The research body of my thesis consists of three research articles. The first paper investigates the normative assumptions about well-being and politics that underpin the theoretical case for carbon pricing and sheds light on blind spots, while the second and the third paper extend the focus beyond carbon pricing. The second paper delves into the implications of unequal gender power relations in the formulation of a just decarbonisation strategy within the road transport sector. The third paper exploresthe entangled socio-material relations that influence the state’s capacity to phase-out fossil fuels in the aviation sector.
