Cover The Life Cycle of Clusters
The Life Cycle of Clusters
A Policy Perspective
Editors: Dirk Fornahl and Robert Hassink
One-size-fits-all cluster policies have been rightly criticized in the literature. One promising approach is to focus cluster policies on the specific needs of firms depending on the stage of development (emergence, growth, sustainment or decline) their cluster is in. In this highly insightful book, these stage-specific cluster policies are analysed and evaluated. Moreover, several chapters also focus on smart specialization policies to promote regional development by taking into account the emergence and adaptation of clusters and industries.

Cover Regional Competitiveness and Smart Specialization in Europe
Regional Competitiveness and Smart Specialization in Europe
Place-based Development in International Economic Networks
Mark Thissen, Frank van Oort, Dario Diodato, and Arjan Ruijs
Regions economically differ from each other – they compete in different products and geographical spaces, exhibit different strengths and weaknesses, and provide different possibilities for growth and development. What fosters growth in one region may hamper it in another. This highly original book presents an accessible methodology for identifying competitors and their particular circumstances in Europe, discusses regional competitiveness from a conceptual perspective and explores both past and future regional development policies in Europe.
