Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper discusses how narratives influence the legitimation of new industries in peripheral regions. We contribute to the literature a discussion of the emergence of green industries in peripheral regions, but particularly to the emerging debate in evolutionary economic geography on the role of legitimation in the emergence of new industries. Based on an empirical investigation of narratives regarding onshore wind in the Finnmark region in northernmost Norway, we caution against the focus in the literature on ‘successful’ legitimation, arguing that to better comprehend how new green industries emerge in regions there is a need also to understand delegitimation of new industrial activities and to investigate unsuccessful path creation processes, not only paths that have come into being and where legitimation has been ‘achieved’. Following from this we argue that our study on how representations (i.e., narratives) of emerging paths are linked to observable outcomes (e.g., delegitimation) teases out the need for further investigation of power relations, a topic that has received very little interest in research on regional industrial path development.
周边地区新产业的出现:北极芬兰地区陆上风电合法化叙事的作用
本文讨论了叙事如何影响周边地区新产业的合法化。我们对文献中关于外围地区绿色产业出现的讨论做出了贡献,但特别是对进化经济地理学中关于合法化在新产业出现中的作用的新兴辩论做出了贡献。基于对挪威最北部芬马克地区陆上风电叙事的实证调查,我们警告不要将文献中的重点放在“成功”的合法化上,认为,为了更好地理解新的绿色产业是如何在地区出现的,还需要了解新的工业活动的非法性,并调查不成功的路径创建过程,而不仅仅是已经形成的路径和合法性在哪里“实现”。在此之后,我们认为,我们对新兴路径的表征(即叙事)如何与可观察的结果(例如,剥夺合法性)联系起来的研究,引出了对权力关系进行进一步调查的必要性,而这一主题在区域产业路径发展研究中几乎没有受到关注。
