在英国，气候变化和能源已在政策议程上汇聚在一起。我们讨论了基于位于单个、离散的政策领域内的明确定义的网络对政策变化理论的影响。我们认为，这种方法难以解释政策趋同条件下的变化动态。气候变化问题开放并破坏了英国能源政策部门的稳定，但这一进程出人意料地没有冲突，尽管政策发生了根本性转变。到目前为止，能源和气候变化部门的融合在很大程度上是在论述层面上进行的，我们将注意力集中在一些不同但基本上互补的关于气候变化解决方案的故事情节上。我们借鉴了关于社会技术政权转型的想法，首先，探索为什么故事情节没有明显的冲突，其次，找出随着话语转化为物质现实，故事情节中的紧张局势确实出现的小规模利基。
In the UK climate change and energy have converged on the policy agenda. We discuss the implications for theories of policy change based on well-defined networks located within single, discrete, policy domains. We suggest that such approaches struggle to account for the dynamics of change in conditions of policy convergence. The issue of climate change has opened up and destabilised the UK energy policy sector, but this process has been surprisingly free of conflict, despite radical policy shifts. To date, convergence of the energy and climate change sectors has largely occurred at a discursive level, and we focus our attention on a number of different, but largely complementary, storylines about solutions to climate change. We draw on ideas about sociotechnical regime transitions, first, to explore why the storylines are not in obvious conflict, and, second, to identify small-scale niches where tensions in storylines do emerge as discourse is translated into material reality.
