Beskrivning

Resilience has lately emerged as a recurrent notion to explain how territorial socio-economic systems adapt successfully (or not) to negative events. Resilience, Crisis and Innovation Dynamics uses resilience as a bridging notion to connect different types of theoretical and empirical approaches, helping improve understanding of the impacts of economic turbulence at both system and actor levels. Providing a unique overview of the recent financial crisis, as well as assessing the importance of innovation dynamics for regional resilience, the international array of contributors offers an engaging and thought-provoking debate as to how regional resilience can be improved as well as exploring the social aspects of vulnerability, resilience and innovation. In offering a set of challenges from different regional and structural perspectives, the book helps to consolidate the research surrounding resilience in regional science. Essentially, the contributions consider the relevance of innovation systems, knowledge networks and the role innovation actors play to create new possibilities for preparing for, and adapting to, both present shocks and future problems that may arise. Offering a wealth of refreshing studies with great value for academia, industry and government, this book will be relevant for students and researchers of economics, urban and regional studies, and innovation as well as regional scientists and planners.Contributors include: P.

Resilience, Crisis and Innovation Dynamics is a timely and welcome contribution to the debate on economic resilience. The volume takes a fresh look at the topic with a special focus on economic turbulence and vulnerability of regional economies. It brings together a remarkable collection of conceptual and empirical contributions from Europe and beyond, addressing many different dimensions of economic resilience. It is essential reading for practitioners, policy-makers, scholars and students as they seek to understand the ability of regional economies to navigate these turbulent times.'--Elvira Uyarra, University of Manchester, UK'This book, authored by recognised and young authors from thirteen countries across all continents, shows that globalisation raises similar issues for people and places around the world. It fulfils an important role in the production and sharing of scientific knowledge whilst reinforcing the vocation of regional science to respond to emerging issues in the real world.'--Tomaz Ponce Dentinho, Editor of Regional Science Policy and Practice
