| Summary |
"Modelling Transitions shows what computational, formal, and data-driven approaches can and could mean for sustainability transitions research, presenting the state-of-the-art and exploring what lies beyond. Featuring contributors from many major authors, this book presents the various benefits of modelling for transitions research. More than just taking stock, it also critically examines what computational, formal and data-driven approaches can mean for transitions research. This includes identifying a variety of approaches currently not part of the portfolios of transitions modellers. Far from only singing praise, critical methodological and philosophical introspection are key aspects of this important book. This book speaks to modellers and non-modellers alike who value the development of robust knowledge on transitions to sustainability, including colleagues in congenial fields. Be they students, researchers and practitioners, everyone interested transitions should find this book relevant as reference, resource and guide"-- Provided by publisher |
