Core themes RDD in relation to Delta Approach

Versie van 5 nov 2018 om 10:36

Delta Approach building blocks	Transition thinking	Systems thinking	Applied research	Related learning goals
Integrated approach	Transition theory takes into account ecological, social and economic aspects. Transition studies usually focus on the transition of a specific societal system.
Sustainability, flexibility, solidarity	Normative terms such as these are usually associated with sustainability transitions: fundamental changes towards a more sustainable society.
Anchoring in legislation and depolitization	Changes in legislation, politics and financial systems are often changes in the structure of the dominant constellation in a societal system (the regime). The existing structure will resist fundamental change and is therefore an obstacle for transitions. Depending on the observed transition, legislation, politics and financial systems can also be regarded as landscape aspects.
Finance and implementation
Long term approach vs. short term measures	Transitions span at least 25 years. Short term measures are part of such long term transitions, either strengthening or challenging the regime. Transition management combines a long term approach (visions, strategies) with short term measures (transition experiments).
Cooperation with other government levels and stakeholders	A transition usually involves changes in the interactions between stakeholders, including different government levels.
Focus on key decisions and clear deadlines	Not particularly relevant for transition studies.
Supported analysis instruments	Not particularly relevant for transition studies.
Dealing with uncertainties and using scenarios	Uncertainties are characteristic for transitions. It is not possible to predict what the outcome of a transition will be or what effect measures will have on it. In transition management working with possible transition pathways helps deal with these uncertainties, as does putting an emphasis on social learning.
Dealing with uncertainties in decision making
Innovation	Innovations is perhaps the most important element in the occurrence of a transition. Innovations are thought of as niche developments that challenge the regime.
Quality label	Not particularly relevant for transition studies.
