Introduction  by Kurt Dopfer
A NEW BRANCH: EVOLUTIONARY ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE
The last two decades have seen an explosion of research in evolutionary economics and related fields. There has been an upsurge in the publications
addressing evolutionary themes in economics, paralleled by the foundation of new journals, new academic societies and, last but not least, a reorientation
of the publication programmes of major publishing houses.
The potential of this knowledge stock with respect to its application to ssues of economic governance – in the line of an evolutionary economic overnance – has as yet received little attention in the literature.Evolutionary conomic governance can be defined as the study of the possibilities and
consequences of any external intervention into structure and processes of n evolving economic system. Specifically, evolutionary economic policy is the application of evolutionary governance to the economy as a whole.
