Towards multi-scalar transition management? Insights from four transition arenas in Norway’s port sector
Transition management has been applied at organisational, local, regional, and national scales. However, transition management methodology only treats scale in passing. Drawing upon experiences from four transition arenas in Norway’s port sector – three local, one national – the article describes how arena outputs differed between local and national arenas. Outputs from the national arena were significantly less specific than in the local arenas.…
Diverging pathways to port sustainability: How social processes shape and direct transition work
To counter climate change, societies are under pressure to transform energy and transport sectors. Considering the crucial node position of ports in the intersection between energy and transport systems and their connecting of numerous sectors, markets, and values chains, they have hitherto received surprisingly little attention as potential sites for whole system thinking and deep transition. Their heterogeneity suggests that ports are likely to…
Transforming socio-technical configurations through creative destruction: Local policy, electric vehicle diffusion, and city governance in Norway
Transforming mobility systems in sustainable directions will likely rely on several niche-innovations outperforming incumbent regimes that support non-sustainable ways of upholding personal mobility. One prominent driver in these developments is policy, which through creative destruction could serve to destabilise regimes surrounding internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) while also promoting regimes surrounding battery-electric vehicles (EV…
Towards sustainability in the port sector: The role of intermediation in transition work
Relies on survey data to explore intermediation and transition work in Norwegian ports. • Transition work contains both processual and outcome dimensions. • Intermediation emerges through relations with surroundings and port owners. • Intermediation is associated with more progressive transition work. • Quantitative approaches allow testing the empirical applicability of theoretical constructs. Intermediation has received substantial attention fr…

Actors in energy transitions: Transformative potentials at the intersection between Norwegian port and transport systems
Although actors are of central importance in the progress of energy transitions, their roles and contributions have received limited attention by transition scholars. This article aims to fill this gap by taking a ́role-centrić approach to actors and by expanding existing user role typologies to include the variety of actors involved in such transitions. This allows for a more comprehensive grasp of the potential role of actors in accelerating en…
Incentives for promoting Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) adoption in Norway
Norway has become a global forerunner in the field of electromobility and the BEV market share is far higher than in any other country. One likely reason for this is strong incentives for promoting purchase and ownership of BEVs. The purpose of this study is to describe the role of incentives for promoting BEVs, and to determine what incentives are critical for deciding to buy a BEV and what groups of buyers respond to different types of incentiv…
Transportation to employment
For decades, the employment of Norwegians with disabilities has been lower than for the rest of the population. One possible explanation is inaccessible transportation. To people with disabilities, transportation might pose a significant barrier to employment. Through interviews with people with disabilities who are currently or have been previously employed, this study identifies barriers to transportation experienced by people with disabilities…
