TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how technical change is locked into dominant technological regimes, and present a perspective, called strategic niche management, on how to expedite a transition into a new regime.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the example of a transition to a low emission energy supply in the Netherlands to argue that transition management provides a basis for coherence and consistency in public policy and can be the spur to sustainable development.

TL;DR: Transition management as mentioned in this paper is a multilevel model of governance which shapes processes of co-evolution using visions, transition experiments and cycles of learning and adaptation, which helps societies to transform themselves in a gradual, reflexive way through guided processes of variation and selection, the outcomes of which are stepping stones for further change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a series of eight recent experiments with electric vehicles, carsharing schemes, bicycle pools and fleet management to illustrate the means by which technological change must be closely linked to social change if successful implementation is to take place.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the governance implications of reflexive modernisation, the condition that societal development is endangered by its own side-effects, and propose a new mode of collective action.
