Abstract
Sectoral networks can theoretically influence environmental protection in industry in two different ways. Firstly, sectoral networks can influence the direction and pace of structural change in industries (A1 in Fig. 1 and can consequently have an indirect effect on the environmental stress caused by these industries (A2 in Fig. 1, i.e. inter-sectoral change). Secondly, sectoral networks can also have a direct effect on environmental stress through their capacity to develop collective strategies to cope with the environmental stress produced in these sectors (B in Fig. 1, i.e. intra-sectoral modernisation). Although the latter is a fascinating topic for analysis in itself, this paper will mainly concentrate on the former (and on Al in Fig. 1 in particular). As far as structural change is concerned, it is clear that other factors (such as business strategies, local factors, legal measures, etc.) also play an important role. However, for conceptual reasons, this paper will demonstrate and concentrate on the importance of sectoral networks for structural change.
