This book proposes the theory and practice of endogenous development that helps to analyze economic dynamics and works within a context of continuous economic, technological, and institutional transformations. This approach will help shape both our understanding and response in times of economic crisis.

The book also focuses on the evolutionary approach, analyzing development forces that condition the capital accumulation process. It contends that entrepreneurial development and the formation of firm networks, the diffusion of innovations and knowledge, the urban development of the territory, and the change and adaptation of the institutions are mechanisms that stimulate capital accumulation, and thereby, economic development.

The beginning of the twenty first century has been characterized by the expansion of economics, politics and institutional relations. Using international case studies, this book illustrates the local answer to the challenge of increasing competition.
The book introduces the idea of endogenous development, identifying the theoretical roots and defining its main features. It then goes on to indicate how this concept can be used to understand economic dynamics, and to show how the concept is relevant in economic analysis and policy implementation in times of globalization.
This work will be of essential interest to academics and policy-makers in planning and development economics.
