This article uses a relational lens to explore the conflict between the regulatory state and a leading food retailer seeking store expansion within one catchment in south-east England over an eight year period. The research highlights the relational power geometries which play out in context between regulators and a regulated corporate firm to emphasise the role of power, resources, and scale. The research teases out how the power of the state to uphold an interpretation of market rules is compromised by a lack of responsiveness compared to both the proactive and reactive tactics of the well-resourced corporate retailer. It recognises how multiple regulatory agents of the state with divergent goals, sometimes situated across different spatial scales of governance, can produce markedly different judgements resulting in outcomes that are not in the public interest. Such situations require swift and coherent regulatory responses and can reveal the need for changes to the organisation of the regulatory infrastructure itself.

“…a raw material or knowledge) linked to a production system. This definition of the resource is in line with institutional approaches (Ayres, 1943;De Gregori, 1987;Hunker, 1964;Zimmermann, 1951) and with Raffestin (1980) as well as the relational approach of resources described by Bathelt and Glückler (2005). It also follows the so-called 'approche patrimoniale' (cultural heritage approach) (De Mongolfier and Natali, 1987;Ollagnon, 1984).…”

Abstract:The innovative milieu approach consists of exploring how and to which extent local environments contribute to the coherence and the competitiveness of production systems. In line with this work, the present paper explores the articulation of high value added services creation, regional development, and natural and cultural resources evolution. Based on conceptual and empirical research, the central issue of the paper is the link between the resources (understood here as relation processes between objects and production systems), the production systems and the markets in terms of co-ordination in time and space. In this research, innovation dynamics and the innovative milieu appear as key elements in the creation and the maintaining of material resources (landscape, soil, etc.) as well as non-material resources (know-how, knowledge, cultural resources, etc.). The paper argues that innovative milieus play an important role in the identification and the implementation of new resources based on existing objects.

“…Some scholars push this relational thinking as far as arguing that the basic assumption of a relational social science is the "anticategorical imperative" (Emirbayer & Goodwin, 1994, p. 1414. It stipulates understanding social phenomena such as identity, power, conflict, social capital, and knowledge as expressions and consequences of the positions and associations that actors enjoy or endure within systems of social interdependencies and relations rather than as substantialist, monadic entities with predetermined characteristics (Bathelt & Glückler, 2005). In a relational perspective the focus is on individual and collective opportunities for action, and these opportunities are thought of as being facilitated by the specific context and structure of social relations.…”

The book series on Knowledge and Space explores the nature of human knowledge from a geographical perspective. How to create, share, and adopt new knowledge is a core question in the social sciences. Processes of learning and knowledge creation are the result of social practice and always take place in space and in specific geographical contexts. The eleventh volume is the outcome of the symposium entitled "Topographies and Topologies of Knowledge" in the series of Klaus Tschira Symposia on Knowledge and Space held at the Villa Bosch Studio in Heidelberg. This book focuses on the conceptual and empirical intersections of the geographical and network dimensions of social practice in accounting for the creation and reproduction of knowledge. By taking up this dialogue between the fields of geography and social network studies, the book is conceived to bridge a research gap between two analytic perspectives that until recently have developed more in parallel to each other than in mutual exchange between scholars. The intention of its chapters is to broaden and deepen understanding of the specific characteristics not only of space and connectivity but also of their mutual and interactive effect on knowledge creation.
