Question
Asked 20th Aug, 2019

Is there any literature which combines sustainability transitions and policy transfer?

I'm looking for research which looks (either)
- at the role of international policy transfer for sustainability transitions / transformations (especially in non-industrialized countries); and/or
- at the role of transition-related aspects - like innovation niches, experiments, visions for alternative system configurations, and exnovation / destabilisation - for policy transfer (especially to non-industrialized countries).
Do you have any suggestions?
