Abstract

In this chapter we present the transitions approach as an integrated perspective to understand and possibly orient our society towards sustainable development. Since the concept of sustainability is inherently normative, subjective and ambiguous, we argue that (unlike some more traditional approaches to sustainable development) we should focus on an open facilitation and stimulation of social processes towards sustainability. The transitions approach and transition management specifically, seek to deal with ongoing changes in society in an evolutionary manner so as to influence these ongoing changes in terms of speed and direction: towards sustainability. A transitions approach to explore sustainability transitions poses novel challenges for research: there are no unequivocal answers, nor it is clear how these processes should be governed. We conclude our analysis by formulating the basic research questions central to the search for governance for sustainability, and by reflecting on the role of science in sustainability transitions.

Fußnoten
1
We perceive governance as a meta-level pattern of societal interactions (intended and unintended) or as Kooiman (1993, p. 2) notes, governance to be interactive as “the pattern that emerges from the governing activities of social, political and administrative actors” that “focuses on the interactions taking place between governing actors within social-political situations.” (Kooiman 2003, p. 7).

Transition governance guidelines are process-oriented propositions that relate to the process design towards fundamental change or transformation. Transition governance guidelines are not concerned with the definition of targets, or goals but with the design or the framing of the actions that will take place over the course of a system transition.
