In the last few years research on regional development has
increased dramatically. Real-world concerns have - to a certain
extent - driven this scientific concern of interest. The field has
been given a big boost in particular by the process of European
integration and the attempt to understand how this deeper
integration will work at the regional level. This volume makes a
modest attempt to reconsider the issue of regional development
mainly from an European perspective and in the light of the
transition of society towards a knowledge-driven economy. It
originated from the Thirteenth European Advanced Studies Institute
in Regional Science, held in Istanbul, July 2-8, 2000. In producing
the book, as friends and colleagues, we have benefited from the
possibility of exchange of ideas and experience. We have also
received useful assistance from the referees who have offered
observations and advice in their written reports. The soundness of
their comments has contributed immensely to the quality of the
volume. We should, in addition, like to acknowledge the timely
manner in which contributing authors have responded to our
requests, and their willingness to follow the stringent editorial
guidelines.
The book reconsiders the issue of regional development from a European perspective in light of transition of society towards a knowledge-driven economy. It integrates research findings from a broad area including: economics, transportation, geography and regional science. In particular, it offers insights about innovation systems, learning regions and human resources; competitiveness and cooperation; mobility and transport infrastructure and regional development and policy. The contributions provide an excellent coverage of current conceptual and theoretical developments, and valuable insights from both empirical and conceptual work. Broad research coverage makes it invaluable reading for researchers and professionals in the subject area, as well as for graduate students of economic and social sciences.
