Abstract
By making the STRN community more international and diverse, TGS aims to highlight low- and middle-income countries' viewpoints in addressing the very challenging and complex phenomena that connect local and global, rich and poor. Since the Global South is not monolithic, TGS also aims to showcase the diversity of countries' viewpoints. Inspired by the insightful discussions with researchers, and with the aim of solidifying the ongoing learnings as well as expanding this knowledge base, REGE is inviting authors to submit papers with relevant contributions to the special issue on Sustainability Transitions in the Global South, considering post-Covid-19 context and challenges. Dr. Bipashyee Ghosh (Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex) Prof. Joyashree Roy (Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand as Bangabandhu Chair Professor) Katharina Schiller (Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI) Prof. Mark Swilling (distinguished professor of Sustainable Development in the School of Public Leadership, University of Stellenbosch (Division Head: Sustainable Development) and co-director of the Stellenbosch Centre for Complex Systems in Transition.
Highlights
Sustainability transitions (ST) is an evolving, vibrant research field – approximately 1,100 papers on the subject have been published in 2019 and 2020 in journals indexed in the Scopus database, with a fast and steady growth in the last decade (Kohler et al, 2019)
It is established that scholars working in or on Global South contexts may need to ask different research questions and answer those questions keeping in mind different socio-political, economic and cultural conditions
The very experience of conducting research may be different, resulting in very different hurdles in both empirical and methodological approaches used in research on the Global South, compared to those in the Global North
Summary
Sustainability transitions (ST) is an evolving, vibrant research field – approximately 1,100 papers on the subject have been published in 2019 and 2020 in journals indexed in the Scopus database, with a fast and steady growth in the last decade (Kohler et al, 2019). The theories and empirical evidence of sociotechnical transitions are widely debated by academics, policy makers and practitioners to understand and promote systemic transformations in society. Aiming to rectify this bias and gain deep insights from the knowledge and competence base on sustainability transitions from around the world, the Transitions in Global South (TGS) thematic group was created in 2015, as part of the broader STRN (Sustainability Transitions Research Network) community.
