Democratizing Transformative Innovation Policy: a proposal from Just Transition approach

The objective of this research is to analyze, from the perspective of Just Transitions, the case study of the new governance model developed by the Generalitat de Catalunya "Shared Agendas" in the province of Lleida. Through the methodological proposal of the Regional Pathways to Sustainability, it is intended to capture complex institutional dynamics in regions through actors, networks and events in space-time and, subsequently, from the Just Transitions approach, carry out an analysis from the four models of justice: procedural, distributive, recognition and restorative. The methodology used is qualitative through documentary analysis, semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The study will be developed over three years, structured in strategic stages that include the review of the literature, fieldwork in the province of Lleida, the analysis of results and the main conclusions. The ultimate goal of this research is to contribute to rethinking how transitions towards social and environmental sustainability are generated through key elements and actors, such as governance and public administrations.
