摘要

在可持续性转型研究中,蓄意破坏社会技术体制的稳定日益被视为一个核心干预点。然而,在评估制度动荡是否真正发生在系统变革过程中时,却缺乏精细的方法。我们建议通过实地逻辑的制度化转变来评估制度的不稳定性。在方法论上,我们采用社会-技术配置分析法(Socio-Technical Configuration Analysis)来描绘嵌入部门政策中的制度和技术概念的构成和调整随时间推移而发生的变化。在实证上,我们评估了英国脱欧后的农业政策改革在多大程度上标志着不可持续制度的不稳定。通过评估立法辩论记录,我们发现以前占主导地位的制度只在一定程度上被动摇了,因为沿着既定的领域逻辑、政策目标和工具配置的原有发展轨迹依然存在。这些发现支持了我们概念方法的有效性。此外,这些发现还使人们对大规模政策变革的预期变得微妙起来,认为这是制度转变的机会之窗。

Assessing regime destabilisation through policy change: An analysis of agricultural policy in the United Kingdom during Brexit

In sustainability transitions research, the deliberate destabilisation of socio-technical regimes is increasingly recognised as a central intervention point. Absent, however, are granular approaches for assessing whether regime destabilisation actually occurs in processes of systemic change. We propose to assess regime destabilisation through shifts in the institutionalisation of field logics. Methodologically, we employ Socio-Technical Configuration Analysis to map changes over time in the composition and alignment of institutional and technological concepts embedded in sectoral policy.

Empirically, we assess the extent to which post-Brexit agricultural policy reform in the United Kingdom marks the destabilisation of an unsustainable regime. Assessing legislative debate transcripts, we find that the previously dominant regime is only partly destabilised, as pre-existing development trajectories along established configurations of field logics, policy goals and instruments remain. These findings support the validity of our conceptual approach. Moreover, they nuance expectations about large-scale policy change as windows of opportunity for regime shifts.

期刊介绍: Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions serves as a platform for reporting studies on innovations and socio-economic transitions aimed at fostering an environmentally sustainable economy, thereby addressing structural resource scarcity and environmental challenges, particularly those associated with fossil energy use and climate change. The journal focuses on various forms of innovation, including technological, organizational, economic, institutional, and political, as well as economy-wide and sectoral changes in areas such as energy, transport, agriculture, and water management. It endeavors to tackle complex questions concerning social, economic, behavioral-psychological, and political barriers and opportunities, along with their intricate interactions. With a multidisciplinary approach and methodological openness, the journal welcomes contributions from a wide array of disciplines within the social, environmental, and innovation sciences.
