three key concerns (normative ideals, ideological representations, empirical observables) and nine concrete strategies. Based on an international research project, it offers methodological guidance for critical social-scientific energy research.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のエネルギー転換では、市民参加や地域主体の再エネ導入が政策課題となっており、本論文の方法論的枠組みは、日本の市民エネルギーに関する研究や政策評価に示唆を与える。特に、SSBJや統合報告書における社会側面の開示が進む中、市民の役割を再帰的に捉える視点は、企業のステークホルダーエンゲージメントにも応用可能。
In the global GX context
Globally, the energy transition is increasingly recognized as a social and institutional challenge, not just a technological one. This paper's reflexive methodology for studying energy citizenship offers a critical lens for evaluating participatory processes and social acceptance, which are central to just transition debates and climate policy design. It provides a framework for researchers and policymakers to avoid simplistic assumptions about citizen roles in energy systems.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The energy transition crucially involves social and institutional innovations, carried by new narratives and discourses. A prominent example is ‘energy citizenship’. Coined as an emancipatory counter-narrative of capable and politically involved citizens, it has also proven vulnerable to analytical dilution, ideological appropriation and narrow instrumental interpretations. Arguing for a critical but empirically concrete engagement with the concept, this paper reaches beyond conceptual discussions. Responding to methodological discussions in social-scientific energy research, we address the elusiveness of energy citizenship as an object of study: Is it a policy slogan, a set of concrete actors and activities, a social-scientific category, or all of these at once? As research may silently reproduce implicit assumptions and stereotypes about energy citizenship, we propose a reflexive methodology approach. Building on empirical investigations in a large international research project and critical analysis of recent energy citizenship studies, we identify three key reflexive methodology concerns: 1) the associated normative ideals , 2) the ideological representations of it and 3) the empirical observables, actors and ideal-types that it can be taken to refer to. Disclosing 9 reflexive-methodological strategies, the analysis provides concrete methodological guidance for critical social-scientific energy research more broadly.
