2. 1. Making Blue Carbon : Coastal Ecosystems at the Science-Policy Interface

   Author : Terese Thoni; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate change; UNFCCC; science-policy interface; Blue Carbon; coastal ecosystems; klimatförändringarna; kustnära ekosystem; blått kol; relationen mellan vetenskap och politik; UNFCCC;

   Abstract : Climate change is a growing threat to mankind. The message from the scientific community is clear: we need to act fast and profoundly. The political response has, however, been slow. The likelihood that we will be able to meet our political climate goals only by reducing emissions is slim. READ MORE

4. 2. The Missing Link : The implementation of priorities for research, development, and innovation

   Author : Erik Brattström; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Science policy; research; development; innovation RDI ; priority-setting; implementation; street-level discretion; street-level bureaucracy;

   Abstract : The thesis explores the ‘missing link’ in the study of priority-setting for research, development, and innovation (RDI), namely the processes of implementing RDI priorities, and the consequences of these processes. It does so by focusing on how choices, actions, and motivations of implementers of RDI priorities established elsewhere in the policy system enact, or carry out, the priorities, resulting in new conditions for RDI production.

5. 3. Small science on big machines: Politics and practices of synchrotron radiation laboratories

   Author : Olof Hallonsten; Research Policy Institute (RPI); []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; big science; little science; sophistication; collectivization; European Synchrotron Radiation Facility; Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource; MAX-lab; scientific entrepreneurs; changing dynamics of science; Synchrotron radiation; research policy; science policy;

   Abstract : Synchrotron radiation laboratories are large scientific facilities where various scientific experiments are carried out by the use of radiation produced by particle accelerators. Research with synchrotron radiation emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as a peripheral activity at particle physics laboratories. READ MORE

6. 4. The Transformative Imagination : Re-imagining the world towards sustainability

   Author : Diego Galafassi; Victor Galaz; Tim Daw; Karen O'Brien; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ways of knowing; transformations; complexity; futures; practice; transdisciplinarity; creativity; art-based; embodied meaning; action-research; science-policy; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : A central task for sustainability science in the Anthropocene is to offer guidance on alternative pathways of change. Even though this search and implementation of pathways towards sustainability is likely to require profound social-ecological transformations, little is yet known about the individual and collective capacities needed to support such transformations.

7. 5. Governing Power, Knowledge and Conflict in Complex Commons Systems

   Author : Christian Stöhr; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : Co-management; Power; Governance; Conflict; Wolf governance; Neo-institutionalism; Commons; Fisheries; Knowledge; Open Source Software governance; Participation; Science-policy;

   Abstract : This thesis contributes theoretically and empirically to the research about complex commons governance systems that are characterized by numerous and diverse agents, complex distributions of power, incomplete and competing knowledge as well as diverse contestation and conflict processes. Governance refers to a system of public and/or private coordinating, steering and regulatory processes established and conducted for social (or collective) purposes. READ MORE
