ABSTRACT
The previous three chapters pointed to some of the ways in which the path of the post-socialist transformation process has varied across different countries, regions and cities. It is likely that such trends have also produced divergent patterns of energy poverty at the micro scale. However, further explorations of these dissimilarities require a closer look at the kinds of organizational and political dynamics that have shaped the evolution of energy, welfare and housing institutions. A key question in this context is: how does the emergence of domestic energy deprivation relate to decision-making patterns in the relevant policy domains?
