Contextualizing agency in new path development: how system selectivity shapes regional reconfiguration capacity
提出“系统选择性”概念，分析区域想象、权力关系和方向性如何影响区域创新系统的重构能力，并通过瑞典两个地区的案例（西瑞典汽车业和斯科尼亚数字游戏业）说明其对主体战略制定的作用。
This paper examines factors shaping the reconfiguration capacity of regional innovation systems (RISs). ‘System selectivity’ is introduced as a concept to understand how factors such as regional imaginaries, power relations and directionality shape how RIS reconfiguration plays out. A comparative case study illustrates the conceptual arguments, investigating industrial change in two Swedish regions (the automotive industry in West Sweden and the digital games industry in Scania). The findings exemplify the influence of system selectivity on agents’ strategy formulation for RIS reconfiguration and highlight the importance of considering structure–agency dynamics to move beyond a stylized view of enabling or constraining RISs.
