Beskrivning

This wide-ranging Handbook is the first major compilation of the theoretical and empirical research that is forging the new and exciting paradigm of evolutionary economic geography. The book's distinguished contributors set out the theoretical, methodological and empirical foundations of an evolutionary perspective on the economic landscape. In so doing, they explore the interplay between organizational dynamics, industrial dynamics and space; analyze the nature and spatial evolution of networks; address the evolution of institutions in territorial contexts; and explore the evolution of agglomerations and clusters. This original reference work will undoubtedly play an important and formative role in influencing the future research agenda of evolutionary economic geography. It will strongly appeal to scholars, researchers and students in economic geography, regional economics, evolutionary economics, industrial economics, management and organizational studies, and related fields.

Recensioner i media

‘The Handbook of Evolutionary Economic Geography is a comprehensive collection of topics in the newly emerging paradigm of evolutionary economic geography. . . The introduction, like those in any good collection, links up the papers in this Handbook by the basis of an evolutionary thinking behind the wide scales of topics. . . the 24 articles included in The Handbook of Evolutionary Economic Geography have a wide coverage of varying angles, all of which shed light on this emerging paradigm from different aspects. . . this book has definitely achieved its goal of ''playing a formative role in influencing the future research agenda in this area''. It is therefore highly recommended to researchers who want to dip further into evolutionary economic geography or those who simply want to get an overall profile of its development.’
