“…Although women play a vital role in shaping and driving energy transitions (see, for instance, Allen et al, 2019), this is still far from being the norm. The contemporary energy predicament undervalues and underestimates women's visions and solutions (Lieu et al, 2020).…”

Democratizing Energy, Energizing Democracy: Central Dimensions Surfacing in the Debate

This perspective piece sets out to contribute to the academic and practitioner debates around energy transitions and democracy initiatives in the age of a climate crisis. For tackling present-day energy challenges in a democratic, equitable and just manner, critical social science and humanities research on meaning and materialities, new actors and narratives, values and democracy is indispensable. In doing so, we centralize our work around three fundamental axes: The Concept, reflecting on the energy itself and revitalizing its essence; The Political, embracing the value laden, political and gendered nature of energy, and recognizing citizens' initiatives as counter currents to centralized energy decision-making; and The People, anticipating the far right's posttruth narratives that jeopardize planetary futures. We contend that "normative, political and embodied" research and praxis can serve for diversifying the energy transition debate as well as energizing bottom-up community led initiatives in order to democratize the energy playing field of recent times.

“…The disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable populations and women throughout the world, the disparate health and wellbeing consequences of traditional fossil fuel-based energy, environmental racism, and general inequities in access to renewable energy are all factors considered under a global energy justice framework. In the face of the existential threat of a mass extinction driven by global warming, a number of leaders have emerged worldwide, all sharing the goal of reducing reliance on fossil fuels to effectively address many of these energy justice concerns (Allen et al, 2019). And many of these leaders are women.…”

“…Where the Pilkades became a form of distribution of the will of the people in the village area (Hess, 2019). The village head is directly elected by the people (Allen, Lyons, & Stephens, 2019). In fact, the election of village heads is no longer pure because it has been intervened by various forces and interests, but it is far more democratic than the election (Bond et al, 2019).…”

This study aims to analyze the model of holding village head elections between times with a case study in Reban Village, Reban District, Batang Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a sociological juridical approach(Dawkins et al., 2019). The results of this study indicate that: 1). Inter-village head election procedures in Reban Village, Reban District, Batang Regency are in accordance with the mandate of Article 47 of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. However, referring to Article 45 of Government Regulation No. 43 of 2014 there are stages of selection that are not yet in accordance with technical rules: a). The holding of the election exceeds the specified time limit. Limitations of technical guidelines become the main obstacle b). Funding for the election is still fully burdened to the candidates for village heads. 2). The mechanism for electing village heads over time through a voting model with a representative system. Voters who have the right to vote are every family head who lives in Reban Village, proven by a Family Card. Elections are democratic with a turnout of 94.9%.
