How ideas change markets: social and semantic construction(s) of automobility in 21st century Europe
In: Mobilität und Gesellschaft Band 8
Recent scandals have revealed how the European car industry struggles with environmental regulation and increasing global competition. Based on an in-depth case study this book explains how locked-in structures of private fossil-fuel based mobility could persist in an ever more integrated European government of sustainable transport. Based on new theoretical and empirical insights, the author shows which joint decision-making processes and narratives are needed to foster the sector's transition towards new, shared solutions of electro-mobility.
