How are firms, networks of firms, and production systems organized
and how does this organization vary from place to place? What are
the new geographies emerging from the need to create, access, and
share knowledge, and sustain competitiveness? In what ways are
local clusters and global exchange relations intertwined and
co-constituted? What are the impacts of global changes in
technology, demand, and competition on the organization of
production, and how do these effects vary between communities,
regions, and nations?
This book synthesizes theories from across the social sciences with
empirical research and case studies in order to answer these
questions and to demonstrate how people and firms organize economic
action and interaction across local, national, and global flows of
knowledge and innovation. It is structured in four clear parts:
- Part I: Foundations of Relational Thinking
- Part II: Relational Clusters of Knowledge
- Part III: Knowledge Circulation Across Territories
- Part IV: Toward a Relational Economic Policy?
The book employs a novel relational framework, which recognizes
values, interpretative frameworks, and decision-making practices as
subject to the contextuality of the social institutions that
characterize the relationships between the human agents. It will be
a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and graduate
students across the social sciences, and practitioners in clusters
policy.
