Abstract Electric utilities, challenged by a rapidly unfolding energy transition, use many informal institutions to bridge across technologies and sectors. Little is known, however, about how electric utility systems other polycentric systems' institutions‐in‐use vary evolve over time. We novel engaged research method, the Nominal Group Technique, solicit current, future, potential from 66 staff board members 18 utilities in shared system Minnesota. Our questions focus on favored for distributed resources like solar, vehicles, batteries. Generating 578 ideas, we parse each into institutional statements using Institutional Grammar. then identify configurations current desired feedback pathways different infrastructures actor groups. results demonstrate importance of structure context‐related adjustment mechanisms designing change infrastructure information payoff rules. Theoretically, advance understanding theories governance systems, toward linear, parallel, recursive, conjunctive dynamics that expand beyond evolutionary theories. methods point as way help converse between theory practice, particularly institutionally technologically complex periods transition. 摘要 面对快速展开的能源转型挑战,电力公司使用许多非正式制度来连接技术和部门。然而,研究不足的是,电力公司系统和其他多中心系统的现行制度如何随时间推移而变化和发展。我们使用一种新颖的参与式研究方法(即名义团体技术),从明尼苏达州的一个共享电力系统中的18家电力公司的66名员工和董事会成员那里征集当前、未来和潜在的现行制度。我们的问题聚焦于太阳能、电动汽车和电池等分布式能源资源所偏好的制度。我们生成了578个想法,并使用制度语法将每个想法解析为制度陈述,以帮助确定不同基础设施和行动者群体中当前和期望的反馈途径的制度配置。我们的研究结果表明,结构和与情境相关的调整机制在“设计共享基础设施系统变革”方面具有潜在重要性,信息和回报规则也具有潜在重要性。我们从理论上增进了对多中心治理系统中变革理论的理解,即朝着“超越进化变革理论的线性、并行、递归和联合动态”发展。我们的方法将参与式研究方法作为一种方式来帮助理论与实践之间的交流,特别针对在转型期间具备复杂制度和复杂技术的系统。 Resumen Las empresas eléctricas, ante el desafío de una transición energética que se desarrolla rápidamente, utilizan muchas instituciones informales para tender puentes entre tecnologías y sectores.

Environmental challenges are increasingly often interconnected. Yet, they commonly addressed separately, which might result in inefficiencies and missed opportunities. While it is widely acknowledged that integrative solutions can bring co-benefits synergetic outcomes for different sectors, empirical studies systematically explore cross-sector integration at the operational level rare. Drawing from two case with a high potential reducing environmental impacts of energy production agriculture while restoring nature Dutch rural context, this exploratory study aims to provide an improved understanding institutional factors influence fulfillment areas. To understand how outcomes, we use rules guide actions interactions among actors Institutional Analysis Development (IAD) framework. Our analysis shows not fully recognized realized Key hamper diverging perceptions desired (scope rule), exclusion important decision-making (position imbalances sharing costs benefits (payoff rule). We conclude agreement on between necessary potential.

Solving humanity's social-environmental challenges calls for collective action by relevant actors. Hence, involving these actors in the policy process has been deemed both necessary and promising. But how to what extent can participatory interventions (PIs) foster sustainable environmental natural resource management? Lab lab-in-the-field experiments on co-operation context of (i.e. social dilemmas) case study research processes offer insights into this question but have hitherto mainly remained unconnected. This article reviews from two streams literature tandem, synthesising analysing them using institutional analysis development (IAD) framework combination with network situations (NAS) social-ecological systems (SES) framework. We thus perform an integrative interpretative narrative review draw a richer more nuanced picture PIs: their potential impacts, (institutional behavioural) mechanisms challenges, caveats recommendations design implementation. Our shows that PIs indeed (a) helping craft suitable legitimate arrangements (b) addressing and/or influencing actors' attributes relevance action, namely individual shared understandings, beliefs preferences. To fulfil potential, organisers sponsors must address link broader through soundly designed implemented processes. Complementary follow-up, enforcement conflict resolution are nurture, reassure sustain preferences undergird trust-building action. The conceptual developed help researchers practitioners further assess insights, disentangle PIs' integrate practice governance

Oil palm smallholders often have difficulty implementing good agricultural practices and replanting, tend to obtain low yields compared corporate plantations. A frequent strategy improve the sustainability of smallholder production systems is sustainable intensification, aimed at increasing land productivity farmers' incomes. To facilitate many leading public private initiatives require farmers join farmer organisations as a precondition for certification assistance, with objective achieving advantages scale. The this article analyse resilience in Ophir plantation when faced replanting. We do so by linking actors, situations, contexts relevant collective action five cooperatives over 40-year period. Our aim offer unique insights into enduring dynamics that influence organisations, shed light on oil replanting strategies, draw several key lessons from case. findings are based field visits lead author before, during after Both qualitative quantitative data were collected enable holistic overview.

Transitioning toward more sustainable livelihoods requires tackling complex challenges in innovative ways. Positioned at the intersection of innovation and transition studies, transdisciplinary research (TD) has surfaced as a method to confront sustainability by integrating various scientific disciplines engaging non-academic stakeholders. Currently, there is growing call from both policy makers funders assess effects TD research, especially its societal impacts. However, typically involves local projects where context may substantially shape conducted. In this paper we explore how understanding factors project contributes effects. We built working model, based on different established concepts studies conceptualize project. applied model comparative case study two regional sub-projects one large circular bioeconomy for agriculture Sub Saharan Africa.
