This book sheds new light on the role of industrial districts in
the industrial development of the past and present. Industrial
districts, which refer to the geographical concentration of
enterprises producing similar or closely related commodities in a
small area, play a significant role in the development of
manufacturing industries not only historically in Europe and Japan
but also at present in emerging East Asian economies, such as China
and Vietnam and low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The
book identifies similarities in the development patterns of
industrial districts in history and the present and analyzes the
reasons for these similarities. More specifically, the book
examines whether Marshallian agglomeration economies provide
sufficient explanations and seeks to deepen understanding about the
important factors that are missing. Despite the common issues
addressed by economic historians and development economists
regarding the advantages of industrial districts for industrial
development, discussion of these issues between the two groups of
researchers has been largely absent, or at best weak. The purpose
of this book is to integrate the results of case studies by
economic historians interested in France, Spain, and Japan and
those by development economists interested in the contemporary
industries still developing in China, Vietnam, Bangladesh,
Tanzania, and other countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
