{"product_id":"9780520393134","title":"The Low-Carbon Contradiction: Energy Transition, Geopolitics, And The Infrastructural State In Cuba (Volume 13) (Critical Environments: Nature, Science, And Politics)","description":"In the pursuit of socialism, Cuba became Latin America's most oil dependent economy. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the country lost 86 percent of its crude oil supplies, resulting in a severe energy crisis. In the face of this shock, Cuba started to develop a low-carbon economy on the basis of economic and social reform rather than high-tech innovation. The Low Carbon Contradiction examines this period of rapid low-carbon energy transition, which many have described as a Cuban miracle\" or even a real-life case of successful \"degrowth\". Based on original research inside households and workplaces, universities and government offices, Gustav Cederlöf retells the history of the Cuban Revolution as one of profound environmental and infrastructural change. In doing so, he opens up new questions about energy transitions, their politics, and the conditions of a socially just low-carbon future. The Cuban experience shows how a society can transform itself while rapidly cutting carbon emissions in the search for sustainability\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eGustav Cederlof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eUniversity Of California Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eAug 29, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e260 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0520393139\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780520393134\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"University Of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47594113597745,"sku":"9780520393134","price":41.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9780520393134.jpg?v=1697996449","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/es\/products\/9780520393134","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
