Resumen
The relationship between geography and the creation, use, and reproduction of
knowledge has been at the core of this book series. The previous twelve volumes
have focused, among other topics, on the role that creativity (Meusburger, Funke, &
Wunder, 2009), science and universities (Meusburger, Livingston, & Jöns, 2010),
power (Meusburger, Gregory, & Suarsana, 2015), culture and action (Meusburger,
Werlen, & Suarsana, 2017), and networks (Glückler, Lazega, & Hammer, 2017)
have in cultivating an understanding of how the social process of knowing unfolds
in space. They all draw attention to ways in which this process is situated in places
and how learning connects people across places. Centering on institutions, volume
13 presents yet another perspective on the spatiality of human knowledge. Across
the social sciences scholars have been attributing to institutions a major part in
social, political, cultural, an d economic development. Although there is agreement
on the importance of institutions, there are several understandings of what institutions are and how they influence social life. The purpose of this volume is to examine a rather neglected and only recently acknowledged dimension in institutional
theory: the spatiality of institutions, the spatiotemporal dynamics of institutional
change, and the role of institutions in the creation and reproduction of knowledge
and related social outcomes in bounded territories.
