The emphasis of this book lies on emerging hypotheses, new methods and
theoretic developments in the field of regional economic development.
A further amplification is provided with a diverse set of cases extending this
new way of thinking at the theory and methods level into policy and practice. The case
studies range from a focus on Europe, Central and East Asia and North America.
Considerable emphasis is laid on the role of entrepreneurship and innovation as drivers of
economic growth and development on the sub-national regional level.
