  • Multi-scalar legitimation dynamics in sectoral reconfigurations – The case of aquaculture in Norway

    Open Access•Sofia Aalbu, Markus Steen et al.•ARTICLE•Geoforum•2026

    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…

  • A framework for assessing the sustainable transition potential of municipal climate change mitigation plans

    Carsten Nico Hjortsø, Brigitte Epprecht et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Environmental Planning…•2025

    Local climate change mitigation plans can be essential in enabling sustainability transitions at the municipality level. However, existing frameworks for assessing the quality of climate plans inadequately address their potential to foster sustainability transitions. We develop an assessment framework consisting of indicators and associated questions by integrating elements of the transition management framework with essential quality dimensions …

  • Capturing context: A sociotechnical feasibility assessment of carbon capture and storage in Norwegian waste incineration

    Open Access•Teis Hansen, Bård Torvetjønn Haugland et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2025•References: 17

    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…

  • Paradoxes and dilemmas in local climate missions

    Roger R Stough, Steffen Korsgaard et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2025•References: 3

    This paper examines local climate missions using paradox theory. We explore how the fundamental paradoxical nature of missions manifests in dilemmas with which mission managers must strategically engage. By studying two local climate missions in Denmark, we identified three dilemmas, their triggers and the mission management’s strategic responses. Importantly, we found that mission resources and place-based leadership are essential in shaping str…

  • A competence set for sustainable urban development: Framing a Research Agenda

    Open Access•Markku Sotarauta, Teis Hansen•ARTICLE•Regional Studies Regional Science•2024•References: 3

    The primary purpose of this paper is to call for more research on the competencies needed to promote sustainable urban development. Our premise is that sustainable urban development does not occur without transcending differing interests and identifying novel ways to collaborate across organisational and institutional boundaries. Relatedly, sustainable urban development calls for mobilisation and pooling of scattered assets. Therefore, sustainabl…

    Multi-system interactions are receiving increasing attention within transition research. However, understanding the consequences of increasing couplings between adjacent systems for transitions requires further research. In response, this paper applies the concept of institutional work to understand the role of actors creating institutional couplings for the reconfiguration of multiple systems. We further elaborate on enabling conditions for inst…

  • IMO off course for decarbonisation of shipping? Three challenges for stricter policy

    Open Access•Hanna Bach, Teis Hansen•ARTICLE•Marine Policy•2023

    The maritime shipping industry is responsible for around 3 % of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and is now under pressure to decarbonise. Until now, the shipping industry’s main regulator, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), has failed to implement sufficient policy instruments to support the emission reduction targets set in its Initial GHG Strategy introduced in 2018, and the implemented policy mix lacks consistency and compre…

  • Can foundational economy save regions in crisis

    Open Access•Mikhail Martynovich, Teis Hansen et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Geography•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 9

    We perform, to our best knowledge, the first systematic mapping of the foundational economy (FE) at the sub-national level by looking at the FE employment in Swedish regions between 2007 and 2016. We show that the FE itself not only suffered less than traded activities from employment decline during the Great Recession of 2007–2009 but was also a domain of substantial job creation in the post-crisis recovery. At the same time, regions with higher…

  • Axes of contestation in sustainability transitions

    Open Access•Stine Madsen, Johan Miorner et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Innovation and…•2022•Cited by: 10•References: 45

    Research in sustainability transitions increasingly acknowledges that the structural characteristics of socio-technical systems differ. However, little attention has been paid to the specific transition dynamics that can result from this structural variation. In response, this paper develops a framework for studying transition dynamics that takes the structural characteristics of socio-technical systems and their influence on agency into account.…

  • Understanding conditions for path development after path exhaustion

    Open Access•Antje Klitkou, Marco Capasso et al.•ARTICLE•European Planning Studies•2021

    This paper focuses on path development processes after a sudden path exhaustion. We analyse the decline, the closure and the attempts at the re-orientation of a forestry-based industry agglomeration in Southern Norway, located around the municipality of Hønefoss. In particular, this paper focuses on the Treklyngen holding company in Hønefoss. This paper explores how policy may be influenced by and built upon regional capabilities to support new p…

    Due to a spatial turn in the socio-technical transition literature, the geography of energy transitions has recently been taken increasingly seriously, leading to burgeoning research output on regional energy transitions since early 2010. Amidst this wealth of publications, however, it can be difficult to keep track of its diverse and constantly evolving landscape. This editorial therefore aims at developing a framework that allows for bringing m…

  • The foundational economy and regional development

    Teis Hansen•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2021•Cited by: 20•References: 13

    The foundational economy approach to economic development suggests that the production of goods and services that are critical to human welfare (e.g., water, energy, education and elderly care) should be the central concern for policymaking. This paper examines whether this approach could address three core challenges for regional development: social polarization, interregional inequality and environmental sustainability. It concludes that the fo…

    The current European policy agenda strongly accentuates the importance of research and development (R&D) as a driver of economic growth. The basic assumption is that high European wage levels make it unlikely that less research-intensive parts of the economy can withstand competition from low-wage countries with increasingly skilled labour forces. Thus, the inferior growth of the European Union (EU) in the 1990s compared with the USA has been exp…

An analysis of two cases of collaborations between headquarters and subsidiaries …

  • Green growth – A synthesis of scientific findings

    Open Access•Marco Capasso, Teis Hansen et al.•ARTICLE•Technological Forecasting and…•2019

    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…

  • Green industry development in different types of regions

    Open Access•Markus Grillitsch, Teis Hansen•ARTICLE•European Planning Studies•2019

    At the regional level, the imperative of sustainable development often manifests itself in an emphasis on developing green industries. However, regions vary in their preconditions for achieving this. In this paper we link regional preconditions to various pathways for green industry development. This provides the foundation for identifying place-based policy implications for growing green industries in different types of regions, grounded in the …

  • Local development through the foundational economy? Priority-setting in Danish municipalities

    Open Access•Birgitte Nygaard, Teis Hansen•ARTICLE•Local Economy The Journal of the…•2020

    The foundational economy perspective suggests that industries, which provide services essential to all citizens’ well-being and participation in everyday life, should be placed centrally in economic development policy. This article studies the extent to which local governments put emphasis on foundational industries in their strategies for development. Moreover, drivers behind priority-setting are examined. Based on an analysis of all 98 Danish m…

  • The many roles of change agency in the game of green path development in the North

    Open Access•Markku Sotarauta, Nina Suvinen et al.•ARTICLE•European Urban and Regional Studies•2020•Cited by: 15•References: 14

    The rapidly expanding stream of path development studies recognises that translating observations from past paths to conscious path creation requires conceptually linking agency to path development frameworks. Actors frame issues about and for the future, coordinate their actions in the present and make sense of what may have transpired in the past. The main objective of the paper is to explore the roles that actors play in green path development…

  • Agency and actors in regional industrial path development. A framework and longitudinal analysis

    Open Access•Suyash Jolly, Markus Grillitsch et al.•ARTICLE•Geoforum•2020•Cited by: 69•References: 8

    Despite significant interest in regional industrial restructuring in economic geography, surprisingly, scarce attention has been paid to the changing role of agency over time. The current paper develops a framework for understanding the role of multiple types of actors and the agency they exercise for regional industrial path development. The framework is employed in a longitudinal study of industry development in Värmland, Sweden, from forestry …

  • Understanding conditions for path development after path exhaustion

    Open Access•Antje Klitkou, Marco Capasso et al.•ARTICLE•European Planning Studies•2021

    This paper focuses on path development processes after a sudden path exhaustion. We analyse the decline, the closure and the attempts at the re-orientation of a forestry-based industry agglomeration in Southern Norway, located around the municipality of Hønefoss. In particular, this paper focuses on the Treklyngen holding company in Hønefoss. This paper explores how policy may be influenced by and built upon regional capabilities to support new p…

  • Blending new and old in sustainability transitions: Technological alignment between fossil fuels and biofuels in Norwegian coastal shipping

    Open Access•Hanna Bach, Tuukka Mäkitie et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2021•Cited by: 8•References: 15

    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.…

  • Regional foundations of energy transitions

    Open Access•Lars Coenen, Teis Hansen et al.•ARTICLE•Cambridge Journal of Regions…•2021•Cited by: 18•References: 36

    Due to a spatial turn in the socio-technical transition literature, the geography of energy transitions has recently been taken increasingly seriously, leading to burgeoning research output on regional energy transitions since early 2010. Amidst this wealth of publications, however, it can be difficult to keep track of its diverse and constantly evolving landscape. This editorial therefore aims at developing a framework that allows for bringing m…

  • The foundational economy and regional development

    Teis Hansen•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2021•Cited by: 20•References: 13

    The foundational economy approach to economic development suggests that the production of goods and services that are critical to human welfare (e.g., water, energy, education and elderly care) should be the central concern for policymaking. This paper examines whether this approach could address three core challenges for regional development: social polarization, interregional inequality and environmental sustainability. It concludes that the fo…
