Beyond path dependence: A methodological review for studying regional futures
Regional development faces mounting challenges, including persistent inequalities, climate change and social fragmentation, that render regional futures increasingly complex and contested. Traditional approaches grounded in path dependence and structural analysis often overlook the role of imagination, agency and contested visions in shaping future trajectories, leaving a critical gap: the absence of forward-looking, inclusive and methodologicall…
A tale of three territories: Examining the use of reflexive storyline visual tools within a new regional transition methodology for developing regional digitalisation strategies
Digitalisation is often seen as a ‘panacea for all ills’ and a key enabler of sustainable regional development. However, history shows that digitalisation often falters due to inadequate governance and implementation. The complexity of contemporary society presents multi-layered challenges, especially given the high expectations surrounding Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as Big Data and Internet of Things. Success requires careful…
The ongoing green industry shift in Helgeland: Historical developments and future-oriented green regional industry scenarios
The article’s objective is to contribute to the literature on green in peripheral regions by developing an analytical perspective that integrates the historical regional industry path development process with the creation of alternative regional industry futures. The article emphasizes the role of intertemporal change agency that allows the actors to engage in deliberation regarding appropriate moments, being prepared and waiting for the right ti…
Industry legitimacy: Bright and dark phases in regional industry path development
The paper contributes to debates on dark phases of regional industry path development processes. We focus on the role of industry legitimacy and study legitimacy spillovers from contextual structures in the case of the biogas industry in Scania, Sweden. Previously presented as a success case, we show how legitimacy spillovers from various contextual structures influenced the path development process, in both the emergence and acceleration phases,…
Common-pool resources and governance in sustainability transitions
What's underneath? Social skills throughout sustainability transitions
This paper focuses on the critical role of institutional entrepreneurs' social skills in enabling transformative change as described by the Multi-Level Perspective. Understanding the role of social skills is crucial for developing a micro-foundational view of sustainability transitions. We develop an analytical framework using a multiple case study on Swiss cantonal planners who acted as institutional entrepreneurs during comparable sustainabilit…
The many roles of change agency in the game of green path development in the North
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
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 …
Unpacking sustainabilities in diverse transition contexts: Solar photovoltaic and urban mobility experiments in India and Thailand
It is generally accepted that the concept of sustainability is not straightforward, but is subject to ongoing ambiguities, uncertainties and contestations. Yet literature on sustainability transitions has so far only engaged in limited ways with the resulting tough questions around what sustainability means, to whom and in which contexts. This paper makes a contribution to this debate by unpacking sustainability in India and Thailand in the conte…
Institutional entrepreneurship in transforming energy systems towards sustainability: Wind energy in Finland and India
A growing body of literature has examined the dynamics of wind energy development across different mature and emerging institutional contexts. However, so far only few have paused to reflect on the differences between developed and emerging economies. Building upon the literature on institutional entrepreneurship, this paper compares institutional strategies in wind energy development in Finland and India by using the typology of political, techn…
Upscaling of business model experiments in off-grid PV solar energy in India
Rapidly developing countries like India face numerous challenges related to social and environmental sustainability, which are associated with their fast economic growth and rising energy demand, climate change, and widening disparities between the rich and the poor. Recently, a number of claims have been made in the literature that the prospects of alternative development pathways in emerging economies in Asia are becoming more likely, and that …
