At a time of extraordinary challenges confronting the world, this
book analyses some of the profound changes occurring in the
development of cities and regions. It discusses the uncertainties
associated with the stalling of hyper-globalization and asks
whether this creates opportunities for resurgent regional economies
driven by local capabilities, resource efficiencies and domestic
production. Theory and evidence on socio-economic and environmental
transitions underway in many regions are brought together.
Implications of the shifting balance of global power towards
emerging economies in the East are explored, along with the
consequences of urbanization in the global South for politics and
democracy. Dilemmas surrounding migration are also discussed,
including whether incomers displace local workers and depress
wages, or bring benefits in the form of know-how, new technology
and investment. More integrative concepts of the region and
theories of regional development are analysed, recognising the role
of human capital, knowledge, innovation, finance, infrastructure
and institutions. This was originally published as a special issue
of Regional Studies.
