Abstract

This paper applied a multi-level perspective to examine the decision-making process for phasing out nuclear power in Taiwan, aiming to explore how niches, regimes, and landscapes have interacted and how their endogenous dynamics (political, economic, and civil) have affected and catalyzed the decision to phase out nuclear power. The results showed that successive landscape shaking with support from endogenous dynamics may facilitate the energy transition.
