My first open access publication is out in @RSRS_OA, thankfully funded by @regstud!✨The study expands our understanding of development traps and peripheral regions by showing how imaginaries held by key actors materialise and become regional realities.

Why do some regions lead green transitions - while others stay stuck? 🧐
Drawing on 92 interviews across four regions, I show how system-level agency & intermediaries can unlock (or block) change, overcome path dependencies, and seize green opportunities.

This (EXCELLENT) paper expands the understanding of development traps and peripheral regions by showing how stories and imaginaries held by key actors materialise and become regional realities and calls for more place sensitivity. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Remaining in a development trap for long periods leads to discontent, causing social & political resentment towards a system that does not benefit left-behind areas.
Excellent article by @max_roessler on why regions fall into traps.
