"Visions, imaginaries, and fictional expectations are central for an understanding of our energy futures, determining what is desirable and undesirable, achievable or impossible. Energy visions should feature centrally in our research and policy mixes, and I welcome Visions of Energy Futures for ambitiously pushing such an agenda forward." -- Maarten Hajer, Professor of Urban Futures, Utrecht University,The Netherlands

"Visions, discourses and framings of low-carbon innovations shape meanings and legitimacy that, in turn, influence support from various actors, including policymakers and funders. Contributing to debates about the performative roles of visions, Benjamin Sovacool’s new book draws important lessons from six case studies across various countries and domains, which illuminate how future energy systems are affected by discursive strugglesat present. Important reading for students and scholars alike." -- Frank Geels, Professor of System Innovation, University of Manchester, UK
"Technology is rooted in the future. Hence, the development and use of low-carbon energy systems requires fundamental changes in how the future is imagined. Benjamin Sovacool elegantly explores and explains how imaginations of the future could feed, guide and inspire technological innovations in six state-of-the-art energy systems. This book provides an important and timely contribution to the questof energy transitions." -- Harro van Lente, Professor of Science and Technology Studies, Maastricht University, The Netherlands

"The dominant consensus among political scientists, and in the West more broadly, is that Orthodox Christianity is unfriendly towards democracy. In this critically important study, political scientist Marko Veković surprises readers with a far more dynamic and diverse reality. Through incisive analysis and thorough research, he demonstrates that Orthodox churches have acted both as leaders and resisters in the wave of democratization in Orthodox-majority countries that has taken place since the end of the Cold War. In doing so, he succeeds in filling a yawning gap in scholarship on religion and global politics and in producing a book that every student of this field would do well to read." — Daniel Philpott, University of Notre Dame, USA

"The relations between Orthodox Christianity and democratisation have often been portrayed in a negative light, not the least in post-communist times. By comparing democratisation processes in three predominantly Orthodox countries (Greece, Serbia and Russia), this book offers rich and valuable insights and argues for a necessary nuanced approach to the specificities of each Orthodox milieu that will help avoiding generalisations and ideologisations." — Vasilios N. Makrides, University of Erfurt, Germany

"The book will be useful not only for those who are professionally engaged in the religion issues, but also for people who are interested in the direction and course of political processes in the modern world. Considering religious traditions and political practices in countries of the Orthodox Christian Churches, the author shows that in a situation of postmodernism in the context of cultural ambiguity determination changes occur not only in the basis of identity, but also in relations between the Church, government and society that has affected the process of democratization in Greece, Serbia and Russia." — Nataliya Velikaya, Russian State University for the Humanities, Russia

"This book is a valuable contribution of the Belgrade’s school of politology of religion towards better understanding of the political importance of Orthodox Christianity across Eastern Europe. Dr Marko Veković offers useful, original and comparative insights in the roles of the Orthodox Christian Churches in the political processes in Greece, Serbia and Russia, and shows that studying and analysing religion is of great importance for understanding politics in this part of the world." — Miroljub Jevtić, University of Belgrade, Serbia

This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the topic of maternity leave." —Meghna Sabharwal, University of Texas at Dallas, USA
