The multi-level perspective on sustainability transitions: Responses to seven criticisms
TL;DR: The multi-level perspective (MLP) has emerged as a fruitful middle-range framework for analysing socio-technical transitions to sustainability as discussed by the authors. But the MLP also received constructive criticisms.

Barriers to widespread adoption of electric vehicles: An analysis of consumer attitudes and perceptions
Ona Egbue,Suzanna Long +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify potential socio-technical barriers to consumer adoption of EVs and determine if sustainability issues influence consumer decision to purchase an EV, and provide valuable insights into preferences and perceptions of technology enthusiasts; individuals highly connected to technology development and better equipped to sort out the many differences between EVs and CVs.
Journal ArticleDOI
How long will it take? Conceptualizing the temporal dynamics of energy transitions
TL;DR: The authors investigates the issue of time in global and national energy transitions by asking: What does the mainstream academic literature suggest about the time scale of energy transitions? Additionally, what does some of the more recent empirical data related to transitions say, or challenge, about conventional views?

Evaluating sustainability transitions pathways: Bridging analytical approaches to address governance challenges
Bruno Turnheim,Frans Berkhout,Frank W. Geels,Andries F. Hof,Andries F. Hof,Andrew McMeekin,Björn Nykvist,Detlef P. van Vuuren,Detlef P. van Vuuren +8 more
TL;DR: An integration strategy based on alignment, bridging, and iteration is suggested, arguing that a structured dialogue between practitioners of different approaches is needed to address questions and dilemmas faced by decision-makers and practitioners.

Scientific research about climate change mitigation in transport: a critical review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw on a revised version of Thomas Kuhn's philosophy of science to explore the path dependencies within transport studies, which are at least partly responsible for the predisposition towards quantitative modelling and technology, pricing and infrastructure oriented interventions in transport systems.

Technological transitions as evolutionary reconfiguration processes: a multi-level perspective and a case-study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the question of how technological transitions (TT) come about and identify particular patterns and mechanisms in transition processes, defined as major, long-term technological changes in the way societal functions are fulfilled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Typology of sociotechnical transition pathways
Frank W. Geels,Johan Schot +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a typology of four transition pathways: transformation, reconfiguration, technological substitution, and de-alignment and re-alignments is presented, which differ in combinations of timing and nature of multi-level interactions.

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.

Understanding carbon lock-in
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that industrial economies have been locked into fossil fuel-based energy systems through a process of technological and institutional co-evolution driven by path-dependent increasing returns to scale.
