The notion of proximity is increasing in popularity in economic and
geographic literature, and is now commonly used by scholars in
regional science and spatial economics. Few academic works,
however, have explored the link between regional development and
proximity relations. This comprehensive book redresses the balance
with its assessment of the role of, and obstacles caused by,
proximity relations in regional development processes. The expert
contributors illustrate that the value of integrating proximity
into the regional development analysis framework is due its
plasticity and ability to draw connections between spatial,
economic and social dimensions. Possible changes for regional and
territorial policies are also an outcome of this integration. These
areas are addressed via four main paradigms: Proximity and regional
development Spatial innovation processes Networks and proximity
relations Place-based strategies and proximity relations. Students,
academics, researchers and regional development practitioners with
an interest in regional proximity will find this highly original
book to be an illuminating read. Contributors: A. Bailly, P.A.
