Rethinking the multi-level perspective of technological transitions (2008, background): “Geels and Schot (2005) identify 5 transition paths plus a path which does not represent a truly ‘radical’ transition, but rather system renewal characterised by constant incremental innovation: Transformation – socio-technical regimes that change without recourse to one dominant technology (e.g. in ”
Infrastructure transformation as a socio-technical process — Implications for the governance of energy distribution networks in the UK (2015, neutral): “institutional frameworks and the strategies and practices of a range of actors including, for example, utility companies, sector regulators, policy makers, and end users [7,27,37].”
Multi-regime dynamics in the analysis of sectoral transformation potentials: evidence from German utility sectors (2008, background): “Typical examples are the transition from gas to electricity in lighting, from pumps and surface waters to piped water in water provision or from cesspools to integrated sewer systems in sanitation [13-15].”
Reducing energy demand: A review of issues, challenges and approaches (2015, background): “sailing ships to steam ships [70]; Dutch water supply [73]; US factory organisation [81]), Geels proposes a variety of pathways through which systems may be transformed [82].”
The structuration of socio-technical regimes—Conceptual foundations from institutional theory (2014, background): “…the replacement of sailing ships by steam ships in the international sea transport sector, the change from horse-drawn carriages to cars as the dominant mode of land-bound transport, or the implementation of sewer systems to replace cesspool based evacuation of waste water (Geels, 2005a,b, 2006).”
Transformation of Infrastructures: Sector Characteristics and Implications for Fundamental Change (2011, background): “In the field of infrastructure sectors, examples include the establishment of water supply and sewer systems in the Netherlands (Geels 2005; Geels 2006), a study on the interaction of different infrastructure sectors (Konrad et al.”
Transformations of Large Technical Systems (2007, background): “The MLP has been illustrated with case studies of historical transitions, for example, from sailing ships to steamships (Geels 2002), from manual unloading of ships to pneumatic elevators (Van Driel and Schot 2005), from pumps and wells to piped water systems (Geels 2005b).”
The hygienic transition from cesspools to sewer systems (1840-1930): the dynamics of regime transformation (2006, background): “Furhermore the emergence of piped water systems in the 870s and 1880s absorbed much political attention and ity finances (Geels, 2005b).”
Restructuring energy systems for sustainability? Energy transition policy in the Netherlands (2008, background): “Historic studies of socio-technical change have stressed this (Geels, 2005c, 2006; Verbong and Geels, 2007).”
