ABSTRACT
The current chapter examines the notion of change and transformation where it is put as a norm and stability is, instead, the exception. The chapter observes change and transformation in its diverse trajectories within a space of possibility which emerges from the encounter of the properties, capacities, and desires characterising an assemblage. This helps clarify what unpredictability means in the sense that, while it is impossible to fully predict change, some level of anticipation is still possible as an assemblage does not follow randomly in any trajectory. The chapter therefore discusses the notion of attractor which guides change and the evolution of the assemblage in interplay with desires. Multiple attractors generally influence the course of change, forming a basin of attraction. The cases thus show that by identifying these attractors, we may be able to partly anticipate the transformation pathway an agri-environmental governance assemblage will follow in the future.
