Opis

Economic geographers increasingly consider the significance of history in shaping contemporary socio-economics, giving rise to the sub-field of Evolutionary Economic Geography (EEG). EEG has established itself as a promising, rapidly evolving research framework focusing on the driving forces of regional development across various scales, and its attempt to translate findings into public policy. This book advances the theoretical foundations of EEG, demonstrating how EEG utilises conceptual frameworks. Contributions point to future research avenues, attempting to build stronger ties between theory, empirics, and policy. This book was published as a special issue of Regional Studies.
