Abstract: Energy poverty has undergone a conceptual evolution over the past thirty years. The issue, which first entered the social policy agenda in developed countries under the heading of “fuel poverty,” subsequently became part of the development agenda in developing countries under the heading of “lack of access to modern energy services.” *Energy Poverty: Global Challenges and Local Solutions*, edited by Halff, Sovacool, and Rozhon and published by Oxford University Press in 2014, is an anthology that attempts to bring these two agendas together within a single framework. With its twenty-one chapters and a three-tiered structure comprising “The Picture of Energy Poverty,” “Lessons Learned,” and “Challenges and Policy Options,” the book serves as a platform that simultaneously advances both the empirical and policy-oriented discussions in the field.

Enerji yoksulluğu, son otuz yılda kavramsal bir yolculuk geçirmektedir. Önce gelişmiş ülkelerde “yakıt yoksulluğu” başlığı altında sosyal politika gündemine giren mesele, müteakip dönemde gelişmekte olan ülkelerde “modern enerji hizmetlerine erişimsizlik” başlığıyla kalkınma gündemine yerleşmiştir. Halff, Sovacool ve Rozhon’un editörlüğünde 2014’te Oxford University Press tarafından yayımlanan Energy Poverty: Global Challenges and Local Solutions, bu iki gündemi tek bir çerçevede buluşturmayı deneyen bir derleme olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Yirmi bir bölüm ve “Enerji Yoksulluğunun Resmi”, “Çıkarılan Dersler”, “Sorunlar ve Politika Seçenekleri” şeklindeki üç katmanlı yapısıyla kitap, alanın hem ampirik hem politika tartışmalarını eş zamanlı yürüten bir mahiyet arz eder.
