• Road to zero or road to nowhere? Disrupting transport and energy in a zero carbon world (2020, background): “The original framework (Unruh and Carrillo-Hermosilla, 2006) had two axes of organisation: degree of disruption (continuity à disruption) and degree of lockin (developing à industrialised).”
• Transition failure: Understanding continuity in the automotive industry (2012, background): “As Unruh and Carrillo-Hermosilla [109] have previously observed, the relative ease with which regulatory measures are introduced is itself an outcome of path dependency, but can easily result in sub-optimal policy outcomes.”
• Stranded assets and stranded resources: Implications for climate change mitigation and global sustainable development (2019, background): “adoption of a selected technology’ [77] – refer to the dominance, and the deep interdependence, of technological infrastructures with carbonintensive technologies [79] inhibiting the transition to low-carbon technologies.”
• Renewable energy diffusion in Asia: Can it happen without government support? (2013, background): “The region is therefore at risk of becoming “locked in” to a higher emission pathway as countries seek to meet their surging energy demands (Unruh, 2006).”
• Conceptualizing leapfrogging with spatially coupled innovation systems: The case of onsite wastewater treatment in China (2012, background): “As NICs often follow the technological trajectories of industrialized countries, they risk reproducing the same “carbon lock-in economy” [1, 2].”
• The political economy of car dependence: A systems of provision approach (2020, background): “development strategies that have proven successful in industrial countries” ([104]:1188).”
• Pulling up the carbon ladder? Decarbonization, dependence, and third-country risks from the European carbon border adjustment mechanism (2021, background): “In addition, the paper links the body of CBAM literature to streams of research on the complexity of carbon lock-in and the particular challenges faced by developing countries in decarbonizing their energy systems [10].”
• A low carbon industrial revolution? Insights and challenges from past technological and economic transformations (2012, background): “In a series of papers, Unruh (2000, 2002); Unruh and Carrillo-Hermosilla, 2006) 4 See also Castaldi and Nuvolari (2003) and Edquist and Henrekson (2006).”
