The main purpose of the book is to discuss new trends in the
dynamic geography of innovation and argue that in an era of
increasing globalization, two trends seem quite dominant: rigid
territorial models of innovation, and localized configurations of
innovative activities. The book brings together scholars who are
working on these topics. Rather than focusing on established
concepts and theories, the book aims to question narrow
explanations, rigid territorializations, and simplistic policy
frameworks; it provides evidence that innovation, while not
exclusively dependent on regional contexts, can be influenced by
place-specific attributes.
The book will bring together new empirical and conceptual work
by an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars from areas such
as economic geography, innovation studies, and political science.
Based on recent discussions surrounding innovation systems of
different types, it aims to synthesize state-of-the-art know-how
and provide new perspectives on the role of innovation and
knowledge creation in the global political economy.
