Abstract

How coal has shaped regional and social identities should not be overlooked while discussing the social impact of the on-going transition. Hence the need to focus on different pathways adopted by national and regional governments to adjust to the new context. While focusing on the sub-national level, this contribution aims at highlighting some of the challenges raised and to connect them to some findings from the literature dedicated to economic geography.
