1. 1. A Practice Theory in Practice : Analytical Consequences in the Study of Organization and Socio-Technical Change

   Författare :Inti José Lammi; Jukka Hohenthal; Leon Caesarius; Anders Buch; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; practice theory; organization; organizing; work; technology; materiality; socio-technical change; methodology; qualitative research; site ontology; public administration; Business Studies; Företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : Appealing calls are often made towards the study of phenomena through so-called practice theory. However, the implications of the use of practice theory, if taken seriously in analysis, are rarely discussed. The chief concern of this thesis is the applicability of the most radical dimensions of practice theory. LÄS MER

3. 2. Addressing the need of transition by socializing and making new friends : A socio-technical perspective on large-scale change in construction

   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Construction industry; digitalization; socio-technical system; transition; technological niches; strategic innovation program; actor-network theory;

   Sammanfattning : This research took its point of departure in the aspiration of large-scale change of the construction industry, where existing industry structures has been frequently criticized. To facilitate innovation and change in the Swedish construction industry, a strategic innovation program has been established based on the idea that research, innovation, and development should manifest itself through the mobilization of collaborative and actor-driven networks.

4. 3. Steel Beyond Coal : Socio-Technical Change and the Emergent Politics of Steel Decarbonisation

   Författare :Valentin Vogl; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel; coal; climate change; decarbonisation; socio-technical transitions; sustainability;

   Sammanfattning : The steel industry is responsible for 8% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and is the second largest user of coal after the power sector. The main emission source in steel production is the blast furnace, which converts iron ore and metallurgical coal into pig iron that is then further refined into steel. LÄS MER

5. 4. Watt’s next? On socio-technical transitions towards future electricity system architectures

   Författare :Kristina Hojcková; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

7. 5. Experimenting for change? : The politics of accomplishing environmental governance through smart energy pilot projects

   Författare :Fredrik Envall; Harald Rohracher; Dick Magnusson; Josefin Wangel; Matthew Cashmore; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; environmental governance; political rationality; experiment; smart energy; socio-technical perspective; knowledge politics; power relations; infrastructure.; miljöstyrning; politisk rationalitet; experiment; smarta nät; socio-tekniskt perspektiv; kunskapspolitik; maktrelationer; infrastruktur.;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates how smart energy experimentation arranges environmental governance in Sweden, focusing on the politics of such processes, against the background of an escalating environmental and climate crisis that necessitates urgent energy transformation. Empirically the thesis includes case studies of pilot projects in Stockholm, Malmö, Västerås, and on Gotland, and analysis of the policy landscape, mainly through text analysis and interviews. LÄS MER
