“…about whether STTs are revolutionary or evolutionary; the role of agency in facilitating systemic change; how to conceptualise instability within sociotechnical systems), the general goal of STT is to understand how social and technological systems are coupled in order to learn the levers for, and the potential implications of, structural change in systems of provision and consumption. The theoretical project of STT is connected to a practical outlet in the form of 'transition management', wherein particular understandings of STT translate into different kinds of strategic management propositions and practices (Loorbach 2007;Loorbach and Rotmans 2010).…”

“…Coenen, Benneworth, and Truffer (2012), for example, point out that STT processes and outcomes are shaped by institutional embeddedness (territorial context) and aim to identify how STTs are dependent on spatial context and in particular spatial differentiations in niche-regime interactions. The implication here is that 'a spatially variegated institutional landscape gives rise to some regions and nations forging ahead in terms of sustainability transition processes while others lag behind' (Coenen, Raven, and Verbong 2010, 975; see also Loorbach and Rotmans 2010;Späth and Rohracher 2012).…”

“…According to the transition management literature, changes arise through the interaction between the following levels of governance activities: strategic, tactical and operational, and reflexive (Kemp, Loorbach and Rotmans, 2007, p.82;Loorbach, 2007, p.101ff.). Loorbach and Rotmans (2010) explain these levels of governance activities:…”

Abstract:In this paper, an analysis was made of the role of public support schemes funding demonstration, test and trial activities for sustainable development in energy and road transport. This paper presents the analysis of the effects of demonstration projects in transition processes to sustainable energy and transport in the Scandinavian countries on the development of knowledge networks and on interaction with users. The main purpose of this paper is: (1) to analyse the role of publically funded demonstration projects concerning changes in knowledge networks of project participants over time; (2) analysing policy priorities in collaboration by the public funding programmes. The paper addresses following research questions: (1) How successful are Scandinavian demonstration projects in contributing to the development of knowledge networks for sustainable energy and transport transitions? (2) Do Scandinavian demonstration programmes prioritise learning in international knowledge networks and user involvement? (3) How have demonstration projects contributed to transition processes? Keywords: demonstration projects; networking; social network analysis; sustainable energy; sustainable transport; transition processes. Demonstration projects in transition processes 97This paper is a revised and expanded version of a paper entitled 'Demonstration projects in transition processes to sustainable energy and transport ', presented

“…One approach for understanding this kind of transition arises from studies of the factors influencing the change between socio-technological regimes, such as a shift to low carbon forms of energy (Loorbach & Rotmans 2010). These studies have adapted an approach used to analyse socio-ecological systems (Folke et al 2004).…”

More details/abstract: Many Asian countries are in the midst of multiple interconnected social, economic, demographic, technological, institutional and environmental transitions. These changes are having important impacts on health and well-being and on the capacity of health systems to respond to health-related problems. This paper focuses on the creation of institutions to overcome information asymmetry and encourage the provision of safe, effective and affordable health services in this context of complexity and rapid change. It presents a review of literature on different approaches to the analysis of the management of system development and institution-building. There is a general agreement that the outcome of an intervention depends a great deal on the way that a large number of agents respond. Their response is influenced by the institutional arrangements that mediate relationships between health sector actors and also by their understandings and expectations of how other actors will respond. The impact of a policy or specific intervention is difficult to predict and there is a substantial risk of unintended outcomes. This creates the need for an iterative learning approach in which widespread experimentation is encouraged, good and bad experiences are evaluated and policies are formulated on the basis of the lessons learned. This enables actors to learn their roles and responsibilities and the appropriate responses to new incentive structures. The paper concludes with an outline of the information needs of managers of health system change in societies in the midst of rapid development.
