Modelling complex systems of heterogeneous agents to better design sustainability transitions policy (2015, background): “…regime transitions (e.g. Holtz 2011, Holtz et al. 2015, Mercure 2015, Safarzynska and van den Bergh 2010, 2012, Köhler et al. 2009, see also Turnheim et al. 2015), in which ‘core characteristics of transitions’ are itemised as (i) ‘multi-domain interactions’, (ii) ‘path-dependency’, and…”
The co-evolution of policy mixes and socio-technical systems: Towards a conceptual framework of policy mix feedback in sustainability transitions (2019, background): “Due to the long timeframes involved in sustainability transitions, the types of policy instruments aimed to foster transitions may change significantly over time to address changing objectives and different stages of innovation (Turnheim et al., 2015).”
A review of research into automation in tourism: Launching the Annals of Tourism Research Curated Collection on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Tourism (2020, background): “The concept of sustainability transition (Markard, Raven, & Truffer, 2012; Safarzyńska, Frenken, & van den Bergh, 2012; Smith, Voß, & Grin, 2010; Turnheim et al., 2015) is critical to guide research in this area, and specifically to identify how AI systems can be leveraged to shape transition…”
Transformative policy mixes in socio-technical scenarios: The case of the low-carbon transition of the German electricity system (2010–2050) (2020, background): “That is, eight iterative steps ensured a structured dialogue between modellers and transitions scholars, thereby bridging two analytical approaches (Turnheim et al., 2015).”
Integrating techno-economic, socio-technical and political perspectives on national energy transitions: A meta-theoretical framework (2018, background): “The strategic niche management (SNM) approach in particular emphasizes the need to foster such innovative niches to facilitate technological innovation [91].”
Ordering theories: Typologies and conceptual frameworks for sociotechnical change (2017, unknown): “Turnheim et al. (2015) agree when they write that a structured dialogue among practitioners of different approaches is needed to better understand processes and pathways of sociotechnical change.”
Bridging analytical approaches for low-carbon transitions (2016, unknown): “Some weaknesses of the socio-technical approach and MLPs are the limited assessment of sustainability outcomes and achievement of future targets, reliance on qualitative case study methods, limited quantitative generalization, and the focus on policy strategies rather than policy instruments 35 .”
Sustainability Transitions Research: Transforming Science and Practice for Societal Change (2017, background): “Once disturbed by external crises, internal tensions or better alternatives (37, 39, 40), reorganization toward a new equilibrium is by definition shock-wise and whimsical, creating chaotic and unpredictable patterns of change.”
Modelling the dynamics of technological innovation systems (2016, background): “Indeed, Turnheim et al. (2015) have recently argued for a bridging approach between formal modelling, socio-technical analysis and practice-based learning (rather than an integrative approach).”
