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

Jolly, Suyash LU ; Grillitsch, Markus LU orcid and Hansen, Teis LU orcid (2020) In Geoforum 111(May 2020). p.176-188
Abstract

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 towards a bio-economy. The analysis highlights how actors exercise very different types of agency in different periods of regional industrial path development.
