Technological revolutions, socio-technical transitions and the role of agency: Värmland’s transition to a regional bio-economy
基于瑞典韦姆兰地区的访谈数据，分析技术革命如何影响区域发展，并探讨能动性和战略制定在向森林生物经济转型中的作用，对研究区域路径创造和政策制定者具有参考价值。
The paper draws on the literatures on techno-economic paradigms and socio-technical transitions to analyse the impact of technological revolutions on regional development. Based on interview data collected from policymakers and regional firms, the paper adopts a multi-scalar approach to analyse the role of agency and strategy formulation in the emergence of a new bio-based techno-economic paradigm and the early stages of a process of socio-technical transition towards a forest-based bio-economy in the Värmland Region of Sweden. The paper contributes to an understanding of the role of strategic agency in new regional path creation in the context of radically technological change.
