This book investigates the mechanisms that may stimulate or hamper
the renewal of the regional industry structure. Recent years have
witnessed a strong interest in, and need for, the modernization and
upgrading of existing industries and the introduction of new
industries. Informed by the evolutionary perspective this book
argues that innovations within existing industry paths and the
creation of new industries are strongly rooted in the established
economic practice. Historically developed skills, existing
industrial structure and regional and extra-regional networks form
the basis for future regional growth. This volume consists of 11
chapters studying different aspects of regional industrial path
development illustrated with cases from Norway, Sweden and Spain.
The book also look into the role of policy for regional economic
renewal, and argues that economic renewal is fostered by policies
that incorporate both actor-based and system-based elements. Such
policy mix will provide a vital push towards renewal and new path
development. The chapters were originally published as a special
issue in European Planning Studies.
