Regional issues are increasingly debated across the social
sciences. In an age of globalization, the region has come to matter
perhaps more than before. In business, companies orient themselves
to engage in regional environments to build capabilities and create
critical mass in their vicinity. In the world of policy, almost
one-third of the EU budget is spent on regional policy. Yet in
spite of this the differences between regions that do well and
those that do not are increasing in both Europe and the United
States. In recent years, evolutionary economic geography has done
much to create a framework to inform regional policy and academic
work. Using its insights, Martin Henning explores why economic
growth and transformation is an essentially regionally based and
spatially dependent process. The book offers an accessible
introduction to the core ideas involved in understanding the
dynamics of regional economies and draws on case studies to
illuminate these ideas in practice.
