PHD Project

Title: Explaining the uneven adaptability of old industrial areas in China: A comparison of two coal-mining regions

This doctoral project aims at exploring the evolutionary dynamics, mechanisms and patterns of industrial restructuring of old industrial areas in China, with a particular focus on the adaptation and adaptability of resource based regions. In doing so, two coal-mining city-regions namely Fuxin in Liaoning Province and Zaozhuang in Shandong Province, will be compared so as to give a better understanding of geographically uneven adaptability of old industrial areas in new contexts. This project has four main aims: First, to identify the evolutionary characteristics of Chinese old industrial areas by critically adopting the evolutionary economic geography approach and other related social sciences, and then to establish a tailor-made analytical framework that fits for the research scope and objects. Secondly, to investigate what impact factors affect the evolution of adaptability and how they interact and co-evolve to shape the identified paths in the cases. Thirdly, to compare the differences and similarities in the impact factors of adaptability in which the role of state, power, leadership and other multi-scaled elements will be closely analysed. Finally, the project will not only generate policy recommendations for further development and transformation of the cases, but also cast light on doing evolution in economic geography in the Chinese specific context and open the door for future research on uneven adaptation and adaptability of old industrial areas (particularly coal-mining regions) in other newly emerging economies.
