Much of our understanding of local economic development is based on
large urban agglomerations as nodes of innovation and competitive
advantage, connecting territories to global value chains. However,
this framework cannot so easily be applied to peripheral regions
and secondary cities in either the Global South or the North. This
book proposes an alternative way of looking at local economic
development based on the idea of fragile governance and three
variables: associations and networks; learning processes; and
leadership and conflict management in six Latin American peripheral
regions. The case studies illustrate the challenges of governance
in small and intermediate cities in Latin America, and showcase
strategies that are being used to achieve a more resilient and
territorial vision of local economic development. This book will be
of interest to students and researchers of local economic
development, urban and regional studies, and political economy in
Latin America as well as to policy-makers and practitioners
interested in local and regional economic development policy.
