In present digital times the focus is on globalization and the
dynamics and complexities that it creates. However, in spite of
being dominated by technology the world remains populated by human
beings practising a localized everyday life. This contrast should
challenge every researcher who is concerned with business and
societal development and how that is contingent upon the
institutional and cultural (national) context. In this book,
Swedish researchers reflect upon entrepreneurship as a possible
mediator between local and global economic and social concerns.
Using as a point of departure the tensions between a functional,
footloose rationale and a territorial rationale tied to place, the
authors provide different aspects on regional development in a
globalised world. A shared concern is the importance of recognizing
the many appearances of entrepreneurship that brings it beyond
being an innovative force in the market. The book thus presents
different strategies and tactics for pursuing localized economic
development and it also critically reviews adopted public support
programmes and measures of the (local) business climate. The
conclusive message is that only by bridging the functional and
territorial views will it be possible to sustain, and possibly
enhance, economic and social life in local places as well as in our
shared world. This book was originally published as a special issue
of European Planning Studies.
