About this book

While Storper (1995) famously acclaimed that regional economies have resurged at the centre of contemporary analyses on economic development - and this claim has been echoed in various forms in the course of the past decade - it is still frustratingly unclear why the region should be so central in improving innovativeness and productivity growth (cf. Gertler 2003, p. 132).
