Abstract

The literature on societal transitions offers many policy recommendations. The implicit assumption is that the civil servants can follow these recommendations and design policies to accelerate transitions. This article shows that governmental transformation is needed to enable civil servants to act upon these, which is currently far from straightforward due to institutional constraints. We used a research-by-design approach with four design groups of civil servants working on transitions within a Dutch ministry. By studying how they interacted and designed alternative scenarios for resolving real-life, deeply rooted institutional constraints, we identified twelve preliminary institutional conditions for a government working on sustainability transitions. The institutional conditions relate to working with uncertainty, implementing operational management, implementing interdependent stewardship, and detaching from the current system.
政府致力于可持续发展转型的体制条件
关于社会转型的文献提出了许多政策建议。其中隐含的假设是,公务员可以遵循这些建议并制定加速转型的政策。本文表明,要使公务员能够根据这些建议采取行动,需要进行政府转型,而目前由于体制限制,这一点远非易事。我们采用了设计研究法,与荷兰某部委内从事转型工作的四个公务员设计小组合作。通过研究他们如何互动,并设计替代方案来解决现实生活中根深蒂固的制度限制,我们初步确定了政府在可持续转型方面的十二项制度条件。这些制度条件涉及与不确定性打交道、实施运营管理、实施相互依存的管理以及脱离现有制度。
