Evolutionary approaches for sustainable innovation policies: From niche to paradigm? (2009, background): “Transition management is a multilevel model of governance for shaping processes of co-evolution using visions, transition experiments and cycles of learning and adaptation (Kemp et al., 2007b).”
Public–private innovation: barriers in the case of mobility as a service in West Sweden (2019, methodology): “Inspired by performance-oriented regulatory regimes (cf. Wagner and Fain 2017) and by technology neutral regulation (cf. Koops 2016), we argue that public actors in general could benefit frommissions that focus more on the objectives, and less on their actions.”
Assessing the Dutch Energy Transition Policy: How Does it Deal with Dilemmas of Managing Transitions? (2007, methodology): “The model of transition management has been developed by the authors, in interaction with policy makers, and is described in Rotmans et al. (2000; 2001) and elaborated in Kemp & Rotmans (2004; 2005), Kemp et al. (2007) and Loorbach (2007).”
Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability (2020, background): “In this sense, ensuring consistent incentives across multiple levels of governance (e.g. local including traditional, provincial, federal, regional) is also key (Kemp et al., 2007).”
The Politics of Reflexive Governance: Challenges for Designing Adaptive Management and Transition Management (2011, background): “Certainly the transition arena is meant to span various levels and sectors of governance (Kemp et al. 2007a), and institutional changes are referred to as potential impact factors for substantial transition pathways (Kemp and Loorbach 2006).”
Complexity and Transition Management (2009, background): “In the complex systems context, however, coevolution is used to indicate the interaction between different systems that influences the dynamics of the individual systems, leading to irreversible patterns of change within each of the systems (Kemp et al. 2007).”
Transition policy and innovation policy: Friends or foes? (2011, background): “The MLP emphasizes how the alignment of trajectories within levels, as well as between levels, produces transitions.”
Functions of innovation systems as a framework to understand sustainable technological change: empirical evidence for earlier claims (2009, background): “, transition management at the level of societies and strategic niche management and socio-technical experiments at the level of specific innovation processes [5–9].”
Policy mixes for sustainability transitions: An extended concept and framework for analysis (2016, background): “Regarding policy making, we stress two aspects: First, due to the dynamic, multifaceted and uncertain nature of technological change and sustainability transitions, policy adaptation and thus policy learning is a crucial feature of policy making processes (Allen et al., 2011; Bennett and Howlett, 19”
A topological approach to Mobility as a Service: A proposed tool for understanding requirements and effects, and for aiding the integration of societal goals (2018, background): “The latter outlines four activities that are key to the governance of sustainable transitions: strategic, tactical, operational, and reflexive activities (Kemp, Loorbach, & Rotmans, 2007; Loorbach, 2007, 2010).”
Circular Economy Policies in China and Europe (2017, background): “In its focus on creating arenas for transition experiments, focused on leading firms and institutions, the Chinese approach bears some resemblance to the prescriptions of ‘transition management’ (Kemp et al. 2007) and attempts at green innovation-led development in transition ‘regions’ (Cooke 2011).”
Transitioning policy: co-production of a new strategic framework for energy innovation policy in the Netherlands (2009, background): “It contributes to the literature on science–policy interactions (Weiss 1980, 1991; Jasanoff 1990, 2004; Hoppe 1999, 2002, 2005; Pielke 2004; Eriksson and Sundelius 2005) and the literature on transition management (Rotmans et al. 2000, 2001; Kemp and Loorbach 2006; Kemp et al. 2007; Loorbach 2007; S”
Tools for Integrated Sustainability Assessment: A two-track approach (2006, background): “Forget about command-and-control management of these systems, only a co-evolutionary management approach, which subtly takes emergence, co-evolution and self-organisation as starting-point, might work (Kemp et al., 2006).”
