Comfort, cleanliness and conveniencethe social organization ofnormality
TL;DR: Shove as discussed by the authors investigated the evolution of these changes, as well as the social meaning of the practices themselves, concluding that routine consumption is controlled by conceptions of normality and profoundly shaped by cultural and economic forces, and that habits are not just changing, but are changing in ways that imply escalating and standardizing patterns of consumption.

Energy systems modeling for twenty-first century energy challenges
TL;DR: In this article, the authors look at models relevant to national and international energy policy, grouping them into four categories: energy systems optimization models, energy systems simulation models, power systems and electricity market models, and qualitative and mixed-methods scenarios.

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
Functions of innovation systems: A new approach for analysing technological change
TL;DR: It is described that the emergence of a new innovation system and changes in existing innovation systems co-evolve with the process of technological change, and a method for systematically mapping those processes taking place in innovation systems and resulting in technological change is proposed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innovation studies and sustainability transitions: the allure of the multi-level perspective and its challenges
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how the history of innovation studies for sustainable development can be explained as a process of linking broader analytical frameworks to successively larger problem framings, and introduce an emerging framework whose allure rests in its ability to capture the bigger picture: the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions.
