Description
This pioneering volume proposes a compelling new theory of how regions have sustained their economic viability in the era of multinational corporations. Unlike traditional approaches, which analyze economic systems in terms of their mechanics (inputs, outputs, prices, technology, etc.), this work views them as systems for coordinating human actions and relationships. Reconceptualizing the role of learning, technology, and local institutions in development, Storper illuminates the key role of regional economies as building blocks of the increasingly connected world.
Table of Contents
Regions as Relations and Conventions - The Resurgence of Regional Economies, 10 Years Later - Regional Economies as Relational Assets - Evolution and Territorial Development - The Evolution of Regional Specificities - Crossing Industrial Divides in a Region - Products, Technologies and Territories - Innovation as Collective Action: Conventions, Products, Technologies and Territories - Regional Worlds of Production: Conventions of Learning and Innovation in the Technology Districts of France, Italy and the United States - Globalization and Territorial Specificity - Territories, Flows, and Hierarchies in the Global Economy - The Limits to Globalization: Technology Districts and International Trade - The World of the City: Local Relations in Global Economy - Regional Institutions, Territorial Orders - Institutions of the Learning Economy - Conclusion: Technology, Firm Strategies and Territorial Order

Description
This pioneering volume proposes a compelling new theory of how regions have sustained their economic viability in the era of multinational corporations. Unlike traditional approaches, which analyze economic systems in terms of their mechanics (inputs, outputs, prices, technology, etc.), this work views them as systems for coordinating human actions and relationships. Reconceptualizing the role of learning, technology, and local institutions in development, Storper illuminates the key role of regional economies as building blocks of the increasingly connected world.
A thought-provoking and timely work, The Regional World carries resounding implications for educators, students, and policymakers in economic geography, economic sociology, and international business. It is an essential primary or supplementary text for graduate-level courses on economic, regional, or industrial development and policy and international business.
