The so-called ‘Innovation Space’ defines a funding umbrella around a specific bioeconomy subfield and delegates authority of decision-making on new grants and members to the initially funded consortium. In this paper, we explore the extent to which one Innovation Space focusing on bio-based textiles experienced knowledge cross-fertilization between distinct projects. We propose a typology of boundary-spanning knowledge relationships and apply a mixed relational methods approach to empirically assess the potential for knowledge cross-fertilization and, hence, policy-induced collaboration in the textile bioeconomy. Despite its recent emergence, we find incidence of boundary-spanning learning relations across projects and sectors (science–industry) since inception of the Innovation Space. Members with permanent or temporary geographical co-location, and those receiving referrals from colleagues, were more likely to engage in knowledge exchange than other members. Project managers were involved in two-thirds of boundary-spanning, whereas similar relationships between only technical members were rare. Additionally, analysis of network robustness shows that learning across project boundaries was vulnerable to already low membership fluctuation. The findings suggest that Innovation Spaces are a policy instrument that fosters knowledge cross-fertilization beyond the confines of bounded projects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100053"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145683848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The circular economy (CE) concept is widely discussed as an approach to rethinking resource use and minimising waste and energy. Only recently have geographers begun advancing this field, calling for a deeper understanding of how, where, and why circular economies emerge and thrive across various spatial scales. Informed by the geography of sustainability transitions literature, this paper employs a systematic literature review of 52 papers published between 2018 and 2024 to address two aims: First, we provide critical reflections into understandings of CE for the FW sector. We then explore the question in how far contextual and spatial aspects have been considered in the literature on implementing and maintaining CE of FW. We focus on the issue in urban settings as an increasingly important sink of food as urbanisation increases on a global scale. The findings reveal a narrow and largely uncritical understanding of the CE, often framed as technological or managerial fixes rather than systemic transformations. Potential negative consequences, such as the commodification of food waste and the reinforcement of existing inequalities, are rarely considered. The literature also overemphasises public sector actors and often overlooks the contributions of social enterprises, start-ups and community initiatives. Moreover, we find a distinct focus on the material flow of FW through urban spaces, while the role of actor relationships and networks for the CE, including urban-rural linkages, are largely absent from current debates.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100052"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145683782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Less has been said about the ‘consumer end’ of these technologies (e.g. the purchase, sale, and exchange of cryptocurrencies). The present paper makes a preliminary attempt to address this gap in the literature by examining cryptocurrency ATMs (CATMs) – one of numerous ‘points of contact’ between ‘the virtual’ and ‘the material’ within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Drawing inspiration from literature on FinTech-inflected financialization of everyday life and ‘financial democratization’, the authors use quantitative data to demonstrate that cryptocurrencies, via CATMs, are increasingly embedded into quotidian spaces, but in an uneven, variegated fashion. This implies that CATMs are an as-yet specialized financial innovation, but which might be disproportionately encountered by particular social groups. Building on this observation, the authors argue that CATMs, like other forms of FinTech, might represent another area in which user-interface design is used to encourage the use of ‘fringe’ financial products among marginalized populations. The article concludes by summarizing this research and indicating potential directions for future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100047"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144605565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we empirically assess the benefits and costs of dollarisation, finding that, despite some theoretical claims, the benefits remain questionable in hindsight, while the costs for the country were relatively low. Second, we explore Bitcoin's role as legal tender, proposing its understanding as a form of International Money and its potential in facilitating remittances. Building on this, we show that the existing dollarisation and a ‘soft adoption’ of Bitcoin contributed to a comparatively low risk and low associated costs of introducing Bitcoin as a second legal tender. Third, we situate these developments within the broader geopolitical context, where the global monetary and financial system and the hegemony of the USD (the current World Money) are increasingly being repoliticised. In this light, the adoption of Bitcoin can be seen as a trial-and-error, unsuccessful at best, attempt by the Salvadoran government to enhance its leverage, improve remittance flows, and provide a low-cost escape valve in an evolving global landscape.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100045"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its implications for power dynamics, governance and spatial reconfigurations in global production networks (GPNs) remain underexplored. This paper examines the adoption of blockchain technology in global supply chains and reviews its associated benefits and barriers. The paper highlights three main arenas where applying key concepts of GPN theory can help us understand how digital technologies, such as blockchain, reshape the geography and organisation of production. First, focusing on the different dimensions of power could provide a nuanced exploration of blockchain’s impact on power relations between actors in GPNs. Second, the field would benefit from an analysis of the interplay between digital- and physical space acknowledging the human factor in narratives of digital transformation. Third, there is a need to evaluate blockchain’s role as a potential technology of globalisation, changing the nature of global production and trade. For GPN theory to remain relevant, it must integrate the effects of digital technologies on actor strategies, power relations, and uneven development within global production systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100043"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143917477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
