Multi-scalar legitimation dynamics in sectoral reconfigurations – The case of aquaculture in Norway
Climate change and ecosystem decline make rapid sustainability transitions imperative, yet many sectors remain on incremental paths. This paper examines how multi-scalar legitimation dynamics help explain this inertia in the Norwegian salmon aquaculture sector. Combining a geography of sustainability transitions perspective with socio-technical configuration analysis and expert interviews, we analyse the (de-)legitimation dynamics around four com…
Labour market competences for sustainability transitions
Addresses labour market competences in sustainability transitions research. • Uses a comprehensive dataset from Norway, including 65 interviews and large survey. • Three categories of green competences emerge across industries. • Finds that understanding of green competences depends on perspective on transitions. • Findings have implications for labour market stakeholders and policy. The role of labour and competences has received limited attenti…
Incorporating insights from global production network and value chain research into the sustainability transitions field
State-orchestrated green path development? Industrial decarbonisation in Teesside and the Humber
The challenge of industrial decarbonisation is compounded in localities and regions where carbon-based path dependency coheres multiple sectors and path dynamics. Framed within a Geographical Political Economies (GPE) perspective of new energy spaces, this paper develops an enriched green path development framework to explore opportunities for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) solutions within two of the UK's most carbon-intensive industrial regio…
Capturing context
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is central to decarbonisation of the waste-to-energy industry. We complement existing lifecycle assessments and techno-economic analyses of CCS in waste-to-energy with a socio-technical perspective that emphasises interrelations between technologies, practices, institutions, and infrastructures in supporting (or not) development and diffusion of novel solutions such as CCS. More specifically, we assess the feasibi…
Conceptualizing the relationship between industrial transformation and accelerating sustainability transitions
The acceleration of sustainability transitions increasingly hinges on industrial transformation, i.e., structural changes in the sectors that produce, use, and support low-carbon technologies. Such changes shape the pace and direction of transitions by affecting the availability of critical inputs—from manufacturing capacity to materials for batteries, transformers, or solar PV—and by creating new opportunities for industrial value creation. Yet …
Developing the industrial capacity for energy transitions
Collaboration or competition? Interactions between floating and fixed-bottom offshore wind in Norway
Scalar orientation of policies and technology legitimacy
The role of state agency in path development
The role of the state remains underdeveloped in the regional path development literature. This paper analyses how the Norwegian state via different roles (regulator, purchaser, owner, facilitator) directly and indirectly has enabled and influenced path development in two defence-related high-tech manufacturing regions in Norway since the end of the Second World War, notably by contributing to the modification of localised assets and the strategic…
Complexity challenges for transition policy
The role of regional innovation systems in mission-oriented innovation policy
The innovation literature increasingly addresses grand challenges and transformative change. However, the issue of to what extent transformative change can build upon the resources, actors and institutions of existing innovation systems has not received sufficient attention. Against this background this paper aims to advance our understanding of the geographies and continuities of transformative change, by exploring the role of regional innovatio…
Global production networks and regional innovation systems
This paper contributes to the recent debate between two important streams within current economic geography and regional studies: global value chains/global production networks theories, and regional innovation system theory. Based on the review of key literature, the authors first identify the key conceptual differences between these two streams and then provide a comparative overview of their policy implications. Thereafter, the authors show th…
Blending new and old in sustainability transitions
Facing increasing pressure to decarbonize, innovation within the shipping sector has turned to low-and zero carbon solutions. In this paper we investigate how the development and implementation of biodiesel and liquefied biogas (LBG) in Norwegian coastal shipping has been influenced by the technological alignment with fossil fuels. We understand this influence to emanate from the (mis)match of biofuels with the structure of coastal shipping (e.g.…
Legitimation, institutions and regional path creation
This paper assesses legitimation as a crucial dimension of industry emergence, addressing the neglect of institutional and political aspects of path creation in economic geography. It investigates how the legitimacy of emerging industries is built up over time and examines differences in legitimation across space. The paper focuses on the evolution of legitimation narratives in the context of national and regional differences in institutions, act…
Towards sustainability in the port sector
Relies on survey data to explore intermediation and transition work in Norwegian ports. • Transition work contains both processual and outcome dimensions. • Intermediation emerges through relations with surroundings and port owners. • Intermediation is associated with more progressive transition work. • Quantitative approaches allow testing the empirical applicability of theoretical constructs. Intermediation has received substantial attention fr…
Make at home or abroad? Manufacturing reshoring through a GPN lens
The explorative paper investigates the drivers for the emerging trend of manufacturing reshoring from low- to high-cost locations. To date research on the reshoring phenomenon has been dominated by micro-level analyses of firms in supply chain management and reported in international business literature. The paper introduces reshoring as a research topic to the economic geography research field, arguing that it connects with the broader topic of …
The role of inter-sectoral dynamics in sustainability transitions
Green growth – A synthesis of scientific findings
Governments in countries across the world increasingly adopt the “green growth” discourse to underline their ambition for the greening of their economies. The central tenet of this narrative is the economic opportunities rather than challenges arising from the pursuit of environmental sustainability. Our paper synthesises insights from 113 recent scientific articles, dealing with both environmental issues and economic growth, as well as innovatio…
Path creation, global production networks and regional development
Barriers to Path Creation
Although economic geography has made considerable progress in explaining the emergence of new industrial development paths, a number of issues have yet to be sufficiently explored. The purpose of this article is to contribute to economic geography research on path creation by developing a conceptual framework that specifies key conditions and reinforcing mechanisms for path creation, on the one hand, and barriers to the materialization of such co…
Incumbents’ diversification and cross-sectorial energy industry dynamics
Reconsidering path creation in economic geography
The emergence of new industrial development paths is an important topic in economic geography. However, current perspectives emphasizing the constraining forces of historical trajectories on innovation and change have shortcomings in accounting for how and where new industries arise. This article argues that more attention needs to be paid to agency, and that agency must be seen as inter-temporal in the sense that actors’ activities and strategie…
