The authors of this comprehensive book provide a detailed rationale
and original theory for the study of leadership and institutional
factors, including entrepreneurship, in the growth and development
of cities and regions. They demonstrate why leadership,
institutions and entrepreneurship can - and indeed do - play a
crucial enhancing role as key elements in the process of regional
endogenous growth. The so-called 'new growth theory' emphasizes
endogenous processes. While some of the literature refers to
leadership and institutional factors, there has been little
analysis of the explicit roles these factors play in the growth and
development of cities and regions. This book remedies that gap,
beginning with a brief overview of the evolution of the 'new growth
theory' in regional economic development, in which the emphasis is
on endogenous factors. The book then discusses leadership and
institutional factors in that context, creating a new path for
understanding regional economic development processes. Multiple
case studies from different parts of the world illustrate the
theoretical concepts. Students and scholars in regional
development, planning and public policy will find this volume
invaluable.
