Abstract

A worldwide and profound techno-economic paradigm transition is currently under way: this is the restructuring
towards a greener global economy, which has important implications for latecomer development. More so than earlier,
transition is driven by deliberate changes in polices, strategies and institutions. These changes may create ‘green
windows of opportunity’ because mission-guided technical change and market development influence the conditions
for economic development. In this research we draw on insights from China, exploring how opportunities emerge and
vary in different renewable energy sectors. We highlight the important role emerging economies may attain in the green
transformation itself and distill implications for policy.
