Abstract
Transition management is a new concept for long-term policy design for
the reflexive governance of socio-technical systems. It has recently
attracted attention beyond its original context, the Netherlands. Yet,
considering the local origins of transition management, it is also valid
to question whether its assumptions concerning the governance of
long-term transitions ‘travel well’. This article aims to explore early
experiences of transferring the transition management model into the
Finnish context on the basis of two case studies in different sectors.
We suggest that the policy design changes when it is moved to another
country and identify factors that influence the outcome of the transfer
process.
