Experimenting with sustainable transport innovations : a workbook for strategic niche management

This article serves as an introduction to this special issue as well as a self-standing contribution. Using the lens of technology, we situate European integration (typically viewed as a political process) as an emergent outcome of a process of linking and delinking of infrastructures, as well as the circulation and appropriation of artefacts, systems and knowledge. These processes carried, shaped, flagged, and helped to maintain a sense of Europeanness, bringing out tensions in Europe and tensions about Europe. We call this ‘hidden integration.’ Yet the story of integration does not point to a seamless and inevitable process, a grand project with a set agenda. Instead it was a contested process throughout the 20th century leading to fragmentation as well as to integration. Our approach is contrasted with standard interpretations of European integration that treat European integration as an episode in international relations between nation-states.

Inventing Europe: technology and the hidden integration of Europe

The field of science and technology studies (STS) has introduced and developed a “sociotechnical” perspective that has been taken up by many disciplines and areas of inquiry The aims and objectives of this study are threefold: to interrogate which sociotechnical concepts or tools from STS are useful at better understanding energy-related social science, to reflect on prominent themes and topics within those approaches, and to identify current research gaps and directions for the future To do so, the study builds on a companion project, a systematic analysis of 262 articles published from 2009 to mid-2019 that categorized and reviewed sociotechnical perspectives in energy social science It identifies future research directions by employing the method of “co-creation” based on the reflections of sixteen prominent researchers in the field in late 2019 and early 2020 Drawing from this co-created synthesis, this study first identifies three main areas of sociotechnical perspectives in energy research (sociotechnical systems, policy, and expertise and publics) with 15 topics and 39 subareas The study then identifies five main themes for the future development of sociotechnical perspectives in energy research: conditions of systematic change; embedded agency; justice, power, identity and politics; imaginaries and discourses; and public engagement and governance It also points to the recognized need for pluralism and parallax: for research to show greater attention to demographic and geographical diversity; to stronger research designs; to greater theoretical triangulation; and to more transdisciplinary approaches

Hugo van Driel is assistant professor of business history in the Faculty of Business Administration at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam. He specializes in the history of seaports and recently contributed to several chapters in Comparative Port History of Rotterdam and Antwerp (1880-2000): Competition, Cargo and Costs, ed. Ferry de Goey (Amsterdam, 2004). Johan Schot is professor of the history of technology at Eindhoven University of Technology. He has written and edited numerous books and articles on the history of technology and on constructive technology assessment, including most recently the seven-volume Techniek in Nederland in de twintigste eeuw, published by Walberg Pers, 1998-2003, and "The Contested Rise of a Modernist Technology Politics," in Modernity and Technology, ed. Thomas J. Misa, Philip Brey, and Andrew Feenberg (2003). They thank Dick van Lente, Adrian Jarvis, Michael Mende, and the Technology and Culture referees, along with the participants in the ECIS conference in Eindhoven, September 2001, and the COST340 conference "Towards a European Intermodal Transport Network: Lessons from History," Milan, May 2004, for their comments on earlier versions. Finally, they are indebted to Karen Freeze for her careful reading of a draft text and many detailed suggestions for improvement. This is a heavily revised version of an earlier article, "Regime-transformatie in de Rotterdamse graanoverslag," NEHA-Jaarboek voor Economische, Bedrijfsen Techniekgeschiedenis 64 (2001): 286-318. The research was funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).
