The geography of innovation is changing. Firstly, it is increasingly understood that innovative firms and organizations exhibit a wide variety of strategies, each differently attuned to diverse geographic contexts. Secondly, and concomitantly, the idea that cities, clusters and physical proximity are essential for innovation is evolving under the weight of new theorizing and empirical evidence. The aim of this handbook is to break with the many ideas and concepts that emerged during the course of the 1980s and 1990s, and to fully take into account the new reality of the internet, mobile communication technologies, personal mobility and globalization.
The handbook gathers a new generation of ideas and authors to contribute to the debate, providing an empirically grounded critical appraisal of the prevailing knowledge on the geography of innovation. The 28 original chapters, written by a diverse range of scholars with widely differing views, present fresh empirical evidence and new perspectives relating to how innovation plays out across space in an age where mobility has increased, information is ubiquitous and globalisation has been realised. Overall, the dialogue between existing theory and new possibilities provides a unique and challenging appraisal of the connection between innovation, agglomeration and space.
Offering cutting edge ideas in an accessible format, this will be an ideal resource for students and scholars of economic geography and innovation studies. The empirical evidence and analysis will also be of great value for policymakers and government officials.

Edited by Richard Shearmur, School of Urban Planning, McGill University, Canada, Christophe Carrincazeaux, GREThA UMR CNRS 5113, University of Bordeaux, France and David Doloreux, Department of International Business, HEC Montréal, Canada
'The editors have assembled a superb array of experts on various
aspects of innovation and its geographical sources, processes and
manifestations. This volume provides state-of-the-art overviews of
key topics, probing of ongoing debates, and fresh empirical
perspectives on unresolved dilemmas in innovation studies. The
volume should be an essential reference for scholars and
policymakers alike as they struggle to understand the many
geographies of innovation.'
*Edward J. Malecki, The Ohio State University*
'The authors present a much needed update to prior handbooks on the
geography of innovation. They have been able to put together a
remarkable and consistent collection of chapters by well-known
authors that will be of relevance not only for geographers, but
also for scholars in economics, innovation studies and related
fields interested in the spatial aspects of innovation. It combines
well-established topics on innovation systems with new insights,
for instance, into the culture of innovation, discusses center vs.
periphery innovation, and orients itself along a set of perceived
confusions in the field - as identified in the introduction. I
believe this book will find a broad readership among researchers,
students and politicians interested in the spatiality of
innovation.'
*- Harald Bathelt, University of Toronto, Canada*
