Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Today 31 countries produce electricity from nuclear power, 18 more are in different stages in the process of introducing nuclear energy. In democratic systems nuclear/atomic energy belongs to the often very controversial political issues. Several countries have abandoned nuclear energy (Italy, Austria) or are currently in the process of doing so. In other countries there is a kind of tie in this conflict (even when currently one side seems to prevail) (Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium) or nuclear energy has a strong position (Britain, France, Japan, China, Russia, South Korea, USA, the countries of Central Eastern Europe). In this seminar we look at national policy paths and critical situations in nuclear energy policy development to understand the factors and specific constellations that have determined the political decision-making process and its outcome. In so doing we consider hard facts (such as the countries’ energy profiles, energy dependence, safety of supply), path dependency, political mobilization, public opinion, the ideology and strategy of political parties, the party system and the institutional framework conditions.
