Economic geographers increasingly consider the significance of
history in shaping the contemporary socio-economic landscape and
believe that experiences and competencies, acquired over time by
individuals and entities in particular localities, to a large
degree determine present configurations as well as future regional
trajectories. Attempts to trace, understand, and investigate the
pathways from past to present have given rise to the thriving and
exciting sub-field of Evolutionary Economic Geography (EEG). EEG
highlights the important factors that initiate, inhibit, or
consolidate the contextual settings and relationships in which
regions and their respective agents, which comprise and shape
economic activity and social reproduction, change over time. It has
at its core the production and destruction of novelty in space, and
the links between innovation and regional economic fortunes. The
creation of knowledge, its movement and recombination within
different regional ensembles of economic agents and institutions
plays a critical role in the evolution of the space-economy. EEG
provides a framework to disentangle the complexity of technological
change and regional economic development based on a variety of
theoretical and methodological approaches. In only a short time,
EEG has established itself as a promising and rapidly evolving
research framework with its focus on the driving forces of regional
development across various scales and its attempt to translate
findings into public policy. This book advances the theoretical
foundations of EEG, and demonstrates how EEG utilises and
operationalises conceptual frameworks, both established and new.
Contributions also point to future research avenues and extensions
of EEG, attempting to build stronger ties between theory, empirical
evidence, and relevance to policy. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Regional Studies.
