الوصف: Governing transitions toward sustainable futures is notoriously challenging. In this thesis we examine the role of transdisciplinary experimentation as a mode of governance toward sustainability. We specifically zoom in on the politics and governance of transdisciplinary experimentation and ask the question: “How may we understand the governance and politics of transdisciplinary experimentation in sustainability transitions?” After first setting the stage in Part I, we theoretically explore different perspectives on the politics of sustainability transition governance (Part II), considering both normative and causal interpretations of politics. In Part III then, we present a tale of two systems, highlighting how R&I systems are coupled to food systems, and how transdisciplinary approaches aimed at sustainability transitions could be further stimulated. Then, in Part IV a number of empirical studies are presented, elaborating on the governance and politics of transdisciplinary experimentation. These studies resulted from our engagement in the EU FIT4FOOD2030 project. In the final part (Part V) we present the main findings, cross-cutting themes, future research directions and reflections, and we provide recommendations for transdisciplinary R&I projects and policy makers. The main contributions of this thesis, we contend, are that by combining a strong theoretical focus on the politics of sustainability transitions with our action-oriented engagement in a transition-oriented project, we were able to (1) illuminate the different ways in which multi-scale, multi-level and multi-system dynamics ‘hit the ground’ in transdisciplinary experimentation processes, shedding light on the translocal dynamics of experimentation and the role of transdisciplinary R&I in EU food system transformation. This helps us to (2) articulate inherent and political challenges involved in ‘doing transitions’ in practice, most notably regarding (i) balancing here-and-now-project dynamics with long-term transformative ambitions; ...
