Sustainability transitions in developing countries: Major insights and their implications for research and policy (2017, background): “These experiments are found to emerge in the context of the growth of new socio-technical regimes in key sectors of especially latecomer countries (Berkhout et al., 2010).”
Transformative policy mixes in socio-technical scenarios: The case of the low-carbon transition of the German electricity system (2010–2050) (2020, background): “Regarding the latter, societal experimentation can act as promising transformative policy instrument particularly in early phases of transitions (Berkhout et al., 2010; Kivimaa et al., 2017; van den Bosch, 2010).”
Integration: the key to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (2016, background): “However, these may be inappropriate and in some cases delay the creation of an equitable local economy, or suppress opportunities for lower income countries to leapfrog western development pathways that have been found wanting (e.g., Berkhout et al. 2010).”
Beyond technology and finance: pay-as-you-go sustainable energy access and theories of social change (2015, background): “Experiments can be perceived as being part of the process of nurturing (Smith et al., 2013), defined as ‘… initiatives that embody a highly novel socio-technical configuration likely to lead to substantial sustainability gains’ (Berkhout et al., 2010: 262).”
Upscaling of business model experiments in off-grid PV solar energy in India (2012, unknown): “…that the prospects of alternative development pathways in emerging economies in Asia are also becoming more likely, and that these economies might even leapfrog Western initiatives (Berkhout et al. 2009, 2010; Hultman et al. 2011; Kaplinsky 2011; Romijn and Canie¨ls 2011; Binz and Truffer 2009).”
Transnational linkages in sustainability experiments:A typology and the case of solar photovoltaic energy in India (2015, methodology): “The recent ‘spatial turn’ in the sustainability transitions literature is attracting increasing attention from both geographers and transition scholars (Shove and Walker, 2007; Truffer, 2008; Berkhout et al., 2010; Raven et al., 2012; Coenen et al., 2012; Rutherford and Coutard, 2014).”
The political economy of energy transitions in Mozambique and South Africa: The role of the Rising Powers (2016, background): “…and institutions are subject to elite capture and lack resources or where markets and infrastructural systems are under-developed, as in Mozambique (Berkhout et al, 2010; Bridge et al, 2013; Hansen and Coenen, 2014; Lawhon and Murphy, 2012; Murphy, 2001; Raven, Schot and Berkhout, 2012; Rock et…”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “There is an extensive literature on transitions and transformations covering a variety of sectors and factors that influence changes in systems and behaviors (Geels, 2002; Calvin et al., 2009; Berkhout et al., 2010; Pelling 2010; Shove and Walker, 2010; WGIII AR5 Chapter 6).”
Experimenting towards a low-carbon city: Policy evolution and nested structure of innovation (2018, background): “Regimes are the meso-level concept, and usually, are characterized by a stable set of institutions that govern the behavior of actors; by contrast, in niches, rules are more fluid and emergent (Berkhout et al., 2010).”
Technology transfer in the clean development mechanism: Insights from wind power (2013, unknown): “010 technology is ‘transferred’ internationally (Ockwell et al., 2008; Berkhout et al., 2010; Lema and Lema, 2012).”
