The creation of knowledge: local building, global accessing and economic development—toward an agenda
论证地方知识构建与全球知识获取在经济发展中相互交织,形成反馈循环并推动知识流通,并识别出三个关键研究领域以深入理解其机制。
This article argues that local knowledge building and global (nonlocal) knowledge-accessing practices in economic development are intrinsically interwoven. They generate fundamental feedback loops, which are channeled through and lead to ongoing knowledge circulation. To better understand the nature of the specific mechanisms and conditions underlying these processes, three key areas of research are identified for current and future research. These are related to (i) creative agents and the nature of local creative processes, (ii) community formation and local creativity from ideas to market penetration and (iii) temporary gatherings as translocal knowledge platforms.
