Abstract: J ames L., V issers G., L arsson A. and D ahlstr�m M. Territorial knowledge dynamics and knowledge anchoring through localized networks: the automotive sector in V�stra G�taland, Regional Studies. Innovative firms often engage in knowledge interactions across regional boundaries, which is difficult to account for by territorial innovation models. The territorial knowledge dynamics perspective directs attention to the ways in which firms and other actors combine regional and extra-regional relations. It deals with the spatial aspects of innovation, emphasizing constantly evolving knowledge networks that are not confined to regional boundaries, which implies a new view on regional knowledge anchoring. The paper presents a case of innovation in the automotive sector in the V�stra G�taland region of Sweden to show how a spatial pattern of knowledge interactions develops over time.
