“…Motivated by various symptoms of the (urban) sustainability crisis, similar propositions have also emerged in other scientific fields, offering diverse ideas of what characterizes TC, and how it differs from adaptive capacity (Healey 1998;Coleman and Chiasson 2002;Innes and Booher 2003;Moulaert et al 2005;Halpin and Daugbjerg 2008;Olsson et al 2010;Dolata 2013;Griffith 2014;Ardoin et al 2015;Rauschmayer et al 2015). While encompassing all adaptation requirements, these propositions commonly identify two additional capabilities that are critical for transformations: To be able to actively disrupt and dismantle existing systems, and to simultaneously create and build up viable alternatives (Moore et al 2018).…”

Urban transformations form a central challenge for enabling global pathways towards sustainability and resilience. However, it remains unclear what kind of capacity is needed to deliver urban change that is actually transformative. Against a backdrop of current claims and efforts to achieve urban transformations, this special issue reviews the relational concept of urban transformative capacity and how it can inform novel approaches in research, policy, and practice. Drawing on seven papers analyzing diverse empirical contexts, we identify four requirements that should guide future action: (1) foster inclusion and empowerment as prerequisites, (2) close the intermediation gap and strengthen the role of local academia, (3) challenge and reinvent urban planning as a key arena, and (4) enhance reflexivity through novel selfassessment techniques. Overall, current levels of urban transformative capacity are assessed as very low, making its development a high-priority objective for all stakeholders, but for planning and research policy in particular.

“…The Australian organic farming policy network is a very loose construction, which suffers from contested relationships among its members, including the Organic Federation of Australia and Biological Farmers of Australia (Halpin & Daugbjerg, 2008, p. 199; Wheeler, 2011, p. 905). Certification companies have acted as de facto industry spokes groups, but they are also divided.…”

“…This has meant that the network and its members have not been able to develop any particularly strong “rules of the game” or norms. As Halpin and Daugbjerg (2008) have argued, Measured against the governmental desire for a united and encompassing organisational entity, these certifiers have geographical biases . .…”

This article develops a heuristic for comparative governance analysis. The heuristic depicts four network types by combining network structure with the state's capacity to metagovern. It suggests that each network type produces a particular combination of input and output legitimacy. We illustrate the heuristic and its utility using a comparative study of agri-food networks (organic farming and land use) in four countries, which each exhibit different combinations of input and output legitimacy respectively. The article concludes by using a fifth case study to illustrate what a network type that produces high levels of input and output legitimacy might look like.

“…In essence, the state regulates certifiers, who in turn certify producers. However, the state has recently sought to transfer this task to an industry-based body regulated by Standards Australia (see Halpin and Daugbjerg, 2008).…”

Interest-group capacities and infant industry development: State-sponsored growth in organic farming

Both interest-group and public-policy scholars accept that groups are important to policy formulation and implementation because they hold valuable capacities. However, the literature has not dealt with whether, and how, groups develop capacities. In this article, we examine the question of group capacity development by focusing on the adaption of specific groups to evolving policy contexts. Taking the example of organic farm policy we look at the impact that divergent policy strategies aimed at growing this infant industry sector have had on the way related industry groups have evolved in four countries. This comparative study supports our argument that policy strategy is one key force in shaping the capacities that groups develop over time.
