Industrial fields and countervailing power: The transformation of distributed solar energy in the United States (2013, positive): “…Framework and Theoretical Contribution Theories of sociotechnical transitions of LTSs have frequently used a “multilevel perspective” that focuses on how new niches can scale up and affect or even replace existing technological regimes, including those associated with LTSs (e.g., Geels, 2005).”
Integrating local and scientific knowledge for environmental management. (2010, background): “…et al., 2006), community-based natural resource management (e.g., Kellert et al., 2000; Blaikie, 2006; Robinson, 2006a,b), transitions management (e.g., Geels, 2002, 2005); sustainability science (e.g., Kates et al., 2001; Clark and Dickson, 2003) and sustainability education (Fazey, in press).”
Green energy clusters and socio-technical transitions: analysis of a sustainable energy cluster for regional economic development in Central Massachusetts, USA (2012, background): “Empirical case studies have detailed transition dynamics in a range of systems, including transport (Elzen and Wieczorek 2005; Geels 2005a, b), energy (Verbong and Geels 2007), water and waste systems (van der Brugge et al. 2005), housing (Brown and Vergragt 2008), and food (Smith 2006b).”
Conceptualizing, Observing, and Influencing Social-Ecological Transitions (2009, background): “A key pattern is the following: “niches” —individual technologies, practices, and actors outside or peripheral to the regime—as the loci for radical innovation (Rotmans et al. 2001, Geels 2005, Smith et al. 2005).”
Navigators through the storm: A review of organization theories and the behavior of incumbent firms during transitions (2017, background): “Incumbent firm behavior in the Multi-Level Perspective The MLP sees a transition as unraveling in a socio-technical system (Geels, 2005a) that consists of networks of actors that interact with artifacts, technologies, and resources under the guidance of semi-coherent sets of regulative, normative,…”
Niche accumulation and hybridisation strategies in transition processes towards a sustainable energy system: An assessment of differences and pitfalls (2007, background): “Also the transition from sailing ships to steam ships shows a process of hybridisation ( Geels, 2005a ).”
The Handbook of Neoliberalism (2016, background): “…that is, a socio-political and institutional arrangement that is ‘locked-in’ to various ways of doing innovation and thus ‘lockedout’ of being able to develop technological innovations for different forms of society, presupposing lower energy use, reduced consumption etc. (Unruh 2000; Geels 2005).”
The structuration of socio-technical regimes—Conceptual foundations from institutional theory (2014, background): “…the replacement of sailing ships by steam ships in the international sea transport sector, the change from horse-drawn carriages to cars as the dominant mode of land-bound transport, or the implementation of sewer systems to replace cesspool based evacuation of waste water (Geels, 2005a,b, 2006).”
