Abstract

Abstract The emergence of new regional paths is a key topic in economic geography. While new paths are largely associated with positive regional economic outcomes, little is known about how the formation of a new industry affects other parts of the regional economy. By linking recent conceptual advancements on early path formation and interpath relationships, this article develops a framework for studying how path creation, as a result of diverse resource formation processes, can cause reformation processes of existing industries. The value of the framework is illustrated in a case study on the tourism path formation process in the Zambezi region (Namibia) and its impacts on the agricultural sector. The findings reveal how the path formation has caused new forms of intraregional inequalities as well as novel opportunities for the existing agricultural sector depending on the interpath relationship. Beyond these case study–specific findings, the results emphasize the importance of a broader perspective that goes beyond a single new path and includes nonparticipating regional actors in the analysis. Only in this way can we understand how new path creation translates into regional economic development.

路径形成与改革:区域发展路径创造的多重后果研究
新区域路径的出现是经济地理学的一个重要课题。虽然新的路径在很大程度上与积极的区域经济成果有关,但人们对新产业的形成如何影响区域经济的其他部分知之甚少。通过将早期路径形成和路径间关系的最新概念进展联系起来,本文开发了一个框架,用于研究作为不同资源形成过程的结果的路径创造如何导致现有产业的改革过程。关于赞比西地区(纳米比亚)旅游路径形成过程及其对农业部门影响的案例研究说明了该框架的价值。研究结果揭示了路径的形成是如何造成新形式的区域内不平等的,以及基于路径间关系的现有农业部门的新机会。除了这些具体案例研究的发现外,研究结果还强调了更广泛的视角的重要性,这种视角超越了单一的新途径,并将不参与分析的区域行动者包括在内。只有这样,我们才能理解新路径创造如何转化为区域经济发展。

期刊介绍: Economic Geography is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research that advances the field of economic geography. Their goal is to publish high-quality studies that are both theoretically robust and grounded in empirical evidence, contributing to our understanding of the geographic factors and consequences of economic processes. It welcome submissions on a wide range of topics that provide primary evidence for significant theoretical interventions, offering key insights into important economic, social, development, and environmental issues. To ensure the highest quality publications, all submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review process with at least three external referees and an editor. Economic Geography has been owned by Clark University since 1925 and plays a central role in supporting the global activities of the field, providing publications and other forms of scholarly support. The journal is published five times a year in January, March, June, August, and November.
