Reihe: Energiepolitik und Klimaschutz. Energy Policy and Climate Protection

This qualitative, comparative policy study analyses whether oil revenues restraint or favor the adoption of RES. It is based on the interpretation and analysis of primary and secondary data collected in Germany and in Venezuela and draws on non-standardized interviews, informal conversations, and e-mail exchanges with Venezuelan experts, policy makers, and key actors. It allows a look beyond laws, development programs, and official statements.
