'A timely and highly relevant contribution. Congratulations are due
to the editors and contributing authors for producing such a
valuable work.' - Leo-Paul Dana, Princeton University 'This is a
comprehensive and ground-breaking volume on the complex
relationships between enterprise, community and neighbourhood. The
editors have succeeded in bringing together a wide variety of
scholars who are at the cutting edge of research and theorising in
this field. The book presents new and significant research findings
and throws important new light on the contribution of
entrepreneurship to community development at a local level.' -
Peter Somerville, University of Lincoln, UK Despite the growing
evidence on the importance of the neighbourhood, entrepreneurship
studies have largely neglected the role of neighbourhoods. This
book addresses the nexus between entrepreneurship, neighbourhoods
and communities, confirming not only the importance of `the local'
in entrepreneurship, but also filling huge gaps in the knowledge
base regarding this tripartite relationship. Interdisciplinary
chapters explore the importance of the neighbourhood and local
social networks for individual entrepreneurs, highlighting the
importance of `the local' in entrepreneurship across several
countries. Considering entrepreneurship as a community-based,
rather than individual, effort, key contributions explore how
entrepreneurship can influence neighbourhoods and communities, in
particular through entrepreneurial actions of residents joining
forces. The book critically examines the ways in which
entrepreneurship can benefit, shape and transform neighbourhoods,
particularly those areas affected by social deprivation and
poverty. Finally, it outlines a research agenda to further extend
the scientific and policy-relevant knowledge on the relationships
between entrepreneurship, neighbourhoods and communities. As a
response to the international call for an interdisciplinary
approach to entrepreneurship research and neighbourhood and
community studies, this book will engage scholars and researchers
from entrepreneurship studies, urban geography, housing studies,
political studies, sociology and urban planning. Contributors
