Globalization and transformations to sustainable development

The research group on globalization and transformations to sustainable development analyzes how socio-technical transitions play out in multi-scalar space and how they may be steered towards increasing sustainability. The group combines insights from economic geography, institutional sociology and sustainability science to understand the barriers and drivers for sustainability transitions in the urban water management and energy sectors. We formulate new ideas on how transformative change may be pushed at various spatial scales/ in various places around the world at once.

Main focus areas

Institutional barriers to transitions in urban water management
In the first focus area, we analyze the institutional structures from global to local levels that hinder/support the uptake of innovative solutions in urban water management. This work is based on two interrelated research projects on ‘global socio-technical regimes in the water sector’ (GLORIWA) and ‘institutional barriers to on-site water reuse’ (BARRIERS).

Global innovation dynamics in clean-tech sectors
The second focus area assesses how entrepreneurial actors create and exploit global networks to create supportive environments for clean-tech innovation. A key focus here is on global innovation system building and technology legitimation strategies that shape the uptake of renewable energy, on-site water recycling or direct potable reuse technologies in various parts of the world.

Transitions to sustainable development
A third focus area analyzes whether and how infrastructure transitions may be steered in the direction of increasing sustainability. We are developing a conceptual framework for analyzing the long-term transformation of coupled social-ecological and socio-technical systems. In this work we combine sustainability science’s frameworks for sustainability assessment in coupled human-natural systems with transition literature’s rich conceptualization of transformative change in socio-technical systems.
