Agency and the structural determinants of regional growth: towards a retheorisation
挑战了能动性仅存在于有意图行动和关键行为者的观点，以澳大利亚乘用车产业关闭为例，指出能动性体现在多个决策者的累积微观决策中，并强调集体愿景和有效实施对区域成功转型的双重作用。
This paper addresses debates on the role of agency in shaping the economic future of regions.Scholarship on agency departs from the earlier focus of evolutionary economic geography, which highlighted the role of pre-existing structural conditions.This paper challenges the notion that agency is only found in intentional action and is limited to key actors within a region.It questions exclusive focus on the impact of entrepreneurial leaders, place leaders and government, and identifies agency in the accumulated micro-decisions of multiple decision-makers, using the example of workers affected by the closure of Australia's passenger vehicle industry.In so doing, it underscores the twin roles of collective vision and meaningful implementation in the successful transformation of regions.
