Regional Development in the
Knowledge Economy

Regional Development in the Knowledge Economy examines the distinctive ways

in which regional actors, institutions and organisations deal with the exigencies
of the rise to prominence of the knowledge economy. The collection derives
etymologies for many key concepts in the ‘knowledge economy’ and ‘new
regionalism’ debates. The international contributions examine a range of theo-
retical and empirical approaches to explain contemporary regional development
processes from a knowledge economy/new regionalism perspective.
The book examines the idea of value creation from the interaction of knowledge
upon knowledge. This applies clearly in science-based or creative industries
but also in established industries that utilise more scientific or creative knowledge
as a matter of course, but with frequent barriers among technical ‘communities
of practice’. Otherwise comparable to professional ‘epistemic communities’
these are practitioner groups that must reduce cognitive dissonance to build up
interactive innovation capabilities. The evidence mobilised in the book shows
this is more tractable at regional level where social capital may be high and
where firm inter-domain professional networks form. Policies both to build and
take advantage of these capabilities are elaborated, discussed and assessed.
Philip Cooke is University Research Professor in Regional Development and
founding Director (1993) of the Centre for Advanced Studies, University of
Wales, Cardiff. His research interests lie in studies of Economics of Biotechnology,
Regional Innovation Systems, Knowledge Economies, and Policy Actions for
Business Clusters and Networks.
Andrea Piccaluga is Professor of Business Administration and Innovation
Management at the Sant’Anna School for Advanced Studies, Pisa, Italy. He is also
scientific director of the SIAF Management School in Volterra (Pisa). His research
interests include R&D management in private and public organizations and
knowledge-based regional development.
Regions and Cities (formerly known as Regional
Development and Public Policy)
Series editors: Ron Martin, University of Cambridge, UK, Gernot Grabher,
University of Bonn, Germany, Maryann Feldman, University of Toronto, Canada

Regions and Cities is an international series that aims to provide authoritative analyses of the
new significance of regions and cities for economic development and public policy. It seeks
to combine fresh theoretical and empirical insights with constructive policy evaluation and
debates, and to provide a definitive set of conceptual, practical and topical studies in the field
of regional and urban public policy analysis.
