Opis

This title was first published in 2002. This innovative text places cluster development policy in Europe within the national context of regional policy-making. While there has been a number of books on the theory of cluster development little research has been published on policy. By filling this gap, this book will interest policy makers as well as students and researchers of regional economic development and politics throughout Europe.
