近年来，“向可持续发展转变”的概念在全球可持续发展研究和政策话语中占据越来越重要的地位。治理和政治是理解和分析向可持续发展转变的核心。然而，尽管近年来受到越来越多的关注，但在全球可持续性文献中，转型的治理和政治方面仍然可能发展不足。为了理解和分析社会转型或转型过程，已经开发了各种概念性方法，包括：社会技术转型、社会生态系统、可持续性途径和转型适应。本文批判性地考察了这四种方法，并通过地球系统治理框架的视角对它们进行了反思（Biermann et al., 2009）。这有助于欣赏现有的对转换的见解，并确定关键的研究挑战和机会。总的来说，这篇论文汇集了迄今为止在很大程度上仍然分散的各种观点，以加强对可持续发展转型的未来研究的基础。(C) 2016年作者。这是一篇基于CC by许可的开放获取文章
The notion of 'transformations towards sustainability' takes an increasingly central position in global sustainability research and policy discourse in recent years. Governance and politics are central to understanding and analysing transformations towards sustainability. However, despite receiving growing attention in recent years, the governance and politics aspects of transformations remain arguably under-developed in the global sustainability literature. A variety of conceptual approaches have been developed to understand and analyse societal transition or transformation processes, including: socio-technical transitions, social-ecological systems, sustainability pathways, and transformative adaptation. This paper critically surveys these four approaches, and reflects on them through the lens of the Earth System Governance framework (Biermann et al., 2009). This contributes to appreciating existing insights on transformations, and to identifying key research challenges and opportunities. Overall, the paper brings together diverse perspectives, that have so far remained largely fragmented, in order to strengthen the foundation for future research on transformations towards sustainability.
