Managing potential impacts and uncertainties of high-speed rail access at local level
This paper empirically investigates how local actors manage potential impacts and uncertainties associated with a new high-speed rail (HSR) access. The provision of such supra-regional transport infrastructure offers significant benefits to accessed cities and regions. However, the main challenge lies in transforming the potentials into actual local impacts. We conducted expert interviews in four German cities equipped with HSR stations to examin…
Exploring the Economic Geographies of Sustainability Transitions
This commentary provides a short review of the history and current state of transition studies, and explores how a deepened exchange with economic geographers could be fostered at the geography of sustainability transitions interface along three fronts. First, we argue that a combined transitions–economic geography perspective allows elucidating how the coevolution of technologies, institutions, and actor networks creates multiscalar and spatiall…
How do new music genres emerge? Diversification processes in symbolic knowledge bases
Using data on the emergence of music genres from 1970 to 2015, this paper examines the relative importance of related and unrelated diversification processes for symbolic knowledge creation. Modelling 33 urban music scenes from Northern America and Europe as network-based symbolic knowledge bases allows for the testing of whether new genres are related or unrelated to pre-existing knowledge bases. The results show that new music genres spawn main…
Innovation in Creative Industries
This article investigates the relation between different forms of (related) variety found in urban music scenes and innovation in music. While related variety has been found to be positively associated with several indicators of regional economic development and technological innovation, it remains unclear whether its merits also benefit innovation in creative industries. As innovation in creative industries is based on symbolic knowledge, the de…

From standard takers to standard makers? The role of knowledge-intensive intermediaries in setting global sustainability standards
Standards are increasingly being geared towards addressing social and ecological concerns in global production networks, but to facilitate sustainable development locally, global standards need to integrate the context-specific needs of actors in developing countries. However, most standards are still developed in the Global North, while the inclusion of actors from developing countries remains limited. Nonetheless, there is recent evidence of so…
Combining Knowledge Bases in Transnational Sustainability Innovation
In response to complex and pressing environmental and social problems, sustainability innovations that have the potential to contribute to long-term socio-ecological transformations, have become increasingly important. However, these innovations seem to differ distinctively from recognized technological and economic forms of innovation by their formation and scaling processes, actor constellations, and the complexity of knowledge combination. Due…
Cumulative and Combinatorial Micro-dynamics of Knowledge
The changing nature of innovation processes is a significant feature of the global structural transformation towards knowledge economies. Much more than in the past, innovation processes require the integration of highly specialized knowledge bases distributed over heterogeneous actors. Hence, we claim that there is a hidden qualitative shift in knowledge dynamics towards combinatorial knowledge. The geography of these knowledge dynamics on the m…
Knowledge‐intensive Business Services in the Rhine‐neckar Area
The article emphasizes the importance of network relationships for knowledge‐intensive service firms. Network relationships have a key function in the interaction between supplier and client. Clients take advantage of network relationships to find an adequate supplier, especially in the initial contact phase, as clients' uncertainty about the quality and suitability of the supplier's services is greatest at this time. The results of the empirical…
