An assessment of India’s energy landscape: 2008–13 by Deb, K

“…As the global economy spiralled into the worst financial crisis since the great Depression in 2008 (according to Nouriel Roubini, Kenneth Rogoff, and Nariman Behravesh, in a press release reported in Reuters, 27 February 2009), India seemed to be bucking the trend. A five-year average GDP growth rate of 8.6 per cent per annum (p.a.) over 2003–8, more than twice that of the world average of 3.8 per cent p.a., and a full percentage point higher than the rest of the non-OECD countries (7.6 per cent p.a.), had arguably set India up for what was expected to be a period of high growth, rivalling that of China. …”

Political strategies to overcome climate policy obstructionism by Srivastav, S, Rafaty, R

“…From this we deduce a set of strategies for how the climate movement competes against entrenched hydrocarbon interests. Five strategies for overcoming obstructionism emerge: (1) appeasement, which involves compensating the losers; (2) co-optation, which seeks to instigate change by working with incumbents; (3) institutionalism, which involves changes to public institutions to support decarbonization; (4) antagonism, which creates reputational or litigation costs to inaction; and (5) countervailance, which makes low-carbon alternatives more competitive. …”

Motivated knowledge acquisition: implicit self-theories and the preference for knowledge breadth or depth by Crolic, C, Clarkson, JJ, Otto, AS, Murphy, MC

“…Specifically, we propose that incremental theorists prefer knowledge that expands their understanding of diverse experiences within a category (i.e., knowledge breadth), whereas entity theorists prefer knowledge that refines their understanding of a preferred experience within a category (i.e., knowledge depth). Five studies show the effect of implicit self-theories on individuals’ preferences for knowledge breadth and depth and the role of learning and performance goals in motivating these knowledge preferences. …”
