Resumen

  • This Research Handbook on Regions and Transformative Innovation Policy is the result of a collaborative effort involving 47 contributors across 26 chapters, spanning all continents. The idea for this volume emerged from a simple observation. While transformative innovation policy (TIP) has rapidly become a central reference point in academic and policy debates, the regional dimension of TIP has received surprisingly little attention. While regional policymakers are attempting to implement TIP, to our knowledge, there has been no attempt to provide an international overview or assessment of these efforts. This is all the more remarkable since regions are precisely the places where societal challenges intersect directly, where policy experimentation is grounded, and where the everyday realities of transformation are experienced firsthand.

    From the outset, having worked with TIP both in theory and in practice, we aimed to bring together a diverse range of voices to explore how TIP is taking shape in regions across the globe. A transformative approach to innovation policy has emerged in various forms and guises, and, although this began in Europe, its novelty and relevance has generated strong global interest. However, there is very limited understanding of the state of this approach internationally or of its variations in different geographic contexts. This Handbook is the first comprehensive global overview of the implementation of the transformative approach worldwide. What unites these contributions is not a single conceptual framework or model but a shared curiosity about how sustainability imperatives are interpreted, contested, and institutionalised in different contexts.

    The Handbook is structured in five parts. The first sets the stage by introducing the rationale for a regional perspective on TIP and providing an overview of contributions. The second gathers conceptual contributions, while the third and fourth present regional cases—first from Europe, then from other parts of the world. The final section offers synthesis and comparative reflection. While the volume can be read sequentially, we also expect many readers will approach it selectively, according to interest in specific regions, themes, or conceptual debates.
