Dr. Martijn Duineveld

Martijn Duineveld serves as Associate Professor at Wageningen University's Cultural Geography Group, where he has established himself as a leading voice in governance theory and environmental policy. As co-founder of Evolutionary Governance Theory and former co-director of the Centre for Space, Place and Society (2019-2022), his research examines the complex relationships between governance, environmental transitions, and power dynamics. His current work focuses on the WOLF project, investigating how industrial interests impact climate justice and low-emission transitions. His academic contributions span multiple continents, including research projects in Argentina, Uganda, Georgia, and Russia, as well as extensive studies of urban development in the Netherlands. His innovative approach to academic communication includes various media forms, from traditional academic publications to films and news blogs. His seminal work "Evolutionary Governance Theory: An Introduction" has helped shape understanding of governance evolution and policy experimentation, while his recent research explores material dependencies in sustainability transitions and the reconceptualization of political landscapes. Through his teaching and research at Wageningen University, he continues to bridge theoretical frameworks with practical applications in urban planning, environmental policy, and climate justice.
