Abstract

This paper focuses on sustainability transitions research, which has been developing rapidly outside Japan. It reviews the main theoretical frameworks in the field —i.e., strategic niche management (SNM), multi-level perspective (MLP), and transition management (TM) —and their research trends. After clarifying the relevant concepts, the paper reviews case studies conducted by researchers based in Japan, and presents future research directions in the Japanese context.
