The knowledge test is about competing temporal and spatial
expressions of the politics of technological development and
national prosperity in contemporary society. The discussion is
based on literature of national systems of innovation and
industrial networks of various sorts. Similarities and differences
in the disparate theories are discussed through a critical
perspective on metaphor, time, space, agency and technology. It is
asserted that the process of globalization is leading to a new
production of space-time perceptions and practices where
localization and globalization is becoming increasingly important.
National space is being contested and nation states need to
perform differently.
