A more recent focus by Clifford Shearing is exploring the issue of the impact of shifting earth systems (the Anthropocene).
Research on energy is exploring institutional drivers of transformation in the generation and distribution of electrical energy. Research partnerships include universities of Bergen and New South Wales. A forthcoming book titled Electricity, Energy Transitions and the Anthropocene: Comparing Shifts in the Energy-Development Nexus will be published by Edgar Elgar.
