Where and how new industrial paths emerge are much debated questions in economic geography, especially light of the recent evolutionary turn. This article contributes to ongoing debate on path creation with a analytical framework that specifies formation generic resources embryonic industries. It suggests processes not only conditioned by preexisting regional capabilities technological relatedness but also way firm nonfirm actors mobilize anchor key for industry formation. Our elaborates...
Water resource managers often tout the potential of potable water reuse to provide a reliable, local source drinking in water-scarce regions. Despite data documenting ability advanced treatment technologies treat municipal wastewater effluent meet existing quality standards, many utilities face skepticism from public about reuse. Prior research on this topic has mainly focused marketing strategies for garnering acceptance process. This study takes broader perspective adoption based concepts...
Recent developments in high- and middle-income countries have exhibited a shift from conventional urban water systems to alternative solutions that are more diverse source separation, decentralization, modularization. These include nongrid, small-grid, hybrid address such pressing global challenges as climate change, eutrophication, rapid urbanization. They close loops, recover valuable resources, adapt quickly changing boundary conditions population size. Moving requires both technical...
Classic accounts of transitions research have predominantly built on reconstructions historical transition processes and in-depth case studies to identify conceptualize socio-technical change. While such approaches substantively improved our understanding transitions, they often suffer from methodological nationalism a lack generalizability beyond spatial sectoral boundaries. To address this gap, we propose novel methodology – configuration analysis (STCA) map measure alignment across time...
Economic geographers have studied emerging industries in regions from various perspectives, such as life cycle, evolutionary economic geography and systemic approaches. However, so far they insufficiently conceptualized the effects of institutional structures on new industry emergence. This special issue ‘Emerging Industries: Institutions, Legitimacy System Building’ therefore shows recent work that seeks to advance analysis by drawing The present introductory article identifies key...
This commentary provides a short review of the history and current state transition studies, explores how deepened exchange with economic geographers could be fostered at geography sustainability transitions interface along three fronts. First, we argue that combined transitions–economic perspective allows elucidating coevolution technologies, institutions, actor networks creates multiscalar spatially uneven opportunity spaces for transformative change. Second, it deeper process-based...
This paper contributes to the geography of transitions literature by conceptualizing transition trajectories from a multi-scalar perspective. It combines an institutional perspective with conceptions scale human derive framework which explicates how (de-)institutionalization and re-scaling mechanisms condition different trajectories. Our conceptual elaborations show that traditional local-global niche cumulation upscaling trajectory can be complemented two alternative build on analytically...
Research in economic geography has recently been challenged to adopt more institutional and multiscalar perspectives on industrial path development. This article contributes this debate by integrating insights from (evolutionary) as well transition innovation studies into a conceptual framework of how creation emerging industries depends the availability both knowledge legitimacy. Unlike extant literature, we argue here that not only former but also latter may substantially depend nonlocal...
As climate change and rapid urbanization stress our aging water infrastructure, cities are under increasing pressure to develop more flexible, resilient, modular management systems. In response, onsite reuse practices have been adopted by several globally. addition technological innovation, these novel treatment systems also require new stakeholder collaborations, relationships, processes support them. There are, however, few models for arrangements that encourage the adoption success of...
Research on the geography of innovation (GeoInno) has become a well-established scientific field, including heterogeneous but complementary theoretical approaches. We reflect upon its evolution in light an emerging "normative" turn and regional policy, which is challenging established approaches providing opportunities for developing new ones. In this discussion paper, we explore how imminent normative impacts three foundational notions field: innovation, institutions, well-being, then...
ABSTRACTWhile economic geography has contributed deep insights into the knowledge-related determinants of industry emergence, less is known about legitimacy that people confer to new industries. Based on a comparative case study in potable water reuse (California, United States) and video games (Hamburg, Germany), this article explores legitimation dynamics regional industrial path development. We elaborate how system-building/reconfiguration institutional work processes differ between...
Scientists are increasingly exploring on-site water systems to supplement conventional centralized and wastewater infrastructure. While major technological advancements have been achieved, we still lack a systematic view on the non-technical, or institutional, elements that constitute important barriers uptake of urban management systems. This paper presents conceptual framework distinguishing between institutional in six key dimensions: Equity, Knowledge Capabilities, Financial Investment,...
