Opis

It is now commonly accepted that we live in a knowledge-based society and descriptions of what this means in practice are legion via analysis of the interaction between universities and the economy, business clusters and technopoles and the rise of information technology. However, few attempts have been made to understand the philosophical roots and political nature of such a society - a complex enactment of contemporary state power through which a modern style of governance cane be exercised. Central to this is the notion of the internationalization of policy regimes, the role of subjectivity and creativity and the spatial transformation of the state. Sami Moisio engages deeply with the issues to provide a theoretical overview of the knowledge-based society's geopolitics.
