Description: "The aim of this book is to present a much-needed conceptualization of 'the learning region'. The editors scrutinize key concepts and issues surrounding this phenomenon, which are then discussed in the context of recent literature." "Providing theory development in the fields of innovation and regional science and economic geography, this multidisciplinary study will prove invaluable for students, academics and researchers. Regional policy makers will also find much to interest them within this book."--Jacket.
