The politics of accelerating low-carbon transitions: Towards a new research agenda
Cameron Roberts,Frank W. Geels,Matthew Lockwood,Peter Newell,Hubert Schmitz,Bruno Turnheim,Andrew Jordan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the politics of deliberate acceleration by taking stock of emerging examples, mobilizing relevant theoretical approaches, and articulating a new research agenda, including the role of coalitions in supporting and hindering acceleration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing energy demand through low carbon innovation: A sociotechnical transitions perspective and thirteen research debates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that a socio-technical transition perspective is more suited to address the complexity of the challenges involved, and identify and describe thirteen debates in socio technical transitions research, organized under the headings of emergence, diffusion and impact, as well as more synthetic crosscutting issues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normative contestation in transitions ‘in the making’: Animal welfare concerns and system innovation in pig husbandry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate a system innovation in the making that is driven by normative concerns, such as sustainability or animal welfare, initially formulated by outsiders like special-interest groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-niche analysis of dynamics and policies in Dutch renewable energy innovation journeys (1970-2006): hype-cycles, closed networks and technology-focused learning
TL;DR: This article analyses long-term innovation policies and development trajectories of four renewable energy technologies: wind energy, biomass, fuel cells and hydrogen, and photovoltaics and concludes that major problems exist with regard to learning processes, social networks, and expectations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co-evolutionary and multi-level dynamics in transitions: The transformation of aviation systems and the shift from propeller to turbojet (1930–1970)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with system innovation in Freeman and Perez's innovation typology (incremental, radical, system, techno-economic paradigm) and conceptualize these changes as transitions from one socio-technical system to another.
