Innovative Capacity, Infrastructure and Regional Inversion: Is there a Long-term Dynamic?

Abstract: Abstract Among the most interesting regional phenomena of the twentieth century is the emergence of previously peripheral or outlying regions as major sources of technology and of economic dynamism. In a few decades, several of these regions have become some of the world’s most important repositories of technological knowledge, with impacts that reach well beyond their respective national and continental boundaries. The diffusion of innovations has been greatly affected by the technological emergence of those previously lagging or disadvantaged regions, as knowledge networks, shorter product cycles and rising technical capabilities have allowed greater access to innovations than ever before in human history.
