“…We drew from a vast collection of academic books, articles, and reports (e.g., Hager & Stefes, 2016; Hostenkamp & Radtke, 2018; Kaiser, Rhomberg, Maireder, & Schlögl, 2016; Mez, 2012; Quitzow et al, 2016; Renn & Marshall, 2016; Wedel, 2016); quantitative energy statistics (e.g., AG Energiebilanzen, 2020); and official documents (e.g., BMWi, 2010; Deutscher Bundestag, 2011; Vattenfall, 2012). The synthesis of this material and the analysis of the case were conducted through a congruence analysis, that is, the case‐based comparison of different theories and their propositions (Blatter & Haverland, 2012).…”

“…Although today, the term “Energiewende” is widely associated with the political project of fundamentally transforming the German energy system following the 2011 Fukushima disaster (e.g., Renn & Marshall 2016; Wedel, 2016), it has in fact been a much longer process, with the origins of the term dating back more than 30 years (Kaiser et al, 2016). Consistent with much of the literature, we refer to the term Energiewende as the replacement of both nuclear energy and fossil fuels with renewable resources (Quitzow et al, 2016).…”

Most efforts at explaining major policy transformation apply a single lens to study specific cases. Recent contributions have called for a more plural use of theories to facilitate the production of valuable new perspectives and research agendas. The German energy transition is a good example of such a transformative change. This article takes up the call for cross‐fertilization of theories, using two complementary lenses to explain the German energy transition: (i) applying the multiple streams framework (MSF) demonstrates how political factors and public opinion have opened a “policy window” for reform from a political dimension. (ii) The multilevel perspective on sustainability transitions (MLP) sheds more light on the importance technological innovation for transformation processes. Exemplified through the German energy transition, we highlight limitations of both lenses, as well as the value of using multiple lenses to analyze specific cases of major policy change. The MSF highlights the role of agency and power relations. The MLP demonstrates how niche‐technologies uproot the incumbent regime. Employing both lenses together offers insights as to how major policy change goes beyond single instances of decision‐making but is the product of a larger trajectory of path‐dependence that emerges from the interplay of socio‐technical and political dynamics.

The research landscape in the area of forecasting and assessing working conditions has become increasingly difficult to understand. There are plenty of identified reasons, drivers and catchwords to describe a systemic transformation. Individual- and subject-specific approaches to describe and understand the changes to work are being developed in almost every scientific discipline, as well as by (economic) associations and actors in the sociopolitical spheres. Despite all complexity and contradictions, ‘digitalization’ seems to be one focal point when it comes to identifying independent variables to explain the ‘future of work’. The corresponding discussions, analyses, recommendations and scenarios can be found under the well-known headings ‘Work 4.0’, ‘Industry 4.0’, ‘Education 4.0’, ‘Society 4.0’, etc. In addition to systemic descriptions, oftentimes dominated by economics and business management approaches, there are changing individual, subject-inherent perceptual understandings indicating a change in social values with regard to work and its function. Ultimately, for the majority of the population and the (welfare) state, work remains the necessary prerequisite for financially securing their livelihoods.
