Historical energy transitions: Speed, prices and system transformation ☆ (2016, background): “However, successful uptake tended to depend on the co-evolution of technologies, industries and institutions that enabled new energy sources to emerge from niches and become core elements in the regime (Geels 2002, Foxon 2011).”
Circular Economy: Measuring Innovation in the Product Chain (2017, positive): “Sustainability transitions are frequently induced by radical technological innovations though, and therefore often labelled as technological transitions (Geels, 2002).”
Local Governments Supporting Local Energy Initiatives: Lessons from the Best Practices of Saerbeck (Germany) and Lochem (The Netherlands) (2015, background): “incumbent-regime actors seems to counter a key assumption that applies to theorists of MLP ([25,28], TM [70], and SNM [17,29], who all essentially claim that regime-actors only interact with niche actors to slow down or deactivate niche activities.”
Beyond technology and finance: pay-as-you-go sustainable energy access and theories of social change (2015, background): “…extent that they compete with existing dominant fossilbased regimes (Kemp et al., 1998); landscape level dynamics such as widespread changes in social and political demands for low-carbon energy (Geels, 2002) or the destabilisation of incumbent socio-technical regimes (Turnheim and Geels, 2013).”
Technology roadmapping—A planning framework for evolution and revolution (2004, background): “Work on technology transitions as evolutionary reconfiguration processes [30–32] raises the level of analysis wider than a single company.”
From Policy Measures to Policy Packages (2013, background): “…might be termed the “systemic” dimension, engages directly with the tenets of the policy “problem” per se and tends to stress the significance of nonlinearity, autopoiesis and the inherent “open” and dynamic character of contemporary social systems (de Roo & Silva, 2010; Geels, 2002; Urry, 2004).”
Business models as drivers of the low carbon power system transition: a multi-level perspective (2016, background): “Adapted from Geels (2002).”
Twenty challenges to innovation studies (2015, background): “Initially, such work was regarded as rather 'flaky' by some in IS, although it is now beginning to have a significant impact (e.g. Geels, 2002).”
Integrating local and scientific knowledge for environmental management. (2010, background): “…et al., 2006), community-based natural resource management (e.g., Kellert et al., 2000; Blaikie, 2006; Robinson, 2006a,b), transitions management (e.g., Geels, 2002, 2005); sustainability science (e.g., Kates et al., 2001; Clark and Dickson, 2003) and sustainability education (Fazey, in press).”
Understanding the protein transition: The rise of plant-based meat substitutes (2020, background): “It is comprised by a number of different perspectives, including the multi-level perspective, the technological innovations systems framework, transitions management and strategic niche management (Geels, 2002; Hekkert et al., 2007; Loorbach, 2010; Schot and Geels, 2008).”
