  • "This book provides a wide ranging review of current research and thinking about the spatial context of technological change. It brings together theoretical pieces of work, methodological developments, empirical evidence from differing national contexts, and discussions of policy formulation and implementation at a range of spatial scales. The book is divided into four parts. The first deals with theoretical and conceptual issues concerning technological change in regional and city systems and the role of technology in less developed countries and regions. Part two deals with a selection of methodological issues. Part three presents empirical evidence from a range of national contexts. Part four covers policy issues from the supra-national to the local or metropolitan scale. The book covers a broad range of essential concepts with treatments from different perspectives and disciplines. It should therefore appeal to a wide audience."
  • "This book represents a selection of contributions to the Regional Science Association, European Summer Institute, held at Arco, Lake of Garda, Italy, from 17th to 23rd July 1988 on the theme of 'Theories and policies of technological development at the local level'. As such it forms a complementary volume to the collection of invited papers entitled 'The Spatial Context of Technological Development', edited by Professors Riccardo Cappellin and Peter Nijk.amp, and published by Avebury/Gower. The Summer Institute covered a broad range of themes and contributions from over 100 researchers. It has therefore not been our intention to represent or replicate these themes directly, but to provide as wide an international coverage of current research in regional science in the field of technological change as possible. The papers to be found in this book are drawn from the European Community, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, North America and elsewhere. Inevitably, as the book was to be published in English, most of the editorial work has been undertaken at the Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies at Newcastle University. In so doing, we have attempted to standardize the English as far as possible, whilst trying not to lose the characteristics of the styles of the individual authors."
