Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law,
expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be
accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. Over the past 25 years, the regional innovation system (RIS)
approach has become a powerful framework for explaining the uneven
geographical distribution of innovation, as well as for developing
policies geared towards boosting the innovation capability of
regional economies. This Advanced Introduction provides a critical
review and discussion of research on RIS to answer a set of core
questions covering the origins of the concept and its theoretical
underpinnings, conceptual advances, empirical applications in
different spatial contexts, the policy relevance of RIS and the
challenges for future scholarly work. Key features include: ? a
comprehensive introduction to the RIS approach and its development?
a critical review of the development of research on RIS? an
analysis of empirical varieties of RIS? in-depth discussion linking
RIS to other important concepts in studies of regional economic
development, including industrial districts, regional clusters,
knowledge bases and regional industrial path development. Ideal as
an introductory textbook at both bachelor and master levels in
economic geography, regional economic development and innovation
studies, this concise Advanced Introduction will be a vital tool
for understanding regional innovation studies.
