Silke Beck, Sheila Jasanoff, Andy Stirling, Christine Polzin, The governance of sociotechnical transformations to sustainability, Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, Vol. 49, 2021,
This article makes use of a sociotechnical imaginaries (STI) framework to expose crucial but neglected governance issues in sociotechnical areas of key relevance to sustainability transformations such as energy systems. It explores how the STI concept can contribute to understanding transformations to sustainability (T2S) by illustrating their multidimensionality and temporality.
