This timely Handbook addresses one of the most pertinent questions of the 21st century: why are some regions more economically resilient than others?Contributors provide a state-of-the-art collection on the meaning of resilience when applied to regional economies, offering a range of methodological approaches and rich empirical analyses of regions around the world. Chapters feature in depth examinations of regional resilience in such fields as policy practice, exports, economic shocks and supranational structural funds. Giving readers an insight into ways in which economic resilience is measured, this Handbook explores key theoretical debates and emerging pathways for the application of resilience in policy and practice. Comprehensive and deeply informative, this Handbook is crucial to researchers working in economic geography and regional studies who require insight into the breadth of debate on regional economic resilience. Practitioners and policy makers working in regional economic development will also benefit from its broad empirical approach to resilience.Contributors include: P. Benczur, E. Beqiraj, G. Bristow, J.

This insightful book provides an astute analysis of how resilient multiple regional economies across Europe were to the global economic crisis of 2008-9. Assessing the impact and geography of the crisis, this book offers a cross-comparative study of how regional economies were affected, as well as an exploration of the role of local and regional policy in influencing economic resilience.The different experiences seen across Europe throughout the economic crisis raise a number of important questions: why were some regions more resilient to the crisis than others? What is meant when discussing a resilient economy? How might local and regional policy-makers help support the resilience of their economies? The expert contributors take these crucial questions into account, presenting detailed case studies using quantitative and qualitative research data to analyse how the crisis affected various European regions.Economic Crisis and the Resilience of Regions will be an essential read for academics, researchers, and policymakers interested in the concept of regional economic resilience, its measurement, and the factors influencing it, as well as for analysts interested in the geographical impact of the 2008-9 global economic crisis.Contributors include: G.
