Lock-in, paradox and regional renewal
研究了老工业区更新中政治锁定与认知锁定的相互作用，以阿拉斯加安克雷奇为例，指出过度追求个人经济利益导致集体能力发展停滞，无法认识和处理悖论是维持政治锁定的认知障碍。
This paper focuses on the interaction between political and cognitive lock-in in stalling attempts at regional renewal of old industrial regions. It draws on analysis of the city of Anchorage, Alaska. The decline of the oil industry has been followed by a gridlock: a pattern of being stuck and polarized. This gridlock is caused by a particular type of lock-in: an excessive polarization to individual economic gain has at the same time removed incentives to develop capabilities at the collective level. A key implication is that the inability to perceive and work with paradox is a cognitive barrier sustaining political lock-in.
