With a growing interest in large-scale societal transformation toward sustainability, the field of sustainability transitions research has emerged in the past two decades. However, much of these academic studies focus on the European or American stories, less attention has been paid to the ongoing change in the developing countries, such as China.
Therefore, I want to find some good case studies of sustainability transitions, especially in the context of developing countries. I hope that these case studies can show the basic frameworks, steps or logics to analyze a complex case, which are very useful for both my students and myself.
Thanks.
Is this of any help:

Thank you, Mary C R Wilson . I also have found a review paper by Anna J. Wieczorek.
Wieczorek AJ (2018) Sustainability transitions in developing countries: Major insights and their implications for research and policy. Environmental Science & Policy 84:204–216. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2017.08.008
I hope that more papers on this topic can be recommended. More importantly, we can have a discussion about how to extract useful frameworks from these articles and apply them to our own case studies.
Thanks.

Dear Yimin Mao , there is quite recent and helpful special issue in EIST. Here's the editorial: Ely, A., Geall, S., & Dai, Y. (2019).
