Shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic of industrial
clusters, with a particular focus on clustering in the UK, and
brings together a chronological coverage of the phenomenon.
Emphasises how knowledge is generated and disseminated across a
cluster, and whether these processes stimulated innovation and
consequently longer-term sustainability. Of interest to
international researchers, academics, and students in the fields of
business and management history, innovation, industrialisation, and
clusters.
This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the field of
comparative politics or comparative government.
The authors discuss the main theories of the state, focusing
upon state stability and state performance. The ideas of scholars
such as Weber, Bryce, Finer, Lipset, Dahl and Lijphart are
addressed, and their analyses of the impact of a variety of factors
upon the state - including social structure, economic factors and
institutional conditions - are examined. The theories are then
formulated into a set of theoretical models that are tested by
means of data from 130 countries (all those countries with
populations larger than one million).
The authors present new findings concerning the sources of state
stability and state performance. They argue that both phenomena are
related to specific but different economic factors. In addition,
the book examines the impact of many other factors: social
heterogeneity, religion, political institutions, experience of
military government, state structure, ideology and political
leadership.
This is a major new work in the field of comparative politics
which will provide students with a guide to the literature as well
as a new approach to the subject.
