State structures and the limits of agency: governing the transformation from coal in Australia
比较澳大利亚两个州煤炭依赖地区的经济转型管理，发现区域研究中忽视了组织定位和国家权力自上而下对能动性的限制。
To what extent do subnational differences in the configurations of formal and informal institutions shape the relative capacities of state and regional agents? This article considers the distribution of capacities and powers among regional actors, as defined by their organizational roles and the power of the state. After comparing the management of economic change in two peripherally located and coal-dependent areas in different States in Australia, the article concludes that accounts of institutional change in regional studies have paid insufficient attention to the limitations on agency arising from organizational positioning and the ‘top down’ assertion of state power.
