Synopsis

This volume proposes a theory of how regions have sustained their economic viability in the era of multinational corporations. Rather than analyzing economic systems in terms of their mechanics such as inputs, outputs, prices and technology, this work views them as systems for co-ordinating human actions and relationships. Reconceptualizing the role of learning, technology and local institutions in development, Storper highlights the key role of regional economics as building blocks of the increasingly connected world.

Media Reviews
... a major contribution both to regional science and modern social science. It treats in an integrated way the major themes of regional economics: industrial districts, urbanization and globalization. The approach is interdisciplinary, and the author succeeds in bringing together in his own original theoretical framework major elements from the most up-to-date theoretical debates in economics and sociology ... The book will certainly become a classic among regional economists. Bengt-Aake Lundvall, Department of Business Studies, Aalborg University
