Abstract

ABSTRACT Regional restructuring in the context of societal dynamics involves the development of several, possibly interacting regional industrial paths. Conceptualizations in evolutionary economic geography and innovation studies analyze the effects of relating regional industrial paths in the same regional or national context. While policy makers at EU, national and regional scales support research and development of transformative activities in different regions across countries, scholarly contributions on interpath relations across regions and the role of regional preconditions to enable paths in shaping them are scarce. This article combines recent conceptualizations of interpath relations within regions with considerations about the multi-scalarity of asset availability and modification to conceptualize interpath relations across regions. A framework is developed to explain how reinforcing or impeding effects of interpath relations across regions are related to regional preconditions. Empirically, transformative food sector innovations initiated to tackle societal challenges are investigated as an under-researched topic in the path development literature. Two case studies in a peripheral and a core region provide exemplified results about regional differences in supporting asset modification at multiple scales and demonstrate reinforcing or impeding effects for path development resulting from interpath relations across regions. The article offers policy recommendations and presents avenues for further research.

区域先决条件形成跨区域的相互关系:来自奥地利食品部门的两个案例

在社会动态背景下的区域重组涉及到几个可能相互作用的区域产业路径的发展。演化经济地理学和创新研究中的概念分析了在同一区域或国家背景下相关区域产业路径的影响。虽然欧盟、国家和地区层面的政策制定者支持各国不同地区变革活动的研究和发展，但关于区域间关系以及区域先决条件在形成路径中的作用的学术贡献很少。本文结合了最近对区域内路径间关系的概念化，考虑了资产可用性的多尺度性，并修改了跨区域的路径间关系概念化。建立了一个框架来解释区域间关系的加强或阻碍效应如何与区域先决条件相关。从经验上看，为应对社会挑战而发起的变革性食品部门创新在路径发展文献中被视为一个研究不足的主题。在外围地区和核心地区进行的两个案例研究提供了例证性的结果，说明了在多个尺度上支持资产修改的区域差异，并展示了区域间关系对路径发展的加强或阻碍效应。本文提出了政策建议，并提出了进一步研究的途径。

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.
