Abstract

Bu çalışma, Schumpeter’in yaratıcı yıkım teorisi çerçevesinde sürdürülebilirlik dönüşümlerinin ekonomik uygulanabilirliğinin kurumsal ve politik düzenlemeler tarafından nasıl şekillendirildiğini incelemektedir. İki ulusal stratejinin karşılaştırmalı vaka analizi yapılan çalışmada, Norveç’in talep odaklı elektrikli araçlara geçiş süreci ile Çin’in arz odaklı güneş enerjisi üretim stratejisi ele alınmıştır. Bulgulara göre; Norveç sürdürülebilirlik ve ekonomik uygulanabilirliği, tüketici teşvikleri ve uzun vadeli politika istikrarı ile sağlarken, Çin; endüstriyel koordinasyon, ölçek büyümesi ve maliyet düşüşleri ile gerçekleştirmiştir. Çalışma, iki ülkede uygulanan yöntemlerin farklı olmasına rağmen, teknolojik dönüşüm ve rekabetçiliğin kendiliğinden gelişmediğini, tutarlı ve uzun vadeli politika tercihleriyle şekillendiğini göstermektedir.

Sustainability Transitions and Economic Viability: Comparative Insights From Norway and China

https://izlik.org/JA38LZ69PG

Abstract

Utilizing the creative destruction framework, this study examines how the economic viability of sustainability transitions evolves across different institutional contexts. Using both qualitative and quantitative data, the study compares two policy architectures: Norway’s demand-driven shift to battery-electric vehicles and China’s supply-focused growth in solar photovoltaic manufacturing. The results show that an institutional design in which regulatory, infrastructural, and fiscal measures interact, combined with consistent policies that earn the public’s and markets’ trust, makes sustainable technologies scalable. Therefore, market maturity and cost reductions are a result of these measures, rather than spontaneous competition – especially in the initial phases of transition.
