TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Holtz, Georg A1 - Fink, Thomas T1 - Analysing the transition of Jordan's electricity system : underpinning transition pathways with mechanisms N2 - Jordan's electricity system has and continues to experience considerable pressures for reform due to continuous increase of electricity demand combined with high dependency on imported fossil fuels and a partially subsidised electricity market. In this paper we use the transitions pathways to examine and analyse pressures on the regime in relation to plausible future developments of particular niches such as renewable energy technologies. Our analysis is methodologically distinct in that we explicitly identify mechanisms operating in the system and relate those to existing scenarios to assess future developments. Currently, we see future developments being sensitive to the actions of key regime actors.
