Regional innovation potential in Southeast Asia – empirical evidence
from a ‘new’ economic geography perspective
Pages 196 - 214
This paper presents the methodological approach and some basic
empirical evidence of a research project measuring and comparing regional
innovation potential in Singapore, Penang (Malaysia), and Bangkok. This
project is conceptually situated in the context of a ‘new’
economic geography that integrates contributions from geographical economics
and the economics of knowledge, learning and innovation into an established
regional science framework. It is suggested that future research into
the geography of innovation and knowledge-based regional development should
not only focus on the relationship between various spatial scales, but
also explore multi-dimensional concepts of territorial and non-territorial
space. Keywords: innovation, knowledge, learning, regional development,
regional innovation potential, Southeast Asia.
