Resilience and robustness in policy design: a critical appraisal (2017, background): “Due to the government’s role in directing and guiding policy change and transition in response to shocks (Rotmans et al. 2001), capacities for policy resilience are particularly relevant for public agencies that operate at the forefront of change and transition management.”
Transitioning policy: co-production of a new strategic framework for energy innovation policy in the Netherlands (2009, background): “…1980, 1991; Jasanoff 1990, 2004; Hoppe 1999, 2002, 2005; Pielke 2004; Eriksson and Sundelius 2005) and the literature on transition management (Rotmans et al. 2000, 2001; Kemp and Loorbach 2006; Kemp et al. 2007; Loorbach 2007; Shove and Walker 2007; Rotmans and Kemp 2008; Smith and Kern…”
Negative emissions—Part 3: Innovation and upscaling (2018, background): “The emergence of a new technology to replace others, a technological transition, involves institutions, financing mechanisms and niche formation (Rotmans et al 2001, Geels 2002, Jacobsson and Jacobsson 2014).”
A socio-technical perspective on low carbon investment challenges – Insights for UK energy policy (2015, background): “Viewed through the lens of path dependency and lock-in, the evolution of regimes can be characterised by a number of distinct phases (Rotmans et al., 2001; Loorbach, 2007): a predevelopment phase characterised by gradual change and experimentation, with many competing technologies, a take-off phase…”
Transition management as a model for managing processes of co-evolution towards sustainable development (2007, background): “…transition coalitions and networks (agenda building, transition paths), operational-level experiments and projects and finally the monitoring and evaluation of progress (both in terms of process as well as content), leading to adaptation (see Rotmans et al. 2001; Loorbach and Rotmans 2006).”
Evolutionary approaches for sustainable innovation policies: From niche to paradigm? (2009, background): “Transition management is a model for fostering sustainability transitions to deal with persistent problems that require system innovation (Kemp and Loorbach, 2005; Loorbach and Kemp, 2007; Loorbach, 2007; Rotmans et al., 2001).”
The structuration of socio-technical regimes—Conceptual foundations from institutional theory (2014, background): “…paper mainly includes the following four research strands: strategic niche management (Kemp et al., 1998), transition management (Loorbach, 2007; Rotmans et al., 2001), multi-level perspective (Geels, 2002, 2004), and technological innovation systems (Bergek et al., 2008; Hekkert et al., 2007).”
Tools for Integrated Sustainability Assessment: A two-track approach (2006, background): “This has resulted in a diverse field of approaches: concepts for sustainable developments (Munasinghe, 1993), indicators for sustainable development (Grosskurth & Rotmans, 2005), models for sustainable development (Van den Bergh, 1991) and scenarios for sustainable development (Rotmans et al., 2001)”
Complexity and Transition Management (2009, background): “Fos-tering sustainability transitions is what we call transition management (Rotmans et al. 2001).”
The Multi-Level Perspective in Research on Sustainability Transitions in Agriculture and Food Systems: A Systematic Review (2019, background): “Socio-technical transitions refer to an umbrella term that includes a family of approaches, such as the multi-level perspective [27,28], multi-phase model [29], strategic niche management [30–32] and transition management [33–35].”
Transportation and the environment. (2011, background): “Transition management has been implemented in energy and transport policies in the Netherlands with varying levels of success (96, 133, 134).”
Advancing adaptive governance of social-ecological systems through theoretical multiplicity (2016, background): “The authors combine insights from transitions (Rotmans et al., 2001) and adaptive governance to understand water reform processes.”
Restructuring energy systems for sustainability? Energy transition policy in the Netherlands (2008, methodology): “Energy Policy (2008), doi:10.1016/j.enpol.2008.06.018 policy prescriptions in the form of ‘TM’ (Rotmans et al., 2001b; Kemp and Rotmans, 2004; Loorbach and Rotmans, 2006).”
Sustainable Consumption: A Theoretical and Environmental Policy Perspective (2003, methodology): “…the language used in this respect, we think environmental sociologists can profit very much from the works on the innovation and diffusion of technology as conducted by Pinch and Bijker (1987), Schot (1992; 1998), Kemp (1994), Rotmans et al. (2001), Shove and Southerton (1998), and many others.”
Compulsive policy-making—The evolution of the German feed-in tariff system for solar photovoltaic power (2014, background): “A notable exception are studies in the field of transition management (TM) which provide a much richer description of the policy process and explicitly consider policy dynamics and learning (Grin, 2006; Rotmans et al., 2001; Rotmans and Loorbach, 2009; Voß et al., 2009).”
