*The Politics of Resilient and Just Energy Transitions: Institutions and Critical Infrastructure * ** Edited by Pami Aalto and Marco Siddi /Deadline for Abstracts: 15 September 2025 /| /Deadline for Articles: 28 February 2026/ Politics and Governance, peer-reviewed journal indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (Web of Science; Impact Factor: 2.5) and Scopus (CiteScore: 4.9), welcomes new and exciting research papers for its upcoming issue "The Politics of Resilient and Just Energy Transitions: Institutions and Critical Infrastructure," edited by Pami Aalto and Marco Siddi. Low-carbon transitions involve resilience challenges associated with the implementation of new energy systems, green electrification, and related critical infrastructure. As political leaders and policy-makers are called upon to make urgent decisions on how to implement the transition, it is important to ensure that energy transitions are just and not overly securitised. The key questions addressed in this thematic issue include the following: * How do we conceptualise the resilience of critical energy infrastructure? * What are the main security risks to energy infrastructure in the context of green transition and geopolitical conflict and what are existing policy frameworks to tackle them? * What are the political and governance challenges related to new energy infrastructure development? * How are resilience and justice conceptualised and operationalised in the policies of major global actors and energy transition leaders (i.e., the US, China, EU, Japan, Germany, Finland, and Norway)?
