Creating new ecosystems
“We cannot address
societal challenges
through minor
adjustments and
conventional
management methods.”
Committee of the Regions, 2013

Developing the
framework: theories
& concepts
![Page 6: Developing new vocabulary in regional studies for changing ...3ftfah3bhjub3knerv1hneul-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/... · Epistemology of Complexity approaches - ontology of connected](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042303/5ecebf8005c87d57ad783bc0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Epistemology of Complexity approaches
- ontology of connected entities, changing links, nodes that change internally, capabilities
develop and change over time
- ‘open systems’ interacting with environment → ‘interpretation systems’
- ‘actor’s’ interpretation of system → as part of system
- ‘modeller’ and ‘model’ are part of system → system evolves through interactions
Case study: Energy Valley
Supplementary:
Karlstad – Paper Province
Silicon Valley

complexity of challenges faced
- different perspectives on challenges
- different ideas on solutions
![Page 8: Developing new vocabulary in regional studies for changing ...3ftfah3bhjub3knerv1hneul-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/... · Epistemology of Complexity approaches - ontology of connected](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042303/5ecebf8005c87d57ad783bc0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Drivers of change and new
complexity
quadruple-helix
different perceptions
different priorities
different solutions

→ epistemology of interconnected systems changes
interacting with its environment
- different dynamics in different parts of the systems
- held together by system constraints
- initial conditions and interactions shaping systems

Cluster Emergence Model
→ epistemology of
interconnected systems changes
interacting with its environment
- different dynamics in different
parts of the systems
- held together by system
constraints
- interactions rather than inherent
properties shaping systems
changes
- sensemaking is an integral part
of systems change

What is ‘new’ about this approach?
– combines concepts from
evolutionary and complexity sciences
for regional studies
– offers an extensive whole-systems
approach to study regional
developments in their changing
context
– brings sensemaking processes to
the foreground
– offers a systemic analysis tool that
facilitates new thinking and dialogues
– offers new interventions based on
complex adaptive systems approach
