Co-evolution in contemporary economic geography: towards a theoretical framework

Abstract

Although co-evolution is a key concept in contemporary economic geography because of its relevance for achieving deep contextualization and sound policy recommendations, it has not largely been taken up in recent empirical work. This is partly due to the lack of a comprehensive theoretical framework. This paper develops such a framework in which two key issues are stressed: the multi-scalarity of co-evolving populations and the nature of change. Moreover, an agenda is set for more theoretically informed future research on co-evolution.
