Local and Regional Development, 2nd Edition, provides a critical and integrated analysis of local and regional development theory, institutions, and policy. The text examines how subnational territories pursue prosperity and well-being amid disruptive economic, political, and environmental shifts.
Coverage addresses structural transitions driven by knowledge-intensive capitalism, international financial volatility, and state retrenchment. The volume also considers changing systems of multi-level governance alongside ecological sustainability, climate change, and resource constraints.
By uniting multidisciplinary theories with empirical evidence from across the global North and South, the book explores what forms of development are pursued and whom they serve.
