| Summary/Abstract |
Offshore wind technology has recently undergone rapid deployment in the UK. And yet, up until recently, the UK was considered a laggard in terms of deploying renewable energy. How can this burst of offshore wind activity be explained? An economic analysis would seek signs for newfound competitiveness for offshore wind in energy markets. A policy analysis would highlight renewable energy policy developments and assess their contribution to economic prospects of offshore wind. However, neither perspective sheds sufficient light on the advocacy of the actors involved in the development and deployment of the technology. Without an account of technology politics it is hard to explain continuing policy support despite rising costs. By analysing the actor networks and narratives underpinning policy support for offshore wind, we explain how a fairly effective protective space was constructed through the enroling of key political and economic interests.

| Summary/Abstract |
An account of the 2013 tour to Indonesia which encompassed Jakarta, Central and Eastern Java, Sulawesi and Torajaland, as well as Bali. Beyond visits to world famous tourist sites like Borobodur, Prambanan and the island of Bali, the members of the tour party tried to come to an understanding of the diversity of modern Indonesia, its politics, its economic prospects and the role of Islam. The party had a number of meetings with prominent actors in modern Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim state. Economic prospects are promising and the Presidential elections in July 2014 and their result will give an indication of the country's likely trajectory.
