 - Netherlands :  Springer,  November 2009 
<br/><br/> Transition management is a new concept for long-term policy design for the reflexive governance of socio-tchnical systems. It has recently attracted attention beyond its original context, the Netherlands. Yet, considering the local origins of transition management, it is also valid to question whether its assumptions concerning the governance of long-term transition management model into the Finnish context on the basis of two case studies in different sectors. We suggest that the policy design changes when it is moved to another country and identify factors that influence the outcome of the transfer process.
