Hi All! I hope everyone is well! Just a quick post to share a few updates from the past few months. Haven't been as active on LinkedIn as I should, hence it's great to re-connect! 1) 2024 started with the publication of a new collaborative paper (with Xiaobo Su) in Dialogues in Human Geography that critically explores the state's role in the urbanization of capital. The paper reviews the state's direct role in driving venture capital investments in urban regions since the 1950s, and presents a new research agenda on its future impacts. This paper is available open access here: https://lnkd.in/emyUTtx4 2) After working on this paper for many years, I finally completed a genealogy and research agenda on urbanization in China by exploring its tensions with peasant mobilization. The new paper is published by International Journal of Urban and Regional Research and is available open access here: https://lnkd.in/e-Js_HCD 3) My critical commentary on Isabella Weber's famous book, How China Escaped Shock Therapy, is published (together with a reply from Weber) in Environment and Planning A. The commentary is available open access here: https://lnkd.in/eVTgXDWb 4) I have finally developed a personal website! It encompasses latest updates and provides a clearer overview of my work. I'm not adroit at website building, hence there'll be further tweaks and refinement along the way. I'll also be blogging from there, and blog posts will be shared through LinkedIn. Please come by if you can: https://lnkd.in/e54W8Yre

Illinois Institute of Technology Illinois Tech Lewis College of Science and Letters Great Problems, Great Minds Seminar Series: "Revisiting Foreign Direct Investment in Less Developed Countries and Peripheral Regions" with Dr. Petr Pavlinek, a Professor in the UNO Department of Geography/Geology in the College of Arts and Sciences at University of Nebraska at Omaha, who focuses on the regional development effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) in less developed countries and peripheral regions, argues the very uneven and limited development effects of FDI in less developed countries from the empirical evidence and contrasting conclusions about the potential development effects of FDI from mainstream and heterodox perspectives, and suggests a greater potential of FDI to benefit core regions than peripheral regions in the long run in the peripheral regions of more developed countries and an examination of the effects of FDI in peripheral regions in the overall context of uneven development and a rapidly changing world economy Wednesday, February 7, 5 - 6:15 p.m. Online Event: GO.IIT.EDU/GREATMINDS or Zoom Meeting ID: 2020917110 Passcode: SSCI492 Join Zoom Meeting: https://lnkd.in/gHZkh9-b His research webpage: https://lnkd.in/gbfjdean #illinoistech #LewisCollege #foreigndirectinvestment #LessDevelopedCountries #PeripheralRegions #regionaldevelopment #uneven #limited #DevelopmentEffects #mainstream #HeterodoxPerspectives #ContrastingConclusions #potential #MoreDevelopedCountries #CoreRegions #ConceptualApproaches #EconomicGeography #longterm #EffectsOfFDI #worldeconomy

‘How to avoid concept stretching when incorporating sustainability in one’s theories’, was the theme of a panel Bjorn Asheim had organised at RSA’s annual conference. Panel was held today. We had invited the best researchers (too many to mention) in economic geography to give their take on the challenges. All speakers recognised the need to pay special attention to it and illustrated how to avoid theory or concept mushrooming. #rsa #sistainability #sdu #innovation

This new special issue zooms in on agents of change in old-industrial and non-metropolitan regions. Even though old-industrial and non-metropolitan regions share symptoms of lock-in related to their industrial heritage and specialization, it is not uncommon that coalitions of actors engage in local change processes, combining local and non-local knowledge and resources. However, the outcomes of such engagement are also contingent on the particular contexts. The special issue sheds light on context conditions of local agency such as the relationship between centrality and peripherality, uneven power relations, the processes of centralization or devolution, spatial reorganization of production, and the making of development visions and spatial narratives The special issue highlights the potentials and the need for place-based agency that emerges around social, economic, and political arrangements, as opposed to more narrow firm- and competition-based arrangements. To encourage more locally embedded and supported visions and actions, this special issue indicates the need for national and European policies that entail responsibility (in dealing with environmental and social risks and providing access to all elements of the foundational economy), multi-scalarity (a consistent arrangement of national, regional, and local policies and institutions), and sensitivity to local contexts, while supporting bottom-up initiatives and placing local agents in the focus of policy action. The papers draw insights from detailed case studies all around Europe. I thank Nadir Kinossian for taking us on board on the exciting Agents of Change in Old Industrial Regions project, and all wonderful colleagues who shared our learning journey.
This is the Editorial for a SI on Agents of Change in Old-industrial and Non-metropolitan regions of Europe.

LUCK We all may define this term differently according to both the external and internal conditions we face, but according to my opinion this are the results which comes as a result of the efforts invested in maximising our potentials rather than limitations. Geographers may agree with me that during the Ancient phase of geographical development their once existed the Greco-Roman Geographers, the likes of Eratosthenes,Fredrick Ratzel,Vidal the Lablech and many others who invested their efforts in Exploring by traversing different continents and coming out with their discoveries which we all rely on today. Congrats to them because without their existence we couldn't know the development of Geography which focuses on the Real nature of our today's world, and that is the true Luck we must talk of. As we hope to be the next scientist's we must all acknowledge their efforts by building on what they earlier stated. We may disagree on some discoveries but that will always be the path to an agreement, never fear to deliver facts because in all every person is either a creator of facts or a creature of circumstances as once noted by a Renowned Author Myles Munroe in his book "UNDERSTANDING YOU POTTENTIAL". We can't actually approach success which I prefer as Luck using the same methodology because it is not always a comparison of what we have done and what others have done, this can only be achieved by being unique in whatever we face, diligent, reliable and self driven. Let's be the few who can make things happen rather than the overwhelming majority who will always have no notion of what happens by standing with our assumed facts until proven wrong, because we are all defined by the eventuality of our descions, this is what can differentiate a Possibilist and a Determinist. //Ephesians 2:10// https://lnkd.in/eWWV-MGk #worldwidescientist

I just started, and love this book already: https://lnkd.in/gmnAbaYf The general introduction opens with the question: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FUTURE? For millenia the prosper of the future has offered hope. Humans have gazed toward the horizon on the future. Now, there are three hypothesis, three possible futures.. One in which humans are threatened by how they have inexorably altered the planet’s habitability. We may have no future at all. One in which we have a “bright” future, with no planatery, corporeal and cognitive limits, where humans merge with digital technologies to massively increase their capabilities (at least some). A future where we move to Mars. Third, One future marked by an ethos of coexistence; post hubris, post capitalistic, post-growth, post-Promethean … simply convivial. The future will likely land somewhere in between these scenarios. And the book tries to look at tomorrow building upon present cues. My own work strives for the third future, a regenerative, convivial one. Thanks to Nathanaël Wallenhorst and Christoph Wulf

There's a lot going on right now in regional science. We host the 14th RSAI World Congress in Kecskemét, Hungary and we are really amazed by the richness of topics in economics, geography, environment, modeling, AI and all others. Every phenomenon is related to the physical space where it actually takes place. This is what we are looking at. Check out our keynotes and OECD and European Commission JRC policy sessions at the youtube channel of RSAI. See the first comment below ⬇️ #rsai #regionalscience #rsaikecskemet #nje #neumann
