Can improving relations between science, policy and society get us out of the mess that we are in? That is, in a nutshell, the question this thesis seeks to answer. There is increasingly widespread recognition that we - Earthlings - are in a mess, owing to pressing sustainability issues like climate change and biodiversity loss. The urgency to address these issues has given rise to the notion that major changes are desirable, a notion that is now commonly referred to as 'transformative change'. Moreover, it is frequently suggested that an important role for facilitating such change can be played by what I call 'science-policy arrangements'. With the term science-policy arrangement, I refer to the manifold ways in which relations between science, policy and society can be organized. The ways, in other words, in which expert knowledge plays a role in societal and political decision-making. At the same time, it is far from self-explanatory what such a role means in the context of facilitating transformative change. Nonetheless, I think it is a role worth exploring, because I consider the notion of transformative change to hold a promising potential. In particular, I think that the challenges we face make clear that some kind of major change is now inevitable - major climate disruption will also facilitate transformatively changed societies, though they may not be particularly pleasant or desirable. As a result, I think we need to cultivate our ability to influence what transforms and how, while also accepting that transformative change requires a permanent condition of not-precisely-knowing. To me, this is at stake in calls to repurpose science-policy arrangements, and as such the objective of this thesis is to articulate an effort to repurpose science-policy arrangements for transformative change for sustainability.In Chapter 1 of this thesis, I argue it is not self-evident that science-policy arrangements can make a contribution to transformative change. Moreover, I suggest we should not be overly confident that current attempts to reshape science-policy arrangements is making them sufficiently fit-for-purpose. This leads me to formulate three interrelated research questions. Together, I think these can help to formulate alternatives in which science-policy arrangements are potentially fit to facilitate desirable transformative change: 1. Through what division of roles and responsibilities are science-policy arrangements enacted? With this question I seek a better understanding of the ways in which different actors are involved in science-policy arrangements. By focusing on the division of roles and responsibilities, I aspire to go beyond the contribution of researchers and scientists, to also make visible how actors outside of science might contribute. 2.What does the diversity of actors involved in transformative change mean for how to conceptualize the effectiveness of science-policy arrangements?Both in academic literature and practice there is increasing recognition of what is commonly referred to as a shift from 'government to governance', meaning that addressing sustainability challenges requires action by a wide diversity of actors, not just governments. For science-policy arrangements, this shift means that traditional views in which policymakers base their decisions upon the best available science are no longer tenable. However, if science-policy arrangements are not always central to action, different ways of assessing their effectiveness are required.
