“…As an analytical tool, SNM has enabled an in-depth understanding of the conditions for successful widespread adoption of niche innovations as well as the mechanisms required to protect such innovations in the nascent stages of development (Verbong et al 2008;Ulmanen et al 2009;Boon et al 2014;Kemp et al 1998;Verhees et al 2015).…”

“…There is general agreement in the literature that the success of protected spaces is dependent on three processes: (i) shielding; (ii) nurturing; and (iii) empowering (Boon et al 2014;Verhees et al 2015). Shielding is largely an outward looking process aiming to protect niche innovations from market selection pressures.…”

“…Shielding is largely an outward looking process aiming to protect niche innovations from market selection pressures. Shielding mechanisms occur in various forms, including financial support, rule exemptions, basic research funding or dedicated programs (Verhees et al 2015). Nurturing and empowering are more internally focused.…”

“…The relationships between shielding, nurturing and empowering in protected spaces are considered to be iterative and co-dependent (Boon et al 2014;Verhees et al 2015). Initial protection, for instance, leads to early nurturing and hence provides the conditions for the development of an innovation.…”

The transition to circular economy has been heralded as a vision to overcome the challenges of rapid population growth, economic stagnation and environmental degradation. A promising policy tool for accelerating such a transition is Strategic Niche Management (SNM), the central tenet of which is the formation of ‘protected spaces’ to support the growth of sustainable innovation. Studies have demonstrated that current top-down policy approaches to governing protected spaces have led to the unintended consequences of network tensions, low quality learning processes and low innovation adoption rates outside protected spaces. This limits the impact of SNM as a transition tool. Through a detailed literature review, this paper looks into a novel devolved governance framework for protected spaces in the context of transition to circular economy. The framework addresses current limitations of SNM by acknowledging the synergistic relationship with the triple helix innovation system; and innovation intermediation. Transition to circular economy turns on the achievement of ‘triple helix consensus’ across ‘protected spaces’ to provide the requisite platform for sustained innovation and for the recurrent choice of knowledge and market systems that are consistent with the circular economy growth trajectory

“…Cooperation between government agencies, electricity companies, local manufacturers, and research centres was an important part of this process (Verhees et al 2015). However, within the national wind energy research programmes during the 1980s, little funding was devoted to offshore wind, the focus being on more mature and less costly onshore wind installations (Verhees et al 2015: 819).…”

ForewordSustainable energy transitions involve the shift of resources between competing industrial sectors and political constituencies. Stakeholders in this process have varying degrees of political and economic power, and understanding how political economic factors influence clean energy transitions is crucial to effective policy formulation and facilitating transitions to sustainable energy systems. In partnership with the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA), UNU-WIDER gathered together a substantial group of experts from around the world-from both developed and developing countries-to launch a multidisciplinary research project seeking to contribute to our enhanced understanding of these factors. The project sought to facilitate an energy transition that will generate very large environmental and economic benefits, particularly over the long run. The beneficiaries of clean energy transitions are highly diffuse and include future generations not yet born. This book is the distilled essence of the cross-cutting academic project. I express my sincere and professional appreciation to the large group of expert authors for their dedication to the project, and to my fellow editors in helping bring together the book for readers to enjoy and absorb along with the findings and policy implications.
