本レビューは、公正なエネルギー転換の矛盾を批判的に検討し、理論的枠組みを提供する。再生可能エネルギーの増加は化石燃料を実質的に置き換えておらず、参加は限定的である。メサロシュとルフェーブルの理論を統合し、資本の社会的代謝の文脈でエネルギー転換を捉えることで、構造的障壁を明らかにする。
English
This review critically examines contradictions of the just energy transition, arguing that renewable energy growth has not displaced fossil fuels and participation is limited. By synthesizing Mészáros and Lefebvre, it highlights how capital's class structure and growth imperative create contradictory spaces that impede a just transition. Lefebvre's concept of autogestion offers a pathway beyond capital's alienated socio-spatial metabolism.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGXでは再生可能エネルギー拡大と地域参加が課題だが、本論文は資本主義の構造的矛盾に着目し、公正な移行には参加の深化と体制変革が必要と示唆する。理論的枠組みに重点があり、具体的政策提言は少ない。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a macro-level theoretical critique of just energy transitions, arguing that without addressing capital's social metabolism, transitions risk reproducing inequalities. It integrates Marxist and spatial theory, offering a cautionary perspective for global policymakers and researchers concerned with justice in climate action.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This paper offers a critical theoretical framework for scholars studying the political economy of energy transitions and environmental justice.
🏛政策担当者:Provides a cautionary perspective on the limitations of incremental participation without systemic change in energy transitions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT This review critically examines the contradictions of the just energy transition while developing a theoretical framework for moving analysis forward. We address how the current energy transition is beset with numerous ecological and social contradictions. Renewable energy production is on the rise but has not substantively displaced fossil fuels while meaningful participation in this process is partial and limited. We review the literature on energy transition technologies and participation as elements of an energy transition while paying close attention to the different levels of analysis employed (moving from the individual to the institutional). These perspectives, while important, miss out on macro‐level, structural processes, neglecting systemic dynamics that impede just energy transitions. We argue that, through synthesizing the theoretical insights of Istvan Mészáros and Henri Lefebvre, we can develop a robust orientation for future just energy transition research. More specifically, we focus on the significance of placing the energy transition within the historically specific context of capital's social metabolism. Our discussion highlights how capital's adversarial class structure, in conjunction with its growth imperative, creates contradictory spaces limiting the potential of a just energy transition to address the climate emergency. Lefebvre's radical project of autogestion provides a guideline for the just energy transition to transcend capital's alienated socio‐spatial metabolism.
