First published in 1999, this volume recognised how widespread
attention has been given to charting how the global rise in
investment flows has caused numerous changes in the operation of
economies - such as the globalisation of production and increasing
international economic interdependency. Less research has been made
on the role of government policy in promoting FDI. This book, based
on a report for the OECD Development Centre, examines the rising
competition between European governments to attract mobile
investment projects and its impact on the use of different policy
areas to influence FDI decisions.
This title was first published in 2002. Examining cluster
development policy in Europe and outlining its distinctive
features, this innovative text places it within the national
context of regional policy-making. It also identifies the features
supporting the successful development of industrial clusters and
provides a clear overview of cluster theory and policy practice
followed by seven key case studies on the history and operation of
different cluster policies in Europe. While there has been a number
of books on the theory of cluster development little research has
been published on policy. By filling this gap, this book will be of
interest to a policy-making audience as well as students and
researchers of regional economic development throughout Europe.

The competition for inward investment among regions and within and
between nations is intense, and the promotional agencies concerned
are increasingly innovative in their competitive strategies. This
book examines the new competition for inward investment and, in
particular, discusses the interconnections between localities that
this creates. Two key dimensions of this are pursued, with examples
from the EU, North America and the Far East. First, the book deals
with the new corporate investment dynamics such as time-based
competition and the increasing significance of repeat investment.
Second, the contributors explore the local and national
institutional dynamics of increasingly creative efforts to attract
mobile investments. These new corporate and institutional dynamics
raise important issues regarding local and national democracy, and
the sustainability of economic development. The New Competition for
Inward Investment is an inter-disciplinary book with an
international focus. As such, the book will appeal to scholars of
international business and especially those interested in the
economic dimensions of globalisation and the globalisation debate.
It will also be of interest to scholars and practitioners of
regional science and regional economic development, including
economic geographers and town planners.
