Abstract

Choosing successful governance strategies for transformative change toward sustainability is critical. However, the multitude of approaches is overwhelming. This article identifies three underlying key dimensions of transformative change: in depth, system-wide, and quick. We content that these cannot be achieved simultaneously due to trade-offs. This provides the starting point for conceptualizing three more realistic archetypical governance pathways. They all start with strategies representing two of the three dimensions, while the third follows: (1) Big Plans start with deep and system-wide change (e.g. large-scale flood protection), (2) Small Wins with deep and quick change (e.g. community-based conservation), and (3) Rule Changes with system-wide and quick change (e.g. the EU Emissions Trading System). Choices depend on the societal context and governance capabilities.

向可持续性转型变革的三种典型治理途径
为实现可持续发展的转型变革选择成功的治理战略至关重要。然而,众多方法让人应接不暇。本文指出了转型变革的三个基本关键维度:深入、全系统和快速。我们认为,由于需要权衡利弊,这三个方面不可能同时实现。这为我们构思三条更现实的原型治理途径提供了出发点。它们都以代表三个维度中两个维度的战略为起点,而第三个维度紧随其后:(1) 大计划始于深入和全系统的变革(如大规模防洪),(2) 小胜利始于深入和快速的变革(如基于社区的保护),(3) 规则变革始于全系统和快速的变革(如欧盟排放交易系统)。选择取决于社会环境和治理能力。
