Ebook: Regionalization of Globalized Innovation: Locations for advanced industrial development and disparities in participation (Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy, 27)

While processes of innovation are increasingly realised globally, they can also take a highly regionalised expression. In this book, the global networks that link regions are set against the local aspects of innovation. With contributions from international experts, this book examines local 'Islands of Innovation' where research and industrial expertise are concentrated, along with areas where traditional industrial regions have passed through a process of innovative restructuring.
