Energy Policy, 2013, vol. 58, issue C, 269-276

Abstract: With the aim to achieve a sustainable future, the field of transition studies has recently received increasing attention. Transition thinking and transition management have even been provided with a prominent spot in strategies and policies of a growing number of countries. However, though various approaches to study transitions (in particular, sustainability transitions) have been discussed and used in the past, an overview of these – with their advantages and disadvantages – has not been provided yet. Furthermore, linkages between these approaches have also not been provided in a single overview.
