Invoking the notion of 'cosmopolitics' from Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers, this volume shows how and why cities constitute privileged sites for studying the search for and composition of common worlds of cohabitation. A cosmopolitical approach to the city focuses on the multiple assemblages of human and nonhuman actors that constitute urban common worlds, and on the conflicts and compromises that arise among different ways of assembling the city. It brings into view how urban worlds are always in the process of being subtly transformed, destabilized, decentred, questioned, criticized,...

Almost every energy scenario assumes an enormous growth in the demand for energy in the coming decades. Meanwhile, at international conferences and other venues, the primary concern is massive reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, especially of the CO₂ produced by fossil-fuel energy consumption. Experts also point out the political risk of depending on petroleum and remind us of the fact that resources are not inexhaustible. This timely book explores: how these conflicting scenarios could be reconciled; how can we shape a more sustainable energy system from the existing one;...

Fast alle Energieszenarien stutzen sich auf Trends, die auf ein enormes Wachstum des Energiebedarfs in den nachsten Jahrzehnten hinauslaufen. Auf internationalen Konferenzen beschaftigt man sich indes mit dem Gegenteil: einer massiven Verringerung der Treibhausgasemissionen, vor allem der durch den Verbrauch von Energie verursachten CO₂-Emissionen. Experten verweisen auch auf das politische Risiko der Abhangigkeit vom Erdol und die Erschopflichkeit von Ressourcen. Wie soll diese Kluft uberbruckt werden? Wie lasst sich das bestehende Energiesystem nachhaltiger gestalten? Die...
