Conceptualising multi-regime interactions: The role of the agriculture sector in renewable energy transitions (2015, background): “While a regime does not necessarily equate to a sector – Geels and Kemp (2007) are clear that a regime can exist at multiple levels – for these purposes, it is necessary to consider the whole agriculture production sector a regime, because renewable energy production occurs across farming types…”
Transition and transformation: A bibliometric analysis of two scientific networks researching socio-technical change (2014, unknown): “For the transformation literature, the largest network is a lot smaller: 19 authors, led by Kemp (see Fig.”
The uniqueness of the energy security, justice, and governance problem☆ (2012, background): “…buy low carbon one), reverting directions taken (e.g. re-organize human life and economic activity towards urban 2 For a discussion on change in socio-technological systems see Geels and Kemp (2007). areas and concentrate population in order to reduce carbon intensity), or simply switching habits.”
Transition failure: Understanding continuity in the automotive industry (2012, background): “Broadly speaking, those concerned with a ‘transitions’ approach when seeking to understand the trajectory of future change [3–6] consider that there can be socio-economic or environmental imperatives underpinning the need for transition towards more sustainable structures and practices.”
Transition pathways revisited: Established firms as multi-level actors in the heavy vehicle industry (2015, background): “The regime is ‘dynamically stable’ (Geels and Kemp, 2007), implying that it can accommodate incremental innovations along established trajectories; however, it has problems in driving radical technological innovation.”
Local Demonstrations for Global Transitions—Dynamics across Governance Levels Fostering Socio-Technical Regime Change Towards Sustainability (2012, result): “Moreover, radical shifts are usually impossible to identify from a close view, where changes are rather gradual and patchy – in contrast to the long-term historic perspective transition case studies often take (see, e.g. Geels, 2005; Geels & Kemp, 2007).”
An Evolutionary Perspective on the Economics of Energy Consumption: The Crucial Role of Habits (2009, background): “In other words, provided that a habit has been formed through the satisfactory repetition of a given behavior and that the goal associated with that habit is activated,19 the presence of the specific cue automatically triggers the habitual behavior.”
The political economy of energy transitions in Mozambique and South Africa: The role of the Rising Powers (2016, background): “It is expected that structural changes in the socio-technical system occur where there are ‘alignments’ between the three levels resulting in ‘transformations’ (Geels and Kemp 2007) or in ‘transitions’ (Geels 2002).”
An interdisciplinary perspective on industrial energy efficiency (2010, background): “Another way is to contribute to changes in practices and routines of existing regime actors [21,22] which can be done through for example, seminars and conferences.”
Policy mixes for incumbency: Exploring the destructive recreation of renewable energy, shale gas ‘fracking,’ and nuclear power in the United Kingdom (2017, unknown): “Turnheim, B. & Geels, F.W., 2013.”
