The role of initial and gradual trust in growing and unlocking regional industrial specialisations
Author
Summary, in English
Regional development is a dynamic process where relatively stable periods are interrupted by phases of more rapid transformation and disruption. Such dynamics are heavily influenced by the scope and nature of knowledge networks. Trust is a key mechanism influencing the mobilisation of networks for learning and innovation and thereby an important factor for understanding regional development. This paper sets out to unpack the role of initial and gradual trust in regional development by advancing a differentiated view that sheds light on why, when, and how trust affects regional development dynamics in a positive or negative way. Avenues for future research are identified.
