A review on the new industrial path development in the peripheries from the perspective of evolution
New industrial path development is a classic research topic of Economic Geography.The evolutionary turn provides some novel perspectives for understanding such devleopment.However,the classic theory of Evolutionary Economic Geography mainly focuses on the core areas with superior advantages and successful development experience,and maintains that the development of new industries is based on the specific factors formed by history,thus is unsuitable for explaining the development trajectory of new industries in the peripheries,which are characterized by weak industrial foundation,labor shortage,and low level of knowledge and technology.Therefore,based on the life cycle,windows of locational opportunity(space),and related diversity and unrelated diversity literature,this review summarized the differences and connections between the core and the periphery,and the process of the new industrial path development in the peripheries.The formation of the new industrial path development in the peripheries is jointly affected by industrial heterogeneity,multi-scalar connection,entry method,and agency:1)Industries characterized by gradual innovation,mature development stage,interactive learning,or special requirements are more likely to develop in the peripheries.2)The occurrence of such development relies more on the strengthening of multi-scalar interaction and external connection.3)The entry of such industries often takes the path of transplantation,branching,and extension.4)The formation and strengthening of new industrial path development often result from the agency of multiple actors.Through identifying and seizing development opportunities,these actors try to match the development requirements of new industries.Finally,this article discussed aspects of future research according to the context of China's transformation period and the core-peripheral relationship.
