促进可持续性的基层创新正在吸引越来越多的政策关注。借鉴广泛的实证研究社区能源在英国，并采取最近的支持，国家政府作为案例研究，我们采用三个不同的分析视角：战略利基管理，利基政策宣传，关键利基。虽然第一种和第二种观点似乎充分解释了基层创新的政策影响，但每一种观点都排除了更多的转型可能性。因此，我们认为，如果基层创新要实现其全部潜力，那么我们还需要追求第三个，关键的利基视角，并开启关于更多社会变革途径的可持续性的辩论。
Grassroots innovations for sustainability are attracting increasing policy attention. Drawing upon a wide range of empirical research into community energy in the UK, and taking recent support from national government as a case study, we apply three distinct analytical perspectives: strategic niche management, niche policy advocacy, and critical niches. Whilst the first and second perspectives appear to explain policy influence in grassroots innovation adequately, each also shuts out more transformational possibilities. We therefore argue that, if grassroots innovation is to realise its full potential, then we need to also pursue a third, critical niches perspective, and open up debate about more socially transformative pathways to sustainability.
