Transition policy and innovation policy: friends or foes?

چکیده
Innovations have an important role in sustainability transitions and although transition policy is broader than just the stimulation of innovations for sustainability innovation policy can be an important part of transition policy. However, in this paper we argue that there is too little attention for the alignment of transition policy and innovation policy and that this misalignment might hamper sustainability transitions. In this paper we analyze the relation between innovation policy and transition policy and the expected consequences of this relation for societal transitions to sustainability. We will use the Dutch transition management policy case to illustrate our argument.

متن کاملOptimisation of Healthcare Contracts: Tensions Between Standardisation and Innovation; Comment on “Competition in Healthcare: Good, Bad or Ugly?”
An important determinant of health system performance is contracting.
