Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper deals with the role that demand can play in regional industrial transformation, focusing on new industry formation in peripheral regions. As we argue in this paper, demand can be an important driver for industrial transformation, yet often underscored in the literature on regional development. Demand includes aspects related to general consumption patterns, to co-development between users and producers, to public procurement, or to norms and values among consumers. Theory building departs from accounts on new path development, were peripheral regions are typically seen as providing unfavourable conditions for industrial transformation, due to a weak organizational and institutional endowment. The empirical analysis focusses on two cases of new regional industrial path development in Värmland, a peripheral region in Sweden, namely locally processed dairy products, as well as microbreweries. The analysis is based on in interviews with regional entrepreneurs and industry stakeholders. We highlight the multiple roles that demand has played in the renewal and creation these two new regional industrial growth paths in the Swedish periphery.

需求在区域产业路径发展中的作用——以瑞典周边地区为例

摘要本文研究了需求在区域产业转型中的作用，重点研究了周边地区新产业的形成。正如我们在本文中所说，需求可能是产业转型的重要驱动力，但在关于区域发展的文献中经常强调这一点。需求包括与一般消费模式、用户和生产者之间的共同发展、公共采购或消费者之间的规范和价值观有关的方面。理论建设偏离了对新路径发展的描述，因为外围地区通常被视为由于组织和制度禀赋薄弱而为产业转型提供了不利条件。实证分析重点关注瑞典周边地区Värmland的两个新的区域产业路径发展案例，即本地加工乳制品和微型酿酒厂。该分析基于对地区企业家和行业利益相关者的采访。我们强调了需求在瑞典周边地区这两条新的区域工业增长道路的更新和创造中发挥的多重作用。

期刊介绍： European Planning Studies provides a forum for ideas and information about spatial development processes and policies in Europe. The journal publishes articles of a theoretical, empirical and policy-relevant nature and is particularly concerned to integrate knowledge of processes with practical policy proposals, implementation and evaluation. Articles of particular interest to the journal focus upon specific spatial development problems, as well as emerging explanations of new urban, regional, national or supranational developmental tendencies. Country-specific, region-specific or locality-specific issues are focused upon, although comparative analysis is of especial value.
