Building on the work of the authors’ previous volume, the book “Guidebook for aligning practices and steering multi-system change” translates cutting-edge theoretical concepts into the language and applied toolkits of change practitioners. Empirically grounded and theoretically sophisticated book provides policy makers and change managers methods and toolkits for conceptual modelling of change when handling cross-sectoral issues. The authors both ‘zoom in’ to the granular unfolding change of everyday life and ‘zoom out’ to examine the ‘big picture’ of socio-technical systems such as energy, mobility, food and healthcare. In addition to the social practice theories introduced in the first volume, the authors draw on the multi-level perspective that underpins sustainability transition studies and combine two theories. They are also inspired by the Deep Transition concept that tackles multi-systems change. Bridging the gap between the theorisation of sustainability transitions and practical guidelines, it will appeal to policy makers, sustainability project managers and students of management, social and political sciences, technology and innovation.

Recenzijas

"This book is a mustread for practitioners, researchers and students who are taking part in or are studying societal change! The book outlines a theoretically wellinformed, systematic and subtle way of bringing together everyday practices and conditional systems that sustain or challenge these practices into one framework with the ambition of showing ways to social change in the light of pressing societal crises such as the climate. Cuttingedge insights meet an imaginative range of concrete examples and end with an overview of how to create a program for social change." - Bente Halkier, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

"This lively and readerfriendly book not only provides a profound scholarly source to steering multisystem change by drawing upon social practice theories and transition theories for researchers, but it also serves as an informative guidebook for practitioners willing to act as changemakers towards sustainability. With its diverse empirical examples and exercises, the book will be a fruitful source for teaching. Most importantly, the authors do not let the reader to become discouraged in the face of systemic sustainability challenges, but the book essentially offers hope and stimulation for solving these challenges step by step while keeping in mind the bigger picture." - Senja Laakso, University lecturer in Environmental Policy, Tampere University

"This guidebook is an engaging, beautifully illustrated set of insights, tools and guidelines for how to navigate systems change. It builds bridges across many divides: between practitioners and academics, resilience and transformation, transition and social practice theories. This book offers a compelling and well argued and muchneeded overview that will help its readers to work on confronting the unprecedented polycrisis moment we are living today." - Johan Schot, Professor of Global History and Sustainability Transitions, Utrecht University
