Many Western countries are now set to transition towards a low - carbon economic structure. Energy choices have become now and more than ever highly critical questions due to their fundamentally political strategic geopolitical economic social and cultural impacts. Since the mid - 2000s the British government has been actively involved in reforming the country's energy strategy by encouraging the development of renewables and promoting the revival of the national nuclear industry which had laid almost dormant until then. Seeing the UK government take back control of its energy strategy represented a rather bold and surprising political move given the neoliberal dynamics which had spread in the energy sector during the privatisation era of the 1980s and 1990s. There are currently about seventy reactors under construction in the world; yet the British programme is the only one building nuclear reactors (Hinkley Point C) in a liberalised energy market. Consequently many doubts were raised on the ability of the government to reshape the country's energy mix through the revival of nuclear power an industry historically blighted by financial difficulties and its controversial legacy. Nuclear Power Policies in Britain analyses the UK state's capacity to shape energy decision - making using a diverse toolbox of political instruments ranging from legislative regulatory and communication levers to financial incentives. This case study determines how the current UK public policy on nuclear energy has been debated legitimised negotiated and implemented within the constraints of a neoliberal environment. By taking a holistic approach to the nuclear venture it offers valuable insight on the British approach to energy policy - making and contributes to redefining the country's technopolitical regime in this day and age.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Nuclear Power Policies In Britain The Quandaries Of Neoliberalism\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Carvalho Lucie De\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781785277283\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 232 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Anthem Studies in British History\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: 21st Century History: From C 2000 -","brand":"Carvalho Lucie De","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623734976817,"sku":"IN-G-9781785277283","price":135.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781785277283.jpg?v=1724767153","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781785277283-nuclear-power-policies-in-britain-the-quandaries-of-neoliberalism","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
