Multi-regime dynamics in the analysis of sectoral transformation potentials: evidence from German utility sectors (2008, background): “approaches analysing innovation strategies within firms [21,22], the appropriation of technology by users [23] or policy processes [24].”
Historical institutionalism and the politics of sustainable energy transitions: A research agenda (2017, background): “…transitions are profoundly political in nature because of the degree to which policy and wider societal choice are involved (Smith et al 2005, Meadowcroft 2005), it is also clear that the STS approach has lacked a good account of politics (Shove and Walker 2007, Meadowcroft 2009, 2011,…”
Politicizing energy justice and energy system transitions: Fossil fuel divestment and a “just transition” (2017, unknown): “…is a critical component in the transitions approach, it is largely missing from much of existing analysis of socio-technical energy transitions and the energy justice literature (Meadowcroft, 2005; Smith and Stirling, 2007; Meadowcroft, 2009; Baker et al., 2014; Jenkins, McCauley et al., 2016).”
The Politics of Reflexive Governance: Challenges for Designing Adaptive Management and Transition Management (2011, background): “Meadowcroft characterizes TM as “hopelessly unrealistic” as it implies “substantial policy stability and resilient political coalitions to keep reform from being derailed by changes in political personnel and a turbulent conjuncture” (Meadowcroft 2005: 487).”
Keeping sustainable innovation on a leash? Exploring incumbents’ institutional strategies (2015, background): “Incumbent regimes are often stabilized by corporatist networks with mutual dependencies between industry and policy makers’ (Geels, 2010, p. 502, based on Meadowcroft, 2005).”
A Comparison of Energy Transition Governance in Germany, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom (2014, methodology): “Following an early research focus on historical transitions and theoretical work mainly inspired by evolutionary economics and complex systems thinking, transition research has recently expanded into the areas of governance [6–8], power [9], and the politics involved in transition processes [10–12].”
The (non-)politics of managing low carbon socio-technical transitions (2009, background): “Analysis draws upon theoretical resources from across the social sciences, particularly innovation studies, sociology and institutional theory (for example, Geels 2004 ) and, latterly, political science and theories of governance (for example, Meadowcroft 2005 , Smith et al .”
The Political Economy of Energy Transitions: The Case of South Africa (2014, background): “There already exists a large body of academic work on socio-technical transitions which seeks to understand how, when and where transitions to low-carbon socio-technical regimes can come about (Rip and Kemp 1998; Meadowcroft 2005, 2011; Geels and Schot 2007; Scrase and Smith 2009).”
The Contested Politics of Corporate Governance (2010, background): “The process of change is therefore one of steering the system trajectory, of “transition management” (Meadowcroft, 2005) and “mindful deviation” from the original path (Garud & Karnoe, 2001).”
Transitioning policy: co-production of a new strategic framework for energy innovation policy in the Netherlands (2009, background): “However, they were not directly used in the political process to defer difficult political choices as suggested by Meadowcroft (2005).”
Deep transitions: Emergence, acceleration, stabilization and directionality (2018, unknown): “The early version of MLP was criticized for downplaying agency, turning insufficient attention to the contested nature of transitions and a failure to capture the influence of specific social groups such as users in shaping transitions (Meadowcroft, 2005; Smith et al., 2005; Smith and Stirling, 2007”
