Description :
In the knowledge based economy, knowledge production has become increasingly important for the competitiveness of firms, cities and regions and as an explanatory factor of spatial economic dynamics. The concept of trust remains often blurred and vaguely defined in much of the literature. The paper broadens the understanding of trust in local knowledge production by suggesting an approach to trust as an inter-personal feeling to be analysed on three interrelated scales depending on the socio-spatial contexts of the actors. Trust in diverse socio-spatial contexts takes on different forms at different scales. This is illustrated by a case study of knowledge production.
