In the last four years, since Austria enabled the establishment of energy communities (ECs), their numbers have rapidly increased, and their role in Austria's energy transition has been widely discussed. This study explores how storylines of ECs, as social innovations, have changed during their introduction and diffusion. We adopt a dialectic perspective of niche diffusion and discursive struggles in sustainability transitions. Analyzing newspaper articles and interviews, we reveal initial discursive struggles and the diversification into seven storylines across four contextual phases, shaped particularly by legislative frameworks and the energy crisis. Five storylines construct ECs as positive change, one as a negative force on society, and one as ambivalent. We discuss significant changes in how storylines construct ECs, focusing on justice and citizenship, the reconstruction of actor configurations, and emerging postapocalyptic storylines. This study enriches our understanding of discursive struggles around social innovations and their potential to challenge existing configurations.

自奥地利允许建立能源社区(ECs)以来,在过去的四年中,ECs 的数量迅速增加,其在奥地利能源转型中的作用也被广泛讨论。本研究探讨了能源社区作为一种社会创新,其故事情节在引入和传播过程中发生了怎样的变化。我们采用一种辩证的视角来看待可持续性转型中的利基传播和话语斗争。通过分析报刊文章和访谈,我们揭示了最初的话语斗争以及在四个阶段中七个故事情节的多样化,特别是在立法框架和能源危机的影响下。其中五个故事情节将可持续能源视为积极的变革,一个故事情节将可持续能源视为社会的消极力量,还有一个故事情节将可持续能源视为矛盾的力量。我们讨论了故事情节在如何构建欧共体方面的重大变化,重点关注正义与公民身份、行动者配置的重建以及新出现的末世后故事情节。这项研究丰富了我们对围绕社会创新的话语斗争及其挑战现有配置的潜力的理解。

Public sector organisations (PSOs) such as municipalities, regulatory bodies, and public utilities are key actors in sustainability transitions. However, the conceptualisation of their transformative capacity is underdeveloped, as several strands of literature pay attention to the topic but remain disjointed. The article takes stock of the literature, reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of the main approaches. Building from there, the article proposes a higher-order holistic conceptual framework based on three constitutive elements: roles, resources, and abilities. We conceptualise the transformative capacity of a public sector organisation as the interaction between its roles, resources, and abilities in the enactment of its transformative agency. This framework offers a granular analytical approach for future empirical studies, acknowledging the diversity of PSOs and sustainability transitions pathways. It also offers practical clues for more targeted efforts to build transformative capacity in PSOs, which is crucial for accelerating transitions.

公共部门组织(PSO),如市政当局、监管机构和公用事业,是可持续性转型的关键参与者。然而,关于其转型能力的概念还不够完善,因为有几篇文献关注这一主题,但仍然互不关联。本文对这些文献进行了总结,回顾了主要方法的优缺点。在此基础上,文章提出了一个基于三个构成要素(角色、资源和能力)的高阶整体概念框架。我们将公共部门组织的变革能力概念化为其角色、资源和能力在实施变革机构过程中的相互作用。这一框架为未来的实证研究提供了一种精细的分析方法,承认了公共部门组织和可持续性转型途径的多样性。它还为更有针对性地培养公共服务组织的转型能力提供了实用线索,这对加快转型至关重要。

Domestic heating systems need to change to meet climate targets. We draw on practice theoretical concepts to understand what is needed to integrate heat pumps in Dutch households. From a design orientation, we view households as creative actors integrating technologies into daily life. We report on an ethnographic study of the disruptions and resulting reconfigurations that occur when heat pumps are introduced in Dutch households. Our findings reveal a variety of practice reconfigurations around heat pumps. We also find that these reconfigurations are related to and may influence other practices, including professional practices. We discuss our findings in relation to policy, technology development, and design, and conclude that the required reconfigurations in Dutch household practices could be supported, and that innovative practice reconfigurations emerging from internal household dynamics could contribute to sustainability transitions.

要实现气候目标,就必须改变家庭供暖系统。我们借鉴了实践理论概念,以了解将热泵融入荷兰家庭所需的条件。从设计的角度出发,我们将家庭视为将技术融入日常生活的创造性参与者。我们报告了一项人种学研究,研究了荷兰家庭在引入热泵时发生的干扰和由此产生的重新配置。我们的研究结果揭示了围绕热泵的各种实践重组。我们还发现,这些重新配置与其他实践相关,并可能影响其他实践,包括专业实践。我们讨论了与政策、技术开发和设计相关的研究结果,并得出结论:荷兰家庭实践中所需的重新配置可以得到支持,家庭内部动态产生的创新实践重新配置可以促进可持续发展转型。

Economic alterity and the green spirit of capitalism – on the pitfalls of green entrepreneurship 经济变革与资本主义的绿色精神--论绿色创业的陷阱

This article contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of capitalism in sustainability transitions by exploring the potential of green entrepreneurs to cultivate alternative economic forms. To this end, we will introduce the classic sociological concept of the spirit of capitalism to sustainability transition research and bring it into dialogue with the concept of economic alterity. Based on qualitative case studies of nine green entrepreneurs, we examine how sustainability motives and capitalist meaning structures are blended in the mindsets of the ecopreneurs. Overall, the economic mentalities of the green ecopreneurs we examined can be characterised as a “green spirit of capitalism”, in the sense of a positive interconnection between capitalist principles and environmental goals. While the ecopreneurs repeatedly broke with capitalist principles in specific situations – for example by sacrificing growth potential or competitive advantages in favour of positive environmental impact – in none of the case studies was the capitalist economic mentality surmounted in any substantial way. This is due to specific stabilisation mechanisms belonging to the capitalist spirit that consolidate the respondents’ economic mentalities in cases of conflict between environmental and economic goals.

本文通过探讨绿色企业家培育替代经济形式的潜力,有助于深入理解资本主义在可持续性转型中的作用。为此,我们将在可持续转型研究中引入资本主义精神这一经典的社会学概念,并将其与经济变异性概念进行对话。基于对九位绿色企业家的定性案例研究,我们将考察可持续发展动机和资本主义意义结构是如何在生态企业家的思维中融合的。总体而言,我们所研究的绿色生态企业家的经济心态可以被描述为 "资本主义的绿色精神",即资本主义原则与环境目标之间的积极联系。虽然生态企业家们在特定情况下一再打破资本主义原则,例如牺牲增长潜力或竞争优势,转而支持积极的环境影响,但在所有案例研究中,资本主义经济思维都没有得到实质性的突破。这是由于资本主义精神的特定稳定机制在环境目标与经济目标发生冲突时巩固了受访者的经济心态。

In the transition to a renewable energy system, the European Union champions community-based initiatives like energy communities to promote decarbonization as well as broader societal benefits. Despite these goals, there is a marked underrepresentation of women in energy communities. In 15 qualitative interviews with experts in community-led energy organizations mainly from Germany, our study addresses women specific barriers for participation. The modal organizational setup poses barriers in terms of existing male overrepresentation, technical knowledge as entry requirement, a focus on financial investment, heavy and inflexible time requirements, and the lack of social integration of energy communities. Organizational realities align little with women`s motivators for participation, which encompass environmental enthusiasm and social engagement. The nature of the discovered barriers is compatible with the concept of "doing gender", where malleable, socially constructed organizational arrangements perpetuate traditional gender roles and thereby hierarchies.

在向可再生能源系统过渡的过程中,欧盟倡导能源社区等以社区为基础的倡议,以促进去碳化和更广泛的社会效益。尽管有这些目标,但妇女在能源社区中的代表性明显不足。我们的研究通过对主要来自德国的社区能源组织专家进行 15 次定性访谈,探讨了妇女参与的具体障碍。现有的男性比例过高、技术知识是入门要求、注重资金投入、繁重而缺乏灵活性的时间要求,以及能源社区缺乏社会融合等方面的组织模式设置构成了障碍。组织现实与妇女的参与动机几乎不一致,后者包括对环境的热情和社会参与。已发现的障碍的性质与 "性别问题 "的概念相吻合,在这种情况下,可塑的、社会构建的组织安排使传统的性别角色和等级制度永久化。

This policy brief encourages urban policymakers to embrace a stronger circular economy (CE) ambition by applying discontinuation policies. While discontinuation already plays a major role in sectors such as energy, cities have so far mainly focussed on supporting innovations in the CE transition. Using circular construction as an example, this policy brief demonstrates how to apply informational, economic, contractual, regulatory, and ownership-based policy instruments for discontinuation to improve the resource efficiency of urban built environments. Finally, we provide specific policy recommendations for developing an urban discontinuation strategy for circular construction.

本政策简报鼓励城市决策者通过实施停产政策来实现更强的循环经济(CE)目标。虽然停产在能源等行业已经发挥了重要作用,但城市迄今为止主要侧重于支持循环经济转型中的创新。本政策简报以循环型建筑为例,展示了如何运用信息、经济、合同、监管和所有权等政策工具来终止生产,从而提高城市建筑环境的资源效率。最后,我们为制定循环建筑的城市终止战略提供了具体的政策建议。

Mission-oriented innovation policies (MOIP) do not operate in a vacuum. How missions align with innovation actors, infrastructures and discourses in regional contexts is an ongoing discussion. In this paper, we draw on the case of regional dialogues that aspired to facilitate exchange and learning for the missions of Germany's High-Tech Strategy (HTS). We examine the interactional process of 'regioning' MOIP that draws in diverse publics and concerns, ultimately aiming to create institutional arenas where actors from different levels and scales come together to make sense of missions. More than being explicit objects of innovation policy, regions understood through regioning are an implicit practice of policy. By moving missions between federal and regional arenas, involved actors shape a political space for articulating the directionality of innovation policy.

以使命为导向的创新政策(MOIP)并非在真空中运作。任务如何与区域背景下的创新参与者、基础设施和论述相协调是一个持续的讨论。在本文中,我们借鉴了旨在促进德国高科技战略(HTS)任务交流与学习的区域对话案例。我们研究了 "区域化 "MOIP 的互动过程,该过程吸引了不同的公众和关注点,最终旨在创建一个机构舞台,让来自不同层面和规模的参与者汇聚一堂,共同理解使命。通过地区化理解的地区不仅是创新政策的明确对象,也是政策的隐性实践。通过在联邦和地区之间调动使命,参与其中的行动者塑造了一个阐明创新政策方向性的政治空间。

From niche support to system building—Perceptions of the transformation potential of policy measures on packaging reuse 从利基支持到系统建设--对包装再利用政策措施转型潜力的看法

Reuse is suggested as a strategy to reduce mounting single-use packaging consumption and the related pollution. In this exploratory study, we investigated how governance can create conditions for the uptake of reusable food packaging in Finland when phasing out the existing single use system is not viable. We identified policy instruments addressing packaging reuse and analyzed how key stakeholders perceive the ability of these instruments to induce systemic change. The results indicate that the current policy mix entails mainly niche support measures and that its transformational power is relatively weak; to strengthen it, further measures on single use regime destabilization should be jointly implemented with reuse system building and niche support. However, addressing all three simultaneously may create tensions between different instruments within a policy mix or between policy mixes targeting separate goals. This requires paying more attention to directionality, policy coherence, consistence, and congruence when designing transformative policy mixes.

重复使用被认为是减少一次性包装消耗和相关污染的一种策略。在这项探索性研究中,我们调查了在芬兰,当逐步淘汰现有的一次性使用系统不可行时,政府如何为可重复使用食品包装的采用创造条件。我们确定了针对包装再利用的政策工具,并分析了主要利益相关者如何看待这些工具引发系统性变革的能力。研究结果表明,当前的政策组合主要包括利基支持措施,其变革能力相对较弱;为加强政策组合,应在建立再利用系统和利基支持的基础上,进一步采取破坏单一使用制度稳定的措施。然而,同时解决这三个问题可能会造成政策组合中不同工具之间或针对不同目标的政策组合之间的紧张关系。这就要求在设计变革性政策组合时,更多地关注方向性、政策连贯性、一致性和协调性。

This requires paying more attention to directionality, policy coherence, consistence, and congruence when designing transformative policy mixes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100896"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210422424000868/pdfft?md5=576f1195e235262b7da1d90137d0e9cc&pid=1-s2.0-S2210422424000868-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142043703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transformative mission-oriented innovation policy aims to redirect innovation, but evidence of this directional ability is limited. This paper examines whether transformer missions redirect values reflected by mission-oriented projects. We study the EU Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters’ and use probabilistic topic modelling and thematic analyses to identify, conceptualize, and compare latent values described in 17 policy documents (i.e., strategic layer), 37 mission-oriented projects, and 809 mission-relevant projects (i.e., operational layer). We map how these values changed during the mission launch. The results of this study are ambivalent. On the one hand, the mission launch corresponds with an increase of funded projects of which mission-oriented projects commonly frame efforts towards mission objectives. On the other hand, there is a misalignment between policy and project-level values while the prevalence of project-level values remained largely unaffected by the mission. These mixed results provide a more nuanced understanding of transformer missions’ directional abilities.

以变革使命为导向的创新政策旨在重新引导创新,但这种引导能力的证据却很有限。本文探讨了转型使命是否会重新引导以使命为导向的项目所反映的价值观。我们研究了欧盟的 "恢复我们的海洋和水域 "任务,并使用概率主题建模和主题分析来识别、概念化和比较 17 份政策文件(即战略层)、37 个任务导向项目和 809 个任务相关项目(即操作层)中描述的潜在价值观。我们绘制了这些价值观在任务启动过程中的变化图。这项研究的结果是矛盾的。一方面,任务启动意味着受资助项目的增加,其中以任务为导向的项目通常为实现任务目标而努力。另一方面,政策和项目层面的价值观不一致,而项目层面的价值观的普遍性基本不受特派团的影响。这些喜忧参半的结果使我们对转型特派团的指导能力有了更细致的了解。

The paper addresses tensions in organizing civil society activities in urban sustainability transitions. It argues that these activities need focus to be impactful while also demanding flexibility to remain adaptive. The latter can hardly be achieved by individual organizations alone but requires closer examination of the ecology of organizations in which civil society actors operate. This paper contributes to the literature on the governance of urban sustainability by systematically analyzing this organizational context and its long-term dynamics. Adopting a neo-institutional lens, the paper scrutinizes civil society activities with the ‘institutional work’ approach and sheds light on how the organizational context enables changes therein. The longitudinal case study of the Local Agenda 21 in Augsburg reveals, via a mixed-method approach, how civil society actors navigate tensions by altering their organizational context. Increasing its diversity and complexity in a bottom-up process allowed them to engage in more transformative work.

本文探讨了在城市可持续性转型过程中组织民间社会活动所面临的紧张关系。它认为,这些活动需要集中精力才能产生影响,同时也需要灵活性以保持适应性。后者仅靠单个组织很难实现,需要对民间社会行动者所处的组织生态进行更深入的研究。本文通过系统分析这种组织环境及其长期动态,为有关城市可持续性治理的文献做出了贡献。本文采用新制度视角,以 "制度工作 "的方法审视公民社会的活动,并揭示了组织环境如何促成其中的变化。通过对奥格斯堡 "地方 21 世纪议程 "的纵向案例研究,采用混合方法揭示了民间社会行动者如何通过改变其组织环境来应对紧张局势。在一个自下而上的过程中增加其多样性和复杂性,使他们能够从事更具变革性的工作。
