In this paper, we empirically explore the dynamics of “place-based transition intermediation”, through a case study of the ‘Dune farmers’ in the Netherlands. The farmers initiated a collaboration that serves as a bottom-up, non-state intermediary organization. The case shows the opportunities and intricacies of transition governance through place-based intermediation. We articulate six functions of intermediaries used in such place-sensitive transition governance: (1) Empowerment through cultivating local identity; (2) Constructing place-based relational capital; (3) Developing regional innovative capacity in a place-based innovation system; (4) Stimulating place-based learning; (5) Concretizing transition governance; and (6) Representing place-based networks. We conclude that place-based intermediation deserves attention, both in research and policy, to improve transition governance and help accelerate place-sensitive transition processes towards sustainable futures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100869"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210422424000595/pdfft?md5=9513f7312fe93cf8c93d886d33ab30a2&pid=1-s2.0-S2210422424000595-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141424633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through an exploration of a Welsh (UK) public food micro-mission, we identify the evolving tensions and conflicts and their impact on such micro-missions and their outcomes.

The interactions are divided into technological or market and can be negative (<em>competition</em> and <em>resistance)</em> or positive (<em>collaboration</em> and <em>diversification)</em>. We analyze these interaction types through a case study of offshore wind in Norway. Many positive interactions were observed, including knowledge overlaps and infrastructure compatibilities. Negative interactions include competition about future space constraints at ports, labor availability, and resistance by incumbent wind turbine manufacturers. Further, market and technological interactions are mutually influential, creating important feedback loops.

The dynamics prompt a discussion on how conventional demand-side tools, such as pricing schemes and technology implementation programs, can be adapted to better suit the needs of vulnerable households. Additionally, they showcase the possibility of experimenting with new and innovative ways to bring about more radical change, e.g. sufficiency experiments and revitalising “forgotten” practices.

Empirically, we explore two illustrative experiences of sustainable transitions in Brazil, specifying the roles played by the systemic intermediaries in the process: mobility - the process of reducing emissions, and improvement of quality in raw cow milk production systems. These cases illustrate that socio-technical change would be fostered (or hindered) when three key-roles typically performed by meso-institutions are played - translation, monitoring, and enforcement.

Based on an analysis of ‘scale frames’ in consultation submissions to the mission's proposed implementation, the case highlights that environmental problems do not fit the jurisdictional boundaries of policy and thus induce negotiation over the geography of missions. We show that scale constitutes a crucial discursive strategy used by actors to secure their interests in the mission discourse and that attempts to depoliticize this discussion through science-based policy remain contested due to the constructed nature of scale.
