Abstract

Este trabajo analiza la evolución del tejido metalmecánico asturiano entre la reconversión industrial y el cambio de milenio, y matiza la visión de Asturias como un territorio desindustrializado. Desde mediados del siglo xix, la aglomeración de actividades transformadoras en torno al carbón y la metalurgia favoreció la generación progresiva de economías externas. Estas terminarían por generar un entorno clusterizado, que permitió al metalmecánico superar el declive de los grandes sectores hegemónicos y reorientar su actividad más allá de sus mercados tradicionales. Dicho salto estuvo liderado por una base empresarial emergente, de clara vocación internacional y especializada en proyectos de alto componente tecnológico. A su vez, este enfoque podría suponer una nueva línea de investigación en el estudio de otras regiones siderúrgicas en declive mediante el análisis de dinámicas de largo plazo que desemboquen en el desarrollo de actividades relacionadas con la industria 4.0. KEY Classification-JEL: L61; N64; N94; F6
