Abstract Understanding the performance of collaborative governance regimes (CGRs) necessitates an understanding how stakeholders and their interactions evolve over time. However, few studies assess evolution structure or process dynamics CGRs This paper contributes to our longitudinal CGRs. We apply a modified grounded theory approach dataset collaboration case develop empirically-based about often persist time, different components what conditions support hinder this evolution, developmental trajectories lead differences in outputs outcomes achieved by these groups. find that follow variety trajectories, from failing initiate, achieving work relatively quick sustaining operations for decades, incurring slow rapid declines health. Additionally, many characteristics CGRs, including leadership, process, accountability, outputs/outcomes, peak at midpoint observed suggesting some point, even stable healthy collaborations incur decline robustness.

Abstract Social innovation is perceived as a collaborative response from civic society actors to societal challenges and such increasingly being recognised driver for sustainable development. promotes values, particularly in marginalised rural areas that are often struggling with biophysical market limits, well shortages of public funding. In order identify diverging development paths (DDPs) social innovation, this article, we use two large sets empirical material the SIMRA research project. First, meta‐analyses diverse situations contexts, 211 validated examples. Second, rely on 11 in‐depth cases reflect contexts dimensions innovation. The elaboration conceptualisation deductive analyses result creation typology DDPs, four DDPs identified explained. article provides an improved understanding how emerges develops capture processes resulting changes turn areas' diversity into strengths. An important conclusion involves both local external actors, yet cannot develop without specific internal activity knowledge.

The Water-Energy-Food Nexus has emerged over the past decade as a useful concept to reduce trade-offs and increase synergies in promoting goals of water, energy food securities. While WEF scholarship substantiates biophysical interlinkages calls for increased effective coordination across sectors levels, knowledge on conditions is still lacking. Analysing nexus governance from polycentricity perspective may contribute better understanding coordination. In this paper, we propose conceptual framework analysing based Institutional Analysis Development (IAD) Networks Adjacent Action Situations (NAAS). interdependence among transactions pursuing securities by actors different action situations generates need changing or sustaining institutions, policy instruments that guide actions leading sustainable outcomes. Coordination attained through arrangements cooperation, coercion competition. complex social-ecological systems unlikely be achieved single mode but rather synergistic combinations modes.

Further, integrating political ecology conceptualisations power into analytical extends analysis include influence relations Methodological innovation delineating identifying unit well sources types data required operationalise framework.

Sustainability outcomes are influenced by the laws and configurations of natural engineered systems as well activities in socio-economic systems. An important subset human activity is creation implementation institutions, formal informal rules shaping a wide range behavior. Understanding these codifying them computational models can provide missing insights into why function way they do (static) pace structure transitions required to improve sustainability (dynamic). Here, we conduct comparative synthesis three modeling approaches— integrated assessment modeling, engineering–economic optimization, agent-based modeling—with underexplored potential represent institutions. We first perform experiments on climate mitigation that specific aspects heterogeneous including policies institutional coordination, attitudes norms. find measurable but uneven aggregate impacts, while more politically meaningful distributional impacts large across various actors. Our results show omitting institutions influence costs miss opportunities leverage forces speed up emissions reduction.

In this paper, we offer a comprehensive and interdisciplinary review of 'failure' in transitions research. What is meant by failure, the community biased against it? How failure explained through different perspectives? can failures be addressed more appropriately studies? We synthesize large body evidence spanning studies, innovation science technology organisation management policy studies history to probe sharpen these questions. examine within literatures instances possibilities success with discuss why may problematic, organising our analysis around four types bias (selection, cognitive, interpretive, prescription). addition, three 'families' framings put forward socio-technical literature, notably discrete events, systemic failings processual accounts how they constructively work.
