Examining the dynamics of social cohesion
Social cohesion is an important impact category for scaling real-world laboratory experiments. This idea has been largely overlooked in the transformative research debate. Based on observations within real-world laboratories that focused on iterative, co-creative, and practice-based climate change adaptation, we identify social cohesion, first, as a prerequisite for real-world laboratory impacts. Second, social cohesion can itself be an impact, e…
Combining the multi-level perspective framework with participatory scenario development to explore the many facets of food system transitions in Germany
Transitions to more sustainable food systems are urgently needed, but they are also very complex and hard to achieve. The integration of transdisciplinary approaches into transition research can help to understand and promote sustainable food system transitions, but remains an agenda item in this research field. To fill this gap, this article describes how the multi-level perspective (MLP) can be used as a framework for explorative, participatory…
Diverging Stories on food system transitions. A qualitative analysis of policy narratives in the public consultation on the European Commission’s Farm to Fork Strategy
The transition towards more just and sustainable food systems is a major challenge which requires persuasive policy narratives for motivation and coordination. However, research about how relevant European actor groups view crucial elements of food system transitions is scarce. The consultation on the European Commission's Farm-to-Fork Strategy provided an opportunity to analyze how elements of food system transitions are represented and connecte…
Classifying Social Adaptation Practices to Heat Stress—Learning from Autonomous Adaptations in Two Small Towns in Germany
Climate change adaptation planning and implementation have proliferated over the past years. However, we still lack an understanding of how society adapts itself outside of policy sectors and as part of what some refer to as “autonomous adaptation.” The way people respond to risk without deliberate interventions of public actors is not well understood. Given the increasing occurrence of climatic changes that affect our daily lives, the topic is r…

Transforming or tinkering at the margins? Assessing policy strategies for heating decarbonisation in Germany and the United Kingdom
Governance for the sustainable economy
To achieve sustainable development, it is evident that new approaches to governance are required to govern the transformation of the economy and enable the replacement of unsustainable technologies and practices. Very much like new technologies and social innovation, institutional innovation emerges from the bottom up by non-state actors aiming to facilitate the governance of transformation. What is the potential of such institutional innovation?…

The Policy and Politics of Policy Appraisal
Over the last 20 years, policy appraisal has emerged as a popular topic for discussion amongst policy-makers and academics alike. Much research effort has been devoted to developing tools and techniques to inform appraisal activities, but there has been, until recently, a distinct paucity of research on what might be termed the 'policy and politics' of policy appraisal. This is surprising, since policy appraisal is undoubtedly an important site o…

Lead Markets for Environmental Innovations
The article discusses the role of the nation state in stimulating lead markets for green innovations. It is often feared that the nation state loses its capacity for action because of economic and political globalization. This article rejects this hypothesis. It argues that empirical research on actual environmental policies reveals that it is most often nation states that pioneer new approaches, push for advances in environmental policy, and ser…
Institutions and Instruments for Government Self-Regulation
For the integration of environmental concerns into sectoral policies, two approaches can be distinguished: horizontal integration delegates the responsibility mainly to the environmental departments. Vertical integration makes the departments responsible for themselves and can be labeled as "governmental self-regulation". Various instruments have been developed to make integration operational. This article provides a framework for assessing the c…
