| description | In this Perspective piece, we forward a case for considering geographies of interdependence in understanding and implementing Responsible Innovation. At the core of this framing is an emphasis on how innovation occurring in specific places often depends on, and generates impacts in, places elsewhere. With respect to innovation, this involves taking into account the spaces, relations and networks that such activities dynamically depend on and actively produce. With respect to responsibility, this involves considering the consequences of particular innovation investments and trajectories across specific places, both near and far. Taken together, they highlight how considering interconnected geographical dynamics enlarges and enriches the stakes and commitments of Responsible Innovation. Mining in Australia is analyzed as a case study to demonstrate how tracing geographies of interdependence may contribute to conceptualizing and enacting Responsible Innovation in novel ways. |
