“…Moreover, the common challenges faced by these countries, including energy security concerns, the need for sustainable economic development, and commitments under the Paris Agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions, underscore the critical importance of energy transition initiatives. These efforts highlight the intricate relationship between global environmental commitments, national energy strategies, and the local socioeconomic fabric, underscoring the need for policies that are carefully tailored to address the unique challenges and capitalize on the opportunities available in each country [5].…”

“…The concept of energy transition inherently extends beyond the visible facets of renewable energy, such as wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, to denote a deeper, systemic shift that requires a comprehensive reorientation of societal activities, legal frameworks, and organizational policies toward sustainability. Supported by empirical evidence, transition theory posits that the path to a sustainable energy paradigm depends on fostering an environment conducive to both environmental and economic innovation, supported by a robust and adaptable legal and institutional infrastructure [1][2][3][4][5]. 2 Despite its considerable natural resource wealth and strategic importance in the global energy market, the MENA region faces significant institutional barriers that impede its transition efforts.…”

“…The academic discourse on the impact of institutional frameworks on energy transitions remains nascent and fragmented. A critical review of the existing literature reveals divergences in the methodologies and variables used to assess the impact of institutional quality on renewable energy adoption, leading to different conclusions and highlighting the need for a more unified analytical approach [5,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining the MENA-specific institutional barriers to energy transitions and elucidating the institutional dimensions that are central to an indepth analysis of their facilitative or obstructive role.…”

The transition to sustainable energy systems in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region addresses critical challenges of environmental protection, energy security, and socio-economic resilience. Using neo-institutional theory, this paper examines the intricate relationship between formal and informal institutions and their significant impact on the region’s energy transition. Despite the MENA region’s abundant renewable energy resources, numerous institutional barriers, such as governance inefficiencies, regulatory inconsistencies, and entrenched socio-cultural norms, significantly hinder this transition. Through a review of existing literature, this study presents a comprehensive analytical framework designed to overcome these barriers, with a focus on the Just and Sustainable Energy Transition model. This strategic model emphasizes equity, sustainability, and inclusive governance as pillars for reform. The study offers detailed recommendations for institutional change and underscores the importance of collaborative efforts among governments, industry stakeholders, and international partners to unlock the MENA region’s renewable energy potential, advance global sustainability goals, and ensure a more secure and resilient energy future.

“…While conducting this study's literature review, previous studies on several electricity policies in Nigeria were reviewed [1,[14][15][16][17][18]. The nine policies outlined in Table 1 were chosen to receive an in-depth analysis as part of this research project to understand better how they impacted the nation's capacity for the generation and distribution of electricity between the years 2001 and 2020.…”

Electricity is a crucial component of sustainable development in developing countries, providing opportunities to supply low-cost clean energy to their populations. This paper presents a decision support tool for the Nigerian case, allowing users to rank different enhancement options to meet future scenarios. The tool enables feasibility checks on infrastructure capacity and can handle various generation options, including low-cost renewable resources. It is easy to use for non-experts and decision-makers and incorporates an optimal power flow algorithm to minimize costs. Demonstrated on a modified IEEE 30-bus system informed by Nigerian scenarios, this tool can provide policymakers with valuable insights for long-term investment decisions and facilitate the delivery of low-cost clean energy to developing countries.

O Alto-Comissariado das Nações Unidas para Refugiados (ACNUR) foi criado com a missão de proteger refugiados. Ao longo de sua história, a organização lidou com vários desafios e, como resposta, ampliou seu mandato inicial para expandir os grupos sob sua proteção. Partindo de uma abordagem institucionalista e com o objetivo de expandir o entendimento de processos complexos de mudança institucional, este artigo se propôs a caracterizar a trajetória histórica do mandato do ACNUR, que lhe permitiu ampliar sua forma de atuação e incorporar apátridas ao seu rol protetivo. Por meio de uma revisão sistemática, foram selecionados 32 textos para identificar os vetores institucionais atuantes na origem e nos principais processos de mudança institucional, que afetaram historicamente a atuação do ACNUR e ampliaram seu mandato inicial. Os resultados demonstram que, com frequência, a organização usou de sua discricionariedade e dotações de poder para explorar ambiguidades institucionais e promover mudanças que lhe permitissem ampliar seu mandato.
