In this paper, we present the Integrated Policy Package Assessment (IPPA) approach
and relate IPPA to three substantial concepts of problem-oriented research concerned with societal
transformations: technology assessment (TA), sustainability research (SR), and responsible research
and innovation (RRI). The IPPA approach provides (political) decision-makers with transformation
and orientation knowledge via a four-step process of (1) design, (2) analysis, (3) evaluation,
and (4) discourse of a policy package assessment. It is illustrated with a case study of urban
passenger transport. As an integrated approach, IPPA has substantial ties to TA, SR, and RRI. It
connects with TA in fundamental ways, since it combines the field of TA with the field of regulatory
assessment based on consequence analysis. Connectable to the field of SR, IPPA addresses
deliberation processes and sustainable pathway identification based on multi-criteria assessment.
In addition, akin to the area of RRI, IPPA shows cross-cutting axes with regards to social resonance
assessment and stakeholder evaluation with a focus on multi-actor responsibilities. In this contribution,
we link evidence-based impact assessment with transformation pathway mechanisms
and corresponding policy packages, backed by stakeholder-based responsible innovation feedback
loops. This enhances the ex-ante analysis of policy packages regarding their intended as well as
unintended consequences.... view less
