Recenzje

’This book offers a stimulating examination of the way spatial economic systems develop and how networking considerations form an important part of this process. It provides a major contribution for those interested in the interface between economics and regional science.’ Professor Kenneth Button, George Mason University, USA ’...a work preceded by extensive research by the authors, amongst whom we can find many well-known names in the domains of Geography and Spatial Economy...’ Geo Crítica ’There is an appreciable logic to the structure of the contents, successively focusing on concepts (A), theoretical analysis (B), and empirical research and analysis (C & D). THese last two sections prove the versatility and great possibilities arising from the application of these studies...’ Geographicalia
