The quest for Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has experienced a remarkable upsurge during the past few years. While the debate on RRI, as it is primarily labelled at the EU level, is far from being completed and stabilised, the demand for concrete conceptual approaches and instruments, which can contribute to the aim of making research and innovation more "responsible", has increased significantly (Lindner/Kuhlmann 2016, p. 22). To this end, an impressive number of research projects and coordination activities have been initiated during the recent past. In this broader context of projects funded by the EU, the Res-AGorA project had the objective to develop a comprehensive governance framework for RRI (EC 2011b, p. 7f.). ; The quest for Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has experienced a remarkable upsurge during the past few years.

Dieser Beitrag untersucht die komplexe, fragmentierte Konfiguration in der Governance von W&I-Politik im föderalen System Deutschlands. Er analysiert den aus der Fragmentierung entstehenden Koordinationsbedarf und bestehende Koordinationsmuster, und er diskutiert Versuche, Konfigurationen zu vereinfachen und Koordination zu verbessern.

Politik soll durch Innovationen in Wirtschaft und Technik, im Sozialbereich, im Umweltschutz oder im Bildungsbereich die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung positiv fördern. Welche Unterstützung bietet die Politikwissenschaft? Stellt sie gesicherte Theorien über Innovationsmöglichkeiten oder zumindest gute Ratschläge zu Verfügung? Letzteres geschieht in sehr unterschiedlicher Form. Gesichertes Wissen, systematisch aufbereitet, gibt es bislang wenig. Innovationspolitik muß erst noch ein - interdisziplinär arbeitendes Fach - der Politikwissenschaft werden. Ein Kreis renommierter in- und ausländischer Wissenschaftler behandelt die Thematik unter dem übergreifenden Thema Globalisierung und politische Handlungsspielräume

This paper aims at a better understanding of the governance of the abandonment of socio-technical regimes through the example of the incandescent light bulb phase-out in the European Union and in the Netherlands as one specific case where the EU discontinuation policy has been implemented. In particular, with this paper we focus on the active and intended discontinuation of a socio-technical regime through dedicated governance. Methods: We approached the phase-out of the incandescent light bulb from a qualitative perspective and analysed about 230 documents from the EU and Dutch level. The study has an explorative character, for we cannot claim to describe the entire policy process, but bring to surface some key issues in order to outline both governance foci and technicalities of governing the phase-out. We looked into how governance makers were actually structuring the ILB phase-out as a governance task. The specific framings we found were grouped into the (a) spectrum of governance dimensions, (b) the more detailed problem-types raised, and (c) the array of discontinuation issues addressed in policy discourse dedicated to negotiating, drafting and implementing the phase-out measures. Results: A set of frames apparent in the discontinuation discourses in the EU and the Netherlands has been reconstructed, which entails the five governance dimensions 'policy instruments', 'implementation', 'strictness', 'monitoring', and 'policy level'. Technical details of both the socio-technical products to be banned and the replacing products have been the subject of meticulous negotiations in order to be able to implement the big picture, the lightbulb ban, appropriately and appropriately for both industry and environmental associations. The design of discontinuation governance at national and EU level are closely intertwined, but not identical in all aspects. The complexity of the governance task is therefore high. Conclusions: Discontinuation has to cope with some resistance to dedicated, forced change that takes place in a technically as well as socially highly complex context. Governing the phase-out of a technical device, a production infrastructure, and industry support policy once supposed to support the EU and Dutch ILB industry was a major techno-political challenge, where policymakers needed to grasp key technical and technological problems. These were related to ILBs as objects, to subjects such as engineers and scientists, lobbyists and disinterested experts, to civil society organisations and mass media, along with all sorts of political and administrative issues and discourses. The challenges are threefold: first, translating for each other what cannot be known from one's own background, second, shutting down governance which so far fostered lighting industry and, third, helping to change parts of this industry from an old, incumbent one to a new, emerging socio-technical regime with a regime providing a political and regulatory framework for it.
