Abstract Details

2016, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Political Science.
This dissertation examines state and military responses to energy transitions. The research uses a methodological approach of within-case comparison to examine state and naval policy responses over time during the transition from coal to oil-fueled naval fleets. This framework for categorizing and understanding state reactions to new energy technologies explores the concurrent impact of both systemic and domestic level variables and contributes to the field of political science by exploring the process of technological diffusion. This approach can be replicated and applied to both other states and other energy transitions, providing a platform for future investigations into the impact of energy transitions and the role of state organizations in shaping the outcomes of such transitions. The dissertation contributes to the various literatures by filling a gap in the qualitative assessment of state and military experiences during energy transitions and also by tracing the process by which new energy technology diffused among different states and militaries.
