'This book makes a significant contribution to an increasingly important issue, namely the growing levels of social deprivation associated with the liberalization of energy markets in Central Europe. By combining the geographer's interest in place with a technical understanding of the inherited energy economies of the post-socialist states, the analysis provides critical insights into the challenges of energy poverty at a variety of scales across the post-socialist world.' Michael Bradshaw, University of Leicester, UK 'Rarely have the issues of poverty and social exclusion, energy, and post-socialist transformation been brought together. Energy Poverty in Eastern Europe provides a fascinating account of the complex dimensions of the new energy poverty in the post-socialist world. The book will become an essential source for those interested in the geographical political economy of transformation, not least because of its nuanced theoretical insights and its careful empirical depth.' Adrian Smith, Queen Mary, University of London, UK 'Stefan Buzar's book is a welcome contribution to our better understanding of eastern Europe in general and the problems of social exclusion and deprivation, the 'energy-poor' in the region, in particular.'
