Innovation Diffusion and Political Control of Energy Technologies : a Comparison of Combined Heat and Power Generation in the UK and Germany /
The book investigates two important subjects simultaneously. On the one hand, it is concerned with the detailed processes which have lead to quite different innovation diffusion pathways of combined heat and power technology in the UK and Germany since the early Eighties. On the other hand, this emp...
