The field of regional development is subject to an ever-increasing
multiplicity of concepts and theories seeking to explain uneven
competitiveness. In particular, economic geographers and spatial
economists have rapidly developed the theoretical tools by which to
approach such analyses. The aim of this Handbook is to take stock
of regional competitiveness and complementary concepts as a means
of presenting a state-of-the-art discussion of the advanced
theories, perspectives and empirical explanations that help make
sense of the determinants of uneven development across regions.
Drawing on an international field of leading scholars, the book is
assembled and organized so that readers can first learn of the
theoretical underpinnings of regional competitiveness and
development theory, before moving on to deeper discussions of key
factors and principal elements, the emergence of allied concepts,
empirical applications, and the policy context. International in
its scope, including global empirical analysis, the book is a
definitive resource in terms of providing access to some of the
seminal research and thinking on regional competitiveness. This
contemporary Handbook is an ideal reference for students and
academics in the fields of economic geography and spatial
economics. It will also appeal to policymakers and other
stakeholders involved in regional economic development.
