Sample question examIn an article about renewable community energy (= renewable energy
produced by community initiatives/ cooperatives), Roberts (2020) writes
the following: “Since the 1970s, citizens have organized through
community energy initiatives to take ownership of renewable energy
production. The European Union’s (EU) new Clean Energy for All
Europeans Legislative Package (CEP) now formally recognizes this set of
actors as ‘renewable’ and ‘citizen’ energy communities. (…) In May 2019,
the EU institutions concluded the final legislative files for the Clean Energy
for All Europeans Legislative Package (CEP), a legal framework that will
help the EU meet its 2030 climate and energy objectives. Within this
legislative package, [there are directives that] contain provisions that
establish a supportive EU legal framework for community ownership. The
CEP defines two new concepts labelled ‘renewable energy communities’
and ‘citizen energy communities’. It also requires Member States to
ensure certain rights of energy communities and establish enabling
frameworks to ensure a level playing field and promote their
development”. We invite you to analyse this development [= renewable
community energy + EU legislations] from the perspective of transition
theory, power dynamics and social innovation, by answering the following
questions.
a. How can you explain the transition dynamics of this development from
the perspective of the X-curve (Hebinck et al. 2022, Silvestri et al. 2022),
i.e. how can you position different aspects of this development in different
parts of the X-curve? Which parts of the X-curve is missing in the
development described above?
b. Explain the difference between technological innovation and social
innovation by using renewable community energy as an example. Make
sure to include different dimensions of social innovation in your
explanation.
c. How is power to, power with and power over exercised in renewable
community energy? Can you give an example of another power
contestation (Avelino 2021) to reflect on the power dynamics and
challenges of renewable community energy?
, Week 1: Introduction to Transformation Research
Case: A coastal city is facing rapid land erosion due to climate change,
threatening local ecosystems and tourism. The city council is considering
a transformational approach to address this issue.
Questions:
1. Based on Fazey et al.'s (2017) research, how can deep engagement
with complex social processes inform the city's approach to
transformation?
2. Considering the need for upscaling efforts identified by Fazey et al.
(2017), what capacities and governance structures should the city
focus on to facilitate transformational change?
3. How can the city challenge prevailing notions and assumptions
about change to develop innovative solutions for land erosion?
Case: In the coastal city of Nova Porto, residents face frequent flooding
due to rising sea levels—a clear consequence of climate change. The city
council has introduced a transformative project that involves constructing
a series of living barriers along the coast. These barriers, made from a
combination of engineered structures and natural mangrove plantations,
are designed not only to protect the coastline but also to provide new
habitats for marine life and green spaces for residents.
Questions:
1. How does the project in Nova Porto exemplify the key aspects of
societal transformation as discussed by Fazey et al. (2017) in
relation to climate change?
2. Reflecting on Feola (2015), which of the eight primary concepts
employed in societal transformation are most relevant to Nova
Porto's approach to climate adaptation, and why?
3. Considering the governance challenges outlined by Patterson et al.
(2017), how might the Nova Porto project navigate the "five A's"
(architecture, agency, adaptiveness, accountability, and allocation
and access) in their coastal living barriers initiative?
Week 2: Transition Theory & Multi-Actor Perspective (MAP)
Case: A national government is initiating a transition policy for the
automotive industry to shift from combustion engines to electric vehicles
(EVs) within two decades.
Questions:
1. What multi-actor perspective strategies should the government
employ to facilitate this transition?
2. How can the government evaluate transformative potential and
ensure that the power relations/inqualities are addressed in this
transition?
3. In what ways might the government's policies unintentionally create
or perpetuate power imbalances among different actors?
