Description
First published in 1999, the main feature of this book is its multidisciplinary nature, since the book focuses on the complexity of spatial/ economic networks from several methodological points of view. For this purpose both theoretical and empirical works have been included. The aim of the book is to provide an updated and fresh look at the mentioned issue with innovative and creative papers coming from leading experts belonging to different disciplines. Therefore the book could be considered as an expert and critical guide - through different methodological approaches - to the topic of (complex) networks in the space-economy. All the contributions provide innovative and in some cases provocative elements to the understanding of networks and development over space.
Reviews / Votes
'This book offers a stimulating examination of the way spatial economic systems develop and how networking considerations form an important part of this process. It provides a major contribution for those interested in the interface between economics and regional science.' Professor Kenneth Button, George Mason University, USA '...a work preceded by extensive research by the authors, amongst whom we can find many well-known names in the domains of Geography and Spatial Economy...' Geo CrA-tica 'There is an appreciable logic to the structure of the contents, successively focusing on concepts (A), theoretical analysis (B), and empirical research and analysis (C & D). THese last two sections prove the versatility and great possibilities arising from the application of these studies...' GeographicaliaMore details
