该文件提出了一项建议，将分析向可持续和低碳社会过渡的三种方法联系起来：定量系统建模;社会技术转型分析;以及基于主动性的学习。我们认为，这些方法中的每一种都呈现出部分和不完整的画面，这对它们可以为政策和实践提供的见解的质量和有用性产生了影响。一个将这些不同方法联系起来的框架有望丰富每一种方法，同时为更有力和完整地分析可持续过渡途径提供基础，更好地解决决策者和实践者面临的问题和困境。我们阐述了转型路径的分析和治理的五个关键挑战，并比较了与每一个这些的三种方法。我们建议整合战略的基础上对齐，桥接和迭代，认为不同方法的从业者之间的结构化对话是必要的。在实践中，这种对话将围绕联合知识生产的三个领域组织：确定通过一体化解决的共同分析或治理问题;建立共同概念（边界对象）;以及建立业务桥接装置（数据和指标、途径评估及其交付）。这些进程可包括专家和社会伙伴。我们得出结论，未来的研究前景和转型治理的分析的作用。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The paper sets out a proposal for bridging and linking three approaches to the analysis of transitions to sustainable and low-carbon societies: quantitative systems modelling; socio-technical transition analysis; and initiative-based learning. We argue that each of these approaches presents a partial and incomplete picture, which has implications for the quality and usefulness of the insights they can deliver for policy and practice. A framework for bridging these different approaches promises to enrich each of the approaches, while providing the basis for a more robust and complete analysis of sustainable transitions pathways that serves better to address questions and dilemmas faced by decision-makers and practitioners. We elaborate five key challenges for the analysis and governance of transitions pathways, and compare the three approaches in relation to each of these. We suggest an integration strategy based on alignment, bridging, and iteration, arguing that a structured dialogue between practitioners of different approaches is needed. In practical terms, such a dialogue would be organised around three areas of joint knowledge production: defining common analytical or governance problems to be tackled through integration; establishing shared concepts (boundary objects); and establishing operational bridging devices (data and metrics, pathways evaluation and their delivery). Such processes could include experts and societal partners. We draw conclusions about future research perspectives and the role of analysis in transitions governance. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
