TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an extensive review and an updated research agenda for the field, classified into nine main themes: understanding transitions; power, agency and politics; governing transitions; civil society, culture and social movements; businesses and industries; transitions in practice and everyday life; geography of transitions; ethical aspects; and methodologies.

TL;DR: The Management and Transition Framework is presented, an interdisciplinary conceptual and methodological framework supporting the analysis of water systems, management processes and multi-level governance regimes that integrates a range of concepts to develop a more coherent understanding of the complexity of water management regimes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the benefits of modelling for studying large societal systems and elaborates on different ways models can be used for transitions studies, including better cooperation in the development of dynamic models and stronger interaction with other transition scholars and stakeholders.

TL;DR: A framework for defining and describing “regimes”, the systems resulting from the broad and interdisciplinary view taken by transition research is suggested, which develops five defining characteristics of regimes and gives a definition based on them.

TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to explore the characteristics of this niche in relation to a range of existing modelling approaches and literatures with which it shares commonalities or from which it could draw, and distil a number of key aspects a transitions model should be able to address.
