Shaping the directionality of sustainability transitions: the diverging development patterns of solar photovoltaics in two Chinese provinces
研究中国内蒙古和江苏两省太阳能光伏发展的不同方向，前者发展大型集中式光伏，后者发展分布式光伏，并分析了制度工作、利基与体制互动以及省级行为体利用国家条件等关键因素。
This paper investigates how actors across spatial levels shape the directions of transition. We examine two Chinese provinces, Inner Mongolia and Jiangsu, with contrasting directionalities of solar photovoltaic (PV) development. The former developed PV as part of the large-scale centralized power system, and the latter focused on PV development as a core element of an alternative distributed form of power generation. We argue that three aspects have been key for understanding the divergent patterns: the specific portfolio of enacted institutional work; the type of interactions between niche and regime actors; and the selective leveraging of national institutional conditions by provincial actors.
