Significant historical and geographical differences account for
the many processes and trajectories of regional development in East
Asia. These historical and geographical specificities in East Asia
have prompted serious re-examination of existing theories in
regional development, and in particular the "new regionalism"
approach associated with such ideas as the learning region,
institutional thickness, relational assets, and regional innovation
system. This book brings together a group of leading researchers
specializing in local and regional development in East Asian
economies. Through in-depth empirical studies of specific regions
and localities, these authors offer fresh and innovative
perspectives on how regions evolve and develop over time in the
world's most dynamic macro-regional economy. In particular, their
work points to the critical importance of local and trans-local
processes in shaping regional development trajectories.
The book is timely given that the debate on the nature and
dynamics of regional development in both academic and policy
circles has now moved on. From the earlier focus on endogenous
regional assets (such as localized networks of association and
trust), scholars and policymakers are now analyzing the complex
relationship between economic globalization and regional change.
This high calibre collection makes a significant contribution to
the literature on local and regional development in Asia and
provides an important resource for researchers, students, and
policy makers interested in East Asia.
This book was published as a special issue of Regional
Studies.
