Abstract
The role of state agencies in regional new path creation has been largely neglected and underexplored to date. This article aims to contribute to these debates by a case study of the wind power industry from China’s rustbelt, where local economies have been strongly influenced by the state. It demonstrates how a new growth industry was created over time by combined forces of the national and local state. This article suggests that the strategic actions and the interplay of multilevelled state actors in a changing national political economy should be taken into account when analysing path creation mechanisms in old industrial regions.
