Co-ocurrencias y tendencias en transición energética y poder corporativo: 2015–2026
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Su propósito es identificar la estructura temática dominante del campo, estimar la presencia e integración del vocabulario asociado al poder corporativo y señalar asimetrías que orienten una agenda de investigación. Con un corpus de Scopus depurado, se aplican análisis bibliométricos de co-ocurrencia (títulos y palabras clave), indicadores descriptivos y tendencias temporales, complementados con una prueba de sensibilidad terminológica. Los resultados muestran un núcleo temático tecnoclimático y de implementación, articulado en torno a renovables, descarbonización, política energética e inversión. El repertorio de economía política crítica (p. ej., incumbencia, lobbying, interlocks o captura) aparece de forma desigual y, cuando está presente, tiende a ocupar posiciones periféricas y con conectividad limitada respecto a los organizadores principales. Este patrón sugiere una segmentación conceptual: la transición se enmarca predominantemente como un problema de despliegue tecnológico y gestión, mientras que las dimensiones de poder e influencia institucional quedan menos integradas. Se discuten implicaciones para la investigación y la evaluación de transiciones, y se propone una agenda que combine bibliometría con co-citación, redes de colaboración y datos sobre élites (interlocks, propiedad y PEPs) para relacionar estructura de poder y trayectorias de descarbonización.
