Abstract

We employ field theory as an approach to analysing sustainable regional development by reconciling funding needs and funding procurement. Initial expectations that private capital would bridge the financial gap to decarbonize our economies and societies have not materialized. Instead, state‐led coalitions increasingly introduce spatialized decarbonization strategies in which public development banks are pivotal, yet underappreciated, actors. Field theory provides a fresh perspective for mapping the particular context in which regional industrial policies intersect with broader national and supra‐national investment programmes and funding needs for these long‐term initiatives. Transitions are typically directed but open‐ended social processes, necessitating agency to both alter context and institutions and stabilize the emerging new structures. Field theory can surpass limitations in approaches like transition studies and integrate change mechanisms across scales.
创造低碳经济:通过场论的视角探索转型动力
我们采用实地理论作为分析可持续区域发展的方法,协调资金需求和资金采购。人们最初期望私人资本能够弥补资金缺口,实现经济和社会的去碳化,但这一期望并未实现。相反,以国家为主导的联盟越来越多地引入空间化去碳化战略,而公共开发银行在其中发挥着关键作用,但却未得到充分重视。实地理论提供了一个崭新的视角,可用于描绘区域产业政策与更广泛的国家和超国家投资计划以及这些长期举措的资金需求相交织的特定背景。转型通常是有方向但无止境的社会进程,需要有机构来改变环境和机构,并稳定新出现的结构。实地理论可以超越过渡研究等方法的局限性,整合各种规模的变革机制。
