CONCEPTUALISATION
Path plasticity and facilitating leadership
Concept of path dependency well-established
System of institutions maintaining direction
Firms, regulation, actor behaviour, discourse
Unease: multiscalarity, co-existence
Traditional way out: Path creation
Sudden change, from outside existing system
Focus on big transformations, heroic leadership
Alternative: Path plasticity (Simone Strambach)
Incremental change in institutions/system
Enabled by interpretable ill-enforced institutions
Actors within, knowledge combination
Facilitating leadership
