This paper investigates from a socio-technical and energy justice perspective the lack of coordination international, national local developmental priorities inclusion needs in decision making process large dam construction global South. The argues that analysis infrastructures as systems requires an approach to capture true environmental social nature production consumption. In doing so, this proposes conceptual framework called "The Energy Justice Framework for Dam Decision-Making" tool...
Abstract Governments and civil society are increasingly aware that the decarbonization of energy systems needs to be aligned with justice principles recognition, distribution, process. This paper establishes a conceptual linkage between “sustainable development”, “low‐carbon transitions” “energy justice” examines social priorities address peoples' competing associated low‐carbon interventions. By analyzing renewable project in Vietnam as case study, shows linking provides useful contribution...

Abstract Emerging issues from the Bui hydropower project suggest that experiences of two earlier projects in Ghana failed to prevent challenges related resource access and livelihoods. This article examines nature challenges, their causes, why they were not avoided role Chinese builders. We conducted 43 interviews 11 focus group discussions analyzed qualitative data by themes using narrative analysis. Our findings show livelihoods resettled communities are, on balance, negatively impacted...
The ongoing agrarian transition from small-holder farming to large-scale commercial agriculture is reshaping systems of production and human well-being in many regions. A fundamental part this global manifested land acquisitions (LSLAs) by agribusinesses. Its energy implications, however, remain poorly understood. Here, we assess the multi-dimensional changes fossil-fuel-based demand resulting transition. We focus on LSLAs comparing two scenarios low-input high-input agricultural practices,...
ABSTRACT Domestic land grabbing is defined as the process of expropriation and displacement put in place by governments within their country borders to supposedly enhance development. Although development‐induced occurs all over world, China responsible for a large fraction such type resettlement projects. Urban sprawl commodification food security agricultural modernization are main consequences domestic country. Albeit attention towards implications urbanization projects on social...
This article investigates China's role as the world's largest builder of and investor in large dams, focussing on Greater Mekong Sub-Region South-East Asia. It addresses Chinese actors play dam-building well environmental, social, economic political implications by drawing case studies from Cambodia Vietnam. The finds that is perceived very differently different countries In Cambodia, dams are considered instruments growth development, whereas downstream Vietnam seen potentially undermining...
Abstract Vietnam has experienced rapid economic growth over the past few decades, as well growing environmental pressures. The country is therefore pursuing strategies for green transformations, which are processes of restructuring to bring economies and societies within planetary boundaries. This article addresses opportunities, barriers, trade‐offs transformations in Vietnam's energy sector examines them from an justice perspective. draws on in‐depths expert interviews with representatives...
Abstract There is a shortage of empirical studies on the relationship between C hinese hydropower dams and social sustainability. Comparative research hinese‐funded hinese‐built projects rare.

ABSTRACT Large dams have been controversially debated for decades due to their large‐scale and often irreversible social environmental impacts. In the pursuit of low‐carbon energy climate change mitigation, hydropower is experiencing a new renaissance. At forefront this renaissance are Chinese actors as world's largest dam‐builders. This paper aims discuss role South–South technology transfer innovation its opportunities barriers by using case study first large Chinese‐funded Chinese‐built...
Abstract Hydropower dams have been criticised for their social and environmental implications. There attempts to create international standards hydropower dam projects, but these had limited impact. This article uses an extended justice framework make sense of the resettlement compensation schemes Indigenous peoples who were resettled construction Bakun in Borneo, East Malaysia. The therefore analyses protection measures designed livelihoods. case study is based on in‐depth interviews focus...

Given the opportunities offered by foreign investment in energy infrastructure mostly Chinese firms, Government of Cambodia is giving high priority to developing hydropower resources for reducing poverty and powering economic growth. Using a “Political ecology Asian drivers” framework, this paper assesses China’s involvement development large dams’ its impacts on access natural such as water dam builders, local communities government. This analysis based 61 interviews 10 focus group...
