Resumo

Esse estudo teve como objetivo compreender como lógicas institucionais distintas podem afetar o processo de transição para sustentabilidade. Para tanto, foi realizado uma meta-síntese de estudos de casos qualitativos que teve como propósito, trazer contribuições além daquelas alcançadas nos estudos originais. A partir da análise dos casos é possível constatar que a presença de lógicas conflitantes no sistema sociotécnico pode resultar em incoerência nos regimes, ou entre regimes e nichos o que pode ser um obstáculo para as transições sustentáveis. Foi observado que a maneira como lógicas mais sustentáveis conseguiram penetrar no sistema foi por meio de um processo de adaptação de elementos associados a outras lógicas dominantes. O realinhamento dos regimes e a criação e expansão de nichos, fatores que favorecem a transição, só foi possível porque atores chave estiveram envolvidos. O estudo contribui trazendo elementos teóricos que associam a abordagem da transição sociotécnica com a perspectiva das lógicas institucionais, fornecendo novas reflexões e questões relevantes para estudos futuros.
