• Harnessing theories of the policy process for analysing the politics of sustainability transitions: A critical survey (2017, background): “While many studies using the PFT analyse single instruments (such as the design, implementation and eventual replacement of the EU voluntary agreement on CO2 emissions for new cars, Jordan and Matt 2014), others have drawn attention to the importance of considering several instruments of whole polic”
• Implementation failures revisited: Policy regime perspectives (2015, background): “Many of these forces have contributed to a negative feedback loop that unless reversed will continue to undermine the reform and may ultimately lead to dismantling key provisions (more generally see Jordan and Matt, 2014; Weaver, 2010).”
• Valuing the Contributions of Nonstate and Subnational Actors to Climate Governance (2017, unknown): “Third, we assume that positive and negative feedbacks are possible and must be monitored over time to ascertain the direct and indirect effects of an intervention (Jordan and Matt 2014; Weaver 2010).”
• Causal logics and mechanisms in policy design: How and why adopting a mechanistic perspective can improve policy design (2019, background): “Negative second-order mechanisms are activated as ‘consequences of policy that tend to undermine rather than reinforce the political, fiscal, or social sustainability of a particular set of policies’ (Weaver, 2010: 137).”
• Historical institutionalism and the politics of sustainable energy transitions: A research agenda (2017, background): “…whether and how quickly elements of transition occur depends on the balance of positive and negative effects, with diversity in this balance leading to a ‘snakes and ladders’ pattern where what appear to be similar policies can diverge according to which feedback effect dominates (Weaver, 2010).”
• The co-evolution of policy mixes and socio-technical systems: Towards a conceptual framework of policy mix feedback in sustainability transitions (2019, background): “Finally, within the feedback literature some authors have focused on single policy instruments (Jordan and Matt, 2014), while others have already drawn attention to the importance of considering several instruments (Weaver, 2010; Oberlander and Weaver, 2015).”
