"The research question underlying this paper is as follows: how can we conceptualize who are the different actors exercising #power in #transition, and what are the (shifting) #power relations between them?"
"In response to the lack of attention to #power and #politics (as outlined in the introduction), a number of authors have explicitly theorized the role of power in transitions."
"Besides a conceptual tool for understanding transition governance processes, we see the MaP (multi-actor perspective) as having practical value for the application of #transition #management."
