Regional Economic Development and History Regions and Cities Series
Coordonnateurs : Molema Marijn, Svensson Sara
Regional Studies is inextricably intertwined with history. Cultural and institutional legacies inform choices between different policy options, meaning that the past plays a crucial role in how we think about regional economic development, planning and policy.
Through a selection of accessible theoretical, methodological and empirical chapters, this book explores the connections between regional development and history. Drawing on the expertise of scholars in several disciplines, it links history to topics such as behavioural geography, interdependence, divergence and regional and urban policy.
This innovative book will be of interest to researchers across regional studies, planning, economic geography and economic history.
