Abstract

Over the last few years, regional economics has seen a heterodox paradigm emerge in its midst, which involves what we might call a new "holy trinity": technologies -organisations -territories. The author proposes that it is accurate to give content to the analysis of these three components. In order to do so, it is necessary to overcome the metaphor of economic systems as machines, with hard inputs and outputs, the physics and geometry of which may be understood in a complete and determinate way. This focus on the mechanics of regional development must now be complemented by another focus, where the guiding metaphor is the economy as relations, the economic process as conversation and co-ordination, the subjects of the process not as factors but as reflexive human actors, and the nature of economic accumulation as not only material assets, but as relational assets. In this sense, regional economies in particular and integrated territorial economies in general, are redefined here as stocks of relational assets.
