Reviews / Votes
"Moisio's empirical curiosity - to say nothing of his theoretical depth along with a mature representation of multiple literatures - allows him to integrate a potentially complex universe of topics and concerns without reducing the overall portrait into a blur of colours sometimes generated by advocates of 'assemblage' thinking.""Moisio is not only offering a fresh reading - an advanced reinterpretation - of the knowledge-based economy; he is offering a fresh reading of geopolitics itself [...] As he puts it in chapter 1, what we need is a new 'political geography of economic geographies' "
"Moisio's book ultimately helps us to consider future research projects and policy efforts focused on the socio-economic conditions that crack and divide rather than bind and unite. A very fine scholarly effort indeed - and well deserving of a wide readership."
- Yonn Dierwechter (2018): Geopolitics of the knowledge-based economy, Geografiska Annaler: Series B, Human Geography, DOI: 10.1080/04353684.2018.1558865
"The book is compact and complex: in 182 pages Geopolitics of the Knowledge-based Economy presents a compelling interpretation on how space, economy and politics intertwine in the early 21st Century, and how a particular economic imaginary has become central in exercising social power through manipulating expectations on the future."
- Heikki Sirvio, Society and Space.
"This book could be a starting point for anyone interested in going deeper into the meaning of the knowledge society. Its eight chapters aim to unmask and clarify the geopolitics of knowledge-based economies."
"Overall, the book is an important starting point not only for researchers but also for economics and geography students, as well as policy-makers who want to delve deeply into the meaning and consequences of the knowledge-based economy and the politics needed to enhance knowledge societies."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
