Legitimitetskløft i kommunale styringsnettverk: Variasjoner i intern legitimitet mellom strategisk og operativt nivå
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05)Et virkemiddel for norske kommuner i arbeidet med digitalisering av offentlig sektor er å samarbeide i form av et styringsnettverk. For å unngå at slike nettverk blir mer enn ren symbolikk, er det nødvendig med tilstrekkelig ... -
Scalar biases in solar photovoltaic uptake : Socio-materiality regulatory inertia and politics
(Chapter, 2021)Solar photovoltaic (PV) rollout constitutes a rapid global energy transition. Driven by cost reductions, the technology supports climate mitigation in regions with high energy development levels like Europe and new energy ... -
Navigating implementation dilemmas in technology- forcing policies: A comparative analysis of accelerated smart meter diffusion in the Netherlands, UK, Norway, and Portugal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper addresses the implementation of technology-forcing policies in open-ended diffusion processes that involve companies and regulators as well as consumers and civil society actors. Mobilising insights from the ... -
Global sustainability, innovation and governance dynamics of national smart electricity meter transitions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Smart electricity meters are a central feature of any future smart grid, and therefore represent a rapid and significant household energy transition, growing by our calculations from less than 23.5 million smart meters in ... -
E-scooter regulation: The micro-politics of market-making for micro-mobility in Bergen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Micro-mobility market-making represents an under-studied but important aspect of urban transport sustainability transitions. Micro-mobility roll-out combines several critical elements: decarbonisation, digitalisation and ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this text we respond and elaborate on the four comments addressing our original article. In that piece we define qualitative research as an “iterative process in which improved understanding to the scientific community ... -
Legitimating power: Solar energy rollout, sustainability metrics and transition politics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Increasing recognition of the irrefutable urgency to address the global climate challenge is driving mitigation efforts to decarbonise. Countries are setting targets, technological innovation is making renewable energy ... -
From Thin to Thick Representation: How a Female President Shapes Female Parliamentary Behavior
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)How does the symbolic power of a female president affect female parliamentary behavior? Whereas female descriptive representation has increased around the world, women parliamentarians still face significant discrimination ... -
Decision-making and scalar biases in solar photovoltaics roll-out
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Rapid roll-out of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is a key component of decarbonising energy systems. Yet clear risks are involved, including footprints from land use and infrastructure as well as socio-economic inequalities. ... -
Drivers of Scalar Biases: Environmental Justice and the Portuguese Solar Photovoltaic Rollout
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Studying the dynamics of solar photovoltaic (PV) rollout can generate insights on how policies enable and constrain energy transitions. This energy source has low carbon emissions, and has rapidly become economically ... -
Boundaries, limits, landscapes and flows: An analytical framework for boundaries in natural resource management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In times of increasing pressure on natural resources, resource boundaries have become more ambiguous. Resources are increasingly interlinked, and competing users may define a resource and its boundaries differently. At ... -
Toward ‘Cultures of Engagement’? An exploratory comparison of engagement patterns on Facebook news posts

Who benefits from sustainable mobility transitions? Social inclusion, populist resistance and elite capture in Bergen, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Transitioning to sustainable mobility systems is generally thought to require three approaches: avoid, shift and improve. We examine a combination of these in a city at the forefront of implementing transition policies, ... -
Beyond technology: A research agenda for social sciences and humanities research on renewable energy in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This article enriches the existing literature on the importance and role of the social sciences and humanities (SSH) in renewable energy sources research by providing a novel approach to instigating the future research ... -
The visual boundaries of journalism: Native advertising and the convergence of editorial and commercial content
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study investigates the visual objects that are used to either disclose or disguise the commercial nature of native advertising as news articles. We adopt a “material object” approach to explore the potential implications ... -
Life in Anticipation of Wind Power Development: Three Cases from Coastal Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Wind power development, whilst welcomed by many as a potentially green source of energy, also gives rise to considerable local resistance. Drawing on three case studies from coastal Norway (Frøya, Haramsøy, and Egersund), ... -
