Beyond the imagination gap
The literature on transformation suggests an imagination gap, or failure to deploy imagination optimally in conceptualising and mobilising sustainability. Applying a multi-case study, we engaged with four research projects that work across different sustainability transformation domains to understand the imaginative capabilities employed in project design and implementation, as well as the role of imagination in transformative change research. We…
Deconstructing knowledge and reconstructing understanding
Transdisciplinary approaches for planning and managing sustainability transitions present an opportunity for embedding knowledge making as an integral design element. Collaboratively formulated energy transitions as one such transdisciplinary undertaking, can benefit from the plural integration of knowledge forms to maximize uptake and diffusion of material outcomes, and the principles and values underlying collaborative action. Moreover, reflexi…
Narrative futures and the governance of energy transitions
The Social Dimensions of Energy Transitions
The future of energy systems is one of the central policy challenges facing industrial countries. This challenge is complex and multifaceted. Energy systems are among the largest human enterprises
Democratization, International Knowledge Institutions, and Global Governance
The central problem of democracy has long been theorized as how to place appropriate constraints on the responsible exercise of power. Today, this problem is most acute in global governance. This article examines the rapid rise in the creation of international knowledge institutions, arguing that these institutions reflect a growing effort by nations and publics to assert democratic constraints on the on the global exercise of power through their…

An Effective Instrument Of Peace
The profound transformation of postwar world affairs wrought by science encompassed both competition—driven by the atomic bomb and the growing centrality of science and technology to military as well as economic security during the cold war—and cooperation, driven by the desire to use science, in the words of the 1951 Berkner report, as “an effective instrument of peace.” Of the two, the former has garnered greater attention among scholars and am…
New Civic Epistemologies of Quantification
Processes of globalization and decentralization are changing the relationship among statistical knowledge production, nation, and state. This article explores these changes through a comparison of five projects to design and implement indicators of sustainable development to replace conventional measures of economic welfare and social demographics-community sustainability indicators, Metropatterns, greening the gross domestic product, the Living …
Interrogating the Civic Epistemology of American Democracy
Transitions of power are fragile, anxious moments for political systems. This paper explores how electoral machinery - the material and social technologies of casting, counting, and contesting votes - dynamically stabilizes democratic transitions. The paper analyzes the controversy surrounding the 2000 US Presidential election. For 36 days political stability in the USA hung on uncertainty over a seemingly simple matter of fact: which candidate w…
Changing the Atmosphere
In recent years, Earth systems science has advanced rapidly, helping to transform climate change and other planetary risks into major political issues. Changing the Atmosphere strengthens our understanding of this important link between expert knowledge and environmental governance. In so doing, it illustrates how the emerging field of science and technology studies can inform our understanding of the human dimensions of global environmental chan…
Making Democracy Count
18. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, quoted in Danner, op. cit. note 11, 48. 19. The ascription of incompetence to 'naive' and minority voters (presumed to be aligned with the Democrats) was confounded when a number of news organizations began to report results of their reviews of disputed ballots in Florida. In early April 2001, the national newspaper USA Today summarized the reviews of 61,195 'undervotes' by a national accounting firm BDO Seidman, …
