Abstract
In order to fully investigate the social effects of energy technologies in developing countries, I argue that there is need for a new theoretical framework, which combines approaches within Science and Technology Studies (SCOT) and Development Studies (Capability Approach) to acknowledge the interconnection of technology and development and to strengthen both research fields. This new theoretical framework is illustrated by using the solar box cooker as a technological artifact.
