Examining the current trends in regional economic development in Europe, Restructuring Industry and Territory explores ways in which the restructuring of industry and territorial development relate to each other, their emergent interdependency and role in economic development. The book argues that the structural and cultural features of regions play an important part in helping or hindering concerted policies for regional development. Using case studies from different industries in a variety of regions, the contributors show that the pressures for restructuring, such as internationalisation or even 'globalisation', have been mediated by formerly nationally rooted industries in Europe becoming increasingly integrated, due to the ongoing processes of technological and organisational innovation, and political regulation.
Examining late-1990s trends in regional economic development in Europe, this book explores the ways in which the restructuring of industry and territorial development relate to each other, their emergent interdependency and role in economic development. The book argues that the structural and cultural features of regions play an important part in helping or hindering concerted policies for regional development. It considers the industrial and regional institutional and policy responses to the problems caused by the interaction between restructuring industries and territorial development, and evaluates the latest ideas in institutional strategy and policy for local economic development in Europe. Finally, the book explores potential future routes to prosperity and regional economic development, providing alternative solutions to the fashion for raising industry and regional "competitiveness" in the face of the apparently inexorable "globalization" of the regional economic development.
