The hygienic transition from cesspools to sewer systems (1840–1930): The dynamics of regime transformation
提出内生体制转型作为技术替代之外的另一种转型路径,结合社会学和制度理论概念化转型动态,并以荷兰从粪坑到下水道系统的历史案例加以说明。
This article addresses the topic of transition and system change, and proposes endogenous regime transformation as alternative transition path to technological substitution. Using sociological and institutional insights, the dynamics of regime transformation are conceptualised. Two characteristics are pressure from outsider groups and adjustments in cognitions, norms and formal rules, enacted by regime insiders. The transformation perspective is illustrated with a historical case study, the hygienic transition from cesspools to integrated sewer systems in The Netherlands. The case study is used to make additions to the transformation perspective, particularly with regard to tactical and strategic games.
