本文以彼得·霍尔的工作为基础，建立了一个既能衡量政策范式变化又能解释政策范式变化的框架，从而对制度变迁的文献做出了贡献。它声称，根据本文使用的框架，英国能源政策确实经历了范式转变。气候变化和能源安全这两个最初分开的叙述被发现在变化过程中发挥了核心作用。这一发现与社会学制度主义的假设背道而驰。此外，本文的结论是，到目前为止，政策范式的变化似乎对能源系统的核心社会技术特征影响有限。
This paper contributes to the literature on institutional change by creating a framework, based on the work of Peter Hall, that both measures and explains policy paradigm change. It claims that UK energy policy did undergo a paradigm shift according to the framework used here. Two initially separate narratives, climate change and energy security, are found to have performed central functions within the process of change. This finding runs contrary to assumptions within sociological institutionalism. Furthermore, this paper concludes that the policy paradigm change appears to have had limited impact so far on core socio-technical characteristics of the energy system.
