“…The adoption of the Law on Renewable Energies in 2008 91 amended in 2013 92 and the adoption in 2015 of the Energy Policy 2050 strategic document 93 constituted key regulations for the inclusion of renewable energy in Chile. These changes took place in the context of ongoing regulatory reforms that contributed to the inclusion of renewable energy sources into energy systems by modifying the framework for policy tools in line with the policy objectives 60,94,95 . Their adoption mediated by shifts in the framing energy sector in Chile reflected policy change leading to policy bricolage.…”

Latin American and Caribbean countries experience energy transitions in the context of crises affecting power electric systems. This article shows that policy failure recognition constitutes a window of opportunity for regulatory reforms supporting the diffusion of renewable energy. This argument is illustrated with the cases of Mexico and Chile, both of which are regional leaders in renewable energy after policy reforms. In both cases, policy failures were key drivers of energy transition since they mobilised different actors in the pursuit of policy changes. However, policy responses depended on how different policy failures were interpreted as the origins and solutions to perceived energy crises. This study distinguishes between critical and ordinary policy failures. In the case of a critical failure, dominant policy ideas are placed under contest; whereas, in an ordinary policy failure, the normative underpinning of the policy remains valid, and it fails only in implementation. Because policy change in the energy sector is incremental, reactions to failures lead to a policy bricolage combining novel and older policy goals and instruments. This process shifts the balance in the prioritisation of the energy trilemma components (energy equity, security of supply, and environmental sustainability).

“…Chile's 2010 entry into the OECD and free trade agreements required stricter environmental regulations (Carrasco & Maillet, 2019;Madariaga, 2019). In 2012, the Ministry of Environment introduced tighter air quality standards, which increased the cost of coal generation.…”

The Political Economy of Coal

This volume provides an overview of the political economy of coal in diverse country contexts.Coal is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions globally, accounting for about 40 percent of energy-related CO 2 emissions. Continued construction of coal-fired power plants could make the climate targets of the Paris Agreement infeasible to achieve. In spite of sharply declining costs for renewable energy sources, many countries still heavily rely on coal to meet their energy demand. The predominance of coal can only be adequately understood in light of the political factors that determine energy policy formulation. To this end, this edited volume assembles a wide variety of case studies exploring the political economy of coal for across the globe. These includes industrial and developing nations, coal importers and exporters as well as countries that are either substantial coal users, are just beginning to ramp up their capacities, or have already initiated a coal phase-out. Importantly, all case studies are structured along a unifying framework that focuses on the central actors driving energy policy formulation, their main objectives as well as the context that determines to what extent they can influence policy making. This large set of comparable studies will permit drawing conclusions regarding key similarities as well as differences driving coal use in different countries. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy, climate change, resource management, and sustainable development. It will also appeal to practitioners and policymakers involved in sustainable development.

“…Lo anterior es consistente con el aumento sostenido de la conflictividad socioterritorial durante los últimos años (Delamaza et al, 2017), que de hecho posiciona a las protestas de este tipo entre las más numerosas de la última década (Joignant et al, 2020). Así, ante las profundas desigualdades socioecológicas existentes en los territorios (Castillo, 2016), la movilización socioambiental ha logrado presionar la institucionalidad ambiental chilena, siendo central en muchos de los cambios institucionales logrados (Madariaga, 2019). Estos elementos contextuales son relevantes para comprender las dimensiones temporales, así como las estrategias políticas de las organizaciones socioambientales.…”

RESUMENEl octubre chileno marcó un punto de inflexión en el devenir político del país, catalizando un proceso de cambio constitucional. En este contexto, la investigación analiza el rol que tienen los actores socioterritoriales en el posicionamiento de las demandas ambientales en el proceso constitucional, dando cuenta de su configuración y estrategias. Para hacer esto, el artículo analiza una muestra intencionada de organizaciones socioambientales desplegadas a lo largo del territorio nacional. Del mismo modo, se desarrolla una mirada teórica sobre las estrategias políticas de las organizaciones socioambientales y establece una estrategia metodológica mixta, combinando técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas. Los resultados muestran que las organizaciones socioambientales mantienen ciertos elementos comunes respecto a las demandas ambientales que persiguen, pero difieren en la utilización de distintas estrategias de influencia sobre el proceso constituyente, tanto insider como outsider. El estudio contribuye a la discusión sobre la movilización ambiental en Chile, avanzando más allá de los estudios de caso, que son las perspectivas dominantes en este tipo de investigación, y a la vez retrata un proceso político en curso, por lo que puede aportar a la discusión pública actual. PALABRAS CLAVE: movilización socioambiental; proceso constituyente; estrategias de movilización; demandas; organizaciones.
