Description
This study sets out a new approach to development stressing the role of territory and economic milieu in the modes of organization of production. The editors propose that local development should be based on local resources rather than the old way of attracting in external firms with financial incentives. All papers are written by Southern European academics it being here that endogenous patterns primarily function.
