“…The restructuring of the processing sector is covered in Jakobsen (2001, 2002) andFløysand and Lindkvist (2001).2 In the late 1990s, Nutreco moved into production and acquired Marine Harvest facilities in Scotland, Ireland and Chile. It also acquired one of (footnote continued) Chile's largest domestic firms (Mares Australes) and merged it with Marine Harvest facilities in Chile.…”

“…They concluded that differences between the two villages at the household and community levels, such as early decisions regarding investments in physical capital (such as shrimp boats), reduced dependence on external initiatives, and stronger contacts with local decision-making were significant factors causing the different outcomes. Fløysand and Lindkvist (2001) describe a similar situation between two communities in Finnmark, Norway, and Ommer and Team (2007) and Murray et al (2005) have found likewise in Newfoundland. In a study of climate impacts and vulnerability in Norway, O'Brien et al (2004) also recognized that vulnerability depended on the scale of the analysis and that exposure and sensitivity to climate, and the social and economic conditions that influence adaptive capacity, vary greatly across scales.…”

“…Partnerships among fish‐processing plants and firms can include enhanced links with university academics. In Båtsfjord, Finnmark, the association of fish processors was instrumental in community development, building infrastructure and supporting sports and cultural activities (Fløysand and Lindkvist 2001). Such networks can vary in the degree of connectedness; they can be uni‐ or multidimensional and, once established, they can be invoked in the short term or they can be formed as a basis for frequent and enduring cooperation.…”

Marine social-ecological responses to environmental change and the impacts of globalization

Introduction 428 Four case-studies 428 NE Atlantic -Barents Sea: cod, herring and capelin 429 NW Atlantic -Newfoundland and Labrador: cod and crustaceans 431 Upwelling systems -Northern Benguela Current: small pelagic fishes 434 Upwelling systems -Ghana: demersal and small pelagic fishes 436 Comparisons and contrasts from the case-studies 438 Ecological (biophysical) system 438 AbstractMarine social-ecological systems consist of interactive ecological and human social elements so that changes in ecological systems affect fishing-dependent societies and vice versa. This study compares the responses of marine ecological and fishingdependent systems to environmental change and the impacts of globalization, using four case-studies: NE Atlantic (Barents Sea), NW Atlantic (Newfoundland), SE Atlantic (Namibia) and the equatorial Atlantic (Ghana). Marine ecological systems cope with short-time changes by altering migration and distribution patterns, changing species composition, and changing diets and growth rates; over the longer term, adaptive changes lead to increased turn-over rates and changes in the structure and function of the system. Fishing communities cope with short-term change through intensification and diversification of fishing, migration and 'riding out the storm'. Over the longer term, adaptive changes in policy and fisheries governance can interact with social-ecological change to focus on new fisheries, economic diversification, re-training, out-migration and community closures. Marine social-ecological systems can ultimately possess rapid adaptive capacity in their ecological components, but reduced adaptive capacity in society. Maintaining the diversity of response capabilities on short and longer time scales, among both ecological and human fishing systems, should be a key policy objective. The challenge is to develop robust governance approaches for coupled marine social-ecological systems that can respond to short-and long-term consequences of global change.

This perspective on institutional agency is also closely connected to how multi-dimensionality plays out in territories and over multiple scales, as shown in particular in Paper #3 (connecting SRQ3 and 4).…”

This dissertation is empirically motivated by understanding the observed and ongoing green transformation of the maritime industry in Western Norway, a development that has had implications for both environmental protection, regional economic growth and job creation. Theoretically, the dissertation argues that the observed regional transformation processes should be analysed through an integration of three theoretical frameworks; 'Evolutionary Economic Geography' (EEG), 'Transition Studies' (TS) and 'Institutional Entrepreneurship Work' (IEW). As such, the dissertation argues that transformation is a complex phenomenon that requires co-evolution between several actors, technologies, policies and institutions, but also that these processes need to be embedded in evolving territorial contexts. Finally, these processes must be driven by purposeful actors aiming to change institutions to be more favourable for a green transformation. The dissertation approaches an integration between EEG, TS and IEW through engaging with three debates or 'areas of engagement' within these literatures. These include debates around how actors and agency affect institutional change processes, the role of territorial and multi-scalar dynamics, and the role of simultaneous and dynamically interacting dimensions of materiality, organization and discourse. Through these debates, the dissertation specifically argues for a new analytical framework which emphasises multi-actor institutional change (drawing on IEW), territoriality and multi-scalarity (drawing on EEG), and multi-dimensionality (drawing on TS), as well as the interplay between these elements. The theoretical discussion is illustrated, empirically, by an extensive case study of the green transformation of the Western Norwegian maritime industry. The dissertation is based on four qualitatively oriented papers, each of which contributes to the overall problem framings that it has sought to tackle. These papers focus on the following issues; Paper #1) how engineers perform multi-scalar institution changing practices in addition to technologist practices during processes of transformation; Paper #2) how the material, organizational and discursive dimension around a specific multi-scalar demonstration project (the actor-networks around and the materiality of a 'performing project enacting agency') have led to change in public ferry procurement on regional and national level; Paper #3) how achieving 'directionality' in cluster policy must recognise that regional clusters are embedded in different 'trinity' (materialityorganisation-discourse), sector and territorial/multi-scalar dynamics; and Paper #4) how green x List of papers This dissertation is based on the following papers:
