Regional economic development has experienced considerable dynamism
over recent years. Perhaps the most notable cases were the rise of
China and India to emergent country status by the turn of the
millennium. With time now for hindsight, this book identifies some
of the key forces behind these development successes, namely
agglomeration, clusters and entrepreneurship.The expert
contributors explore these three forces, which form the basis of
much scholarly work in new economic geography and endogenous growth
theory and policy. Here, academics from across Europe, North
America, Asia and Australia consider the role of agglomeration,
clusters and entrepreneurship in regional economic development
within a global market context. The book presents solid conceptual
and methodological contributions to the growing body of knowledge
that extends these theoretical concepts, and prescribes policy and
practical applications. Relevant case studies underpin the detailed
empirical analyses. Academics, students, researchers and
policymakers in the fields of entrepreneurship, regional
development and regional science will find this book to be an
enlightening read. Contributors: L. Achtenhagen, J. Bastesen, I.
