Linking conceptual threads, looking towards the future. 330 $aOne of the consequences of the post-socialist transformation of Eastern and Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union is the emergence of energy poverty, a condition where households are living in inadequately heated homes. This book provides the first full-length examination of the causes, consequences and patterns of energy poverty in former Communist countries. Based on empirical evidence that spans different spatial contexts and scales and compares these with other parts of the world, the book links household-level deprivation with broader organizational and political dynamics. The book also analyzes the lived experiences of scarcity and marginalization with the aid of two in-depth country studies. Furthermore, it identifies the socio-demographic factors that distinguish energy-poor families from the rest of the population, while stressing the need for a comprehensive range of policy tools to address energy poverty. As the issue of energy supply from the former Soviet Union is likely to become one of the most important economic and political problems across the whole of Europe within the next couple of decades, the book argues that there is a direct link between the energy crises experienced by the region, and the social aspects of energy use in households. 606 $aEnergy policy$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aPower resources$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aEnergy policy$zEurope, Eastern$vCase studies 606 $aPower resources$zEurope, Eastern$vCase studies 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xEconomic integration 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aPower resources 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aPower resources 676 $a333.790947 700 $aBuzar$b Stefan$f1977-,$0972304 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154600003321 996 $aEnergy poverty in Eastern Europe$92210825 997 $aUNINA
