From sectoral systems of innovation to socio-technical systems: Insights about dynamics and change from sociology and institutional theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make four contributions to the approach by addressing some open issues in the sectoral systems of innovation (SOSI) approach, namely, explicitly incorporating the user side in the analysis, suggesting an analytical distinction between systems, actors involved in them, and the institutions which guide actor perceptions and activities.

Regime shifts to sustainability through processes of niche formation : the approach of strategic niche management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how technical change is locked into dominant technological regimes, and present a perspective, called strategic niche management, on how to expedite a transition into a new regime.

The ongoing energy transition: Lessons from a socio-technical, multi-level analysis of the Dutch electricity system (1960-2004)
Gpj Geert Verbong,Frank W. Geels +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a socio-technical and multi-level theory on transitions is used to analyse the Dutch electricity system and find that an energy transition is already occurring, with roots in the 1960s and 1970s, but driven mainly by liberalisation and Europeanisation.
