Series Details:
(formerly Regional Development and Public Policy)
In today's new globalised, knowledge-driven and networked world, regions, cities and city-regions have assumed heightened significance as the interconnected nodes of economic, social and cultural production, as sites of new modes of economic governance, and as spaces where the processes of technological change, institutional innovation and policy experimentation are being played out. This book series brings together incisive and critically engaged international and interdisciplinary research on this resurgence of cities and regions, and should be of interest to geographers, economists, sociologists, political scientists and cultural scholars, as well as to policy-makers involved in regional and urban development.
