From interregional knowledge networks to systems
这篇概念性论文探讨了区域间知识交换的理论基础，定义了网络类型和邻近性影响，并提出了区域间知识交换系统的新概念，为研究其结构、形成和演化提供了新议程。
Whereas interregional networks of individual actors have recently received growing attention, networks in terms of collective regional groups of organisations interacting with their counterparts remain largely ignored. This is surprising given the Smart Specialisation agenda's ‘outward looking’ approach. This conceptual paper explores the rationales and dimensions underpinning interregional knowledge exchange, networks and systems including a definitional clarity, a typology of networks and the impacts of different types of proximity. The paper also introduces the concept of the interregional knowledge exchange system and sets a new agenda for studying their structure, formation and evolutionary path.
