Exploring sustainability transitions in the electricity sector with socio-technical pathways (2010, background): “vested interests, ‘organizational capital’, sunk investments, stable beliefs [18].”
A multi-level analysis of sustainable mobility transitions: Niche development in the UK and Sweden (2008, background): “Niche development is central in understanding many types of socio-technological transition [13].”
Infrastructure transformation as a socio-technical process — Implications for the governance of energy distribution networks in the UK (2015, unknown): “Within the literature, the predominant approach to framing and understanding the transformation of such large scale and institutionally embedded systems has been to adopt a multi-level perspective (MLP), where system innovations occur due to interactions between the landscape (macro), regime (meso) ”
Business Models for Sustainable Innovation: State of the Art and Steps Towards a Research Agenda (2013, background): “System innovation is seen as a crucial strategy to implementing sustainability into wider sociotechnical systems (e.g. Charter et al. 2008; Geels, 2005; Johnson and Suskewicz, 2009).”
Co-evolution of technology and society: The transition in water supply and personal hygiene in the Netherlands (1850-1930)—a case study in multi-level perspective (2005, background): “the transition from sailing ships to steamships [22], the transition from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles and from propeller-aircraft to turbojets [23].”
Assessing the Dutch Energy Transition Policy: How Does it Deal with Dilemmas of Managing Transitions? (2007, background): “…on notions from Integrated Assessment and insights from innovation theory, especially the work on technological transitions (Freeman & Perez, 1988; Geels, 2002; 2005), the work on path-dependence (Arthur, 1989; David, 1985) and on sustainable development and participatory policy approaches…”
Complexity and Transition Management (2009, background): “This differs somewhat from the common deﬁnition of a niche as individual technologies, practices, and actors outside or peripheral to the regime, as loci for radical innovation (Geels 2005).”
Branching points for transition pathways : assessing responses of actors to challenges on pathways to a low carbon future (2013, methodology): “This set of transition pathways ha been developed by applying a multi-level perspective for analysing transitions in socio-technical system (Geels, 2002, 2005a, 2011; Grin et al., 2010), augmented by related work on a coevolutionary framework for analysing low-carbon transitions (Foxon, 2011).”
Transition towards Circular Economy in the Food System (2016, background): “These local niches can serve as protective spaces for new solutions to evolve: for the developers to find sensible and user-friendly ways of providing services, for users to learn to use them and adapt them to their everyday life, and for regulators to learn how to govern them [14,15].”
The dynamics of sustainable innovation journeys (2008, background): “This special issue elaborates on a fourth position, socio-technical transitions, which addresses changes at a more concrete sectoral or systems level (Rochracher 2001; Jacobsson and Bergek 2004; Smith, Stirling, and Berkhout 2005; Geels 2005; Hekkert et al. 2007).”
Disruption and low-carbon system transformation: Progress and new challenges in socio-technical transitions research and the Multi-Level Perspective (2017, background): “While nicheinnovations are important, this singular focus falls short of foundational interests in system innovation [1,2].”
Green technologies and Smart Specialisation Strategies: a European patent-based analysis of the intertwining of technological relatedness and key enabling technologies (2018, background): “Within this framework, the so-called Multilevel Perspective (MLP) of eco-innovation (Geels, 2005; Smith, 2003) has recently recognised that the “niches” from which sustainable “socio-technical regimes” evolve often have, at least initially, a local-scale dimension (Coenen et al.”
Transition heuristic frameworks in research on agro-food sustainability transitions (2020, background): “There is a broad range of theoretical and conceptual frameworks that have been used to conceptualise, understand and promote transition towards sustainability (Falcone 2014; Geels 2005a; Grin et al. 2010; Lachman 2013; Markard et al. 2012; Sovacool and Hess 2017; STRN 2017).”
Sustainable innovation, business models and economic performance: an overview (2013, background): “…of socio-technical systems towards sustainability, sustainability transitions and system innovations is a rapidly growing field having both an analytical and an action-oriented branch (e.g. Rotmans et al., 2001; Grin et al., 2010; Geels, 2005; Foxon and Pearson, 2008; Van den Bergh et al., 2011).”
New energy spaces: Towards a geographical political economy of energy transition (2020, background): “…the past decade, a growing body of research has sought to enrich socio-technical analyses of energy system transformation (such as those informed by Geels’ (2005) multi-level perspective (MLP)) by paying more attention to its socially contested and power-laden character (Baker et al., 2014; Geels,…”
A low carbon industrial revolution? Insights and challenges from past technological and economic transformations (2012, background): “…also been informed by the literature on socio-technical transitions that has analysed transitions in systems of provision for end-user services (Geels, 2002, 2005; Grin et al., 2010), though, as argued elsewhere (Foxon, 2011), this literature has largely neglected the economic aspects which…”
