Transition Management: New Mode of Governance for Sustainable Development

by Derk Loorbach

Acknowledging that states are faced with societal problems too complex for existing approaches, this in-depth guide to transition management suggests combining long-term vision and short-term experiments in a selective participatory process that supports policy integration, social learning, and social innovation. The book covers the principle's first five years of theory and practice in the Netherlands, making it a unique account of an innovative experiment in policy theory and practice that is highly relevant in an international context.
