Energy democracy: Goals and policy instruments for sociotechnical transitions (2017, background): “Recent scholarship on sociotechnical systems change acknowledges that the urgency for transitions to sustainability requires policy mixes that combine instruments that can destabilize existing regimes while creating space for innovative alternatives, described as processes of creative destruction or”
Creative Destruction or Mere Niche Creation? Innovation Policy Mixes for Sustainability Transitions (2016, unknown): “Particularly, radical policy reforms, where policies substantially change economic frame conditions, may accelerate destabilisation (Turnheim and Geels, 2012, p. 44).”
Historical institutionalism and the politics of sustainable energy transitions: A research agenda (2017, background): “3 See for example Turnheim and Geels (2012) on coal in the UK, Geels (2002) on steam ships, Verbong and Geels (2007) on the Dutch electricity system, Raven and Verbong (2007) on combined heat and power in Holland, and the case studies in Research Policy 39, 4 4 The UK provides a good example where…”
Integrating techno-economic, socio-technical and political perspectives on national energy transitions: A meta-theoretical framework (2018, background): “Another strand of research within the socio-technical perspective is what Turnheim et al. [7] and Geels et al. [3] call 'socio-technical transition analysis', and which 'adopts a broad sociological frame, combined with a practical interest in historical methodologies' ([7], p. 243).”
Three frames for innovation policy: R&D, systems of innovation and transformative change (2018, background): “The policy mix should also contribute to a process of destabilisation of existing locked-in sociotechnical systems (Turnheim and Geels, 2012; Kivimaa and Kern, 2016; Rogge and Reichardt, 2016; Kern et al., 2017).”
Exploring the role of phase-out policies for low-carbon energy transitions: the case of the German Energiewende (2017, unknown): “Yet, despite the relevance of phase out policies in sustainability transitions, so-called ‘ ﬂ ip sides ’ to innovation [14], including destabilization and discontinuation, remain under-studied.”
Policy mixes for incumbency: Exploring the destructive recreation of renewable energy, shale gas ‘fracking,’ and nuclear power in the United Kingdom (2017, unknown): “If regime resistance is itself to be countered by deliberate efforts at ‘regime destabilisation’ (Scrase & Smith 2009; Turnheim & Geels 2012; Turnheim & Geels 2013; Bosman et al. 2014; Karltorp & Sandén 2012) then the scope of what constitutes the politics of transitions becomes significantly wider…”
The technological innovation systems framework: Response to six criticisms (2015, background): “…which could also be used to derive policies to hinder the development of the focal technology. technologies (Sandén and Hillman, 2011), reactions of incumbents (Smink et al., 2015), political strategies (Wesseling et al., 2014) and decline of socio-technical systems (Turnheim and Geels, 2012).”
