This study investigates how energy justice is represented in the policies of 14 Global South countries and how national policy actors perceive these dimensions. Using a three-component theoretical framework and fuzzy ideal type analysis, the research identifies six ideological typologies of energy justice: the balanced state, the procedural and distributive justice-oriented state, the distributive and restorative justice-oriented state, the procedural justice monotype state, the restorative justice monotype state, and the vulnerable state. This mid-range comparative study bridges a critical empirical gap by combining quantitative indicators with qualitative insights from senior energy ministry officials, enhancing the validity and contextual depth of the typologies. The findings contribute foundational knowledge for developing justiceoriented energy strategies, enabling intra-Global South comparison, and informing policy transitions that align with ethical, practical, and context-specific demands of energy governance. |  |\n\n1. Introduction  \nDefining energy justice is a critical step in shaping the direction of energy policy. Energy policy serves a prescriptive and instrumental role in addressing societal challenges that require government intervention [1,2]. When these challenges necessitate governmental action, they transition from social problems to public issues, requiring targeted policies [3]. Similarly, energy policy is designed to resolve specific energy-related challenges. However, the direction of such policies often reflects the values and priorities of policymakers, underscoring the need to incorporate higher-order ethical and moral principles into policy design [4]. Integrating energy justice into energy policy is essential to ensure that policies promote equitable and sustainable energy systems guided by ethical and just principles [5,6].  \nThis study revisits the issue of energy justice, particularly from the perspective of energy policy in the Global South. But why focus on the Global South? We define the Global South as comprising primarily lowand middle-income countries that are highly vulnerable to climate change, have inefficient energy consumption, and exhibit low per capita  \nenergy use. Conversely, the Global North refers to countries with higher income levels, greater energy efficiency, and more stable energy access [7,8].  \nWhile energy poverty exists in both regions, its manifestations differ. In the Global North, energy poverty—often termed fuel poverty [9]—is primarily framed around affordability, focusing on household energy expenditures, minimum income standards, and energy eff","cbCaincwT7xywurE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaincwT7xywurE","pdf",2043691,1,12,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Defining energy justice\n## Why focus on the Global South\n## Energy poverty: Global North vs Global South\n## Need for justice-oriented energy policies","[{\"question\":\"What is the central purpose of the study on energy justice?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on defining and operationalizing energy justice and analyzing how it is represented in energy policies in the Global South, including how policy actors perceive its dimensions.\"},{\"question\":\"How is energy justice analyzed across countries in the research?\",\"answer\":\"The research uses a three-component theoretical framework and fuzzy ideal type analysis to interpret policy representations across 14 Global South countries.\"},{\"question\":\"What typologies of energy justice does the study identify?\",\"answer\":\"It identifies six ideological typologies: the balanced state;
