Routledge Remaking Regional Economies - Economic Geography Book

Winner of the 2009 Regional Studies Association Best Book Award, Remaking Regional Economies: Power, Labor and Firm Strategies provides a deep look into the changing character of the global economy. Since the 1980s, the regional scale has become a central concept for understanding economic shifts across multiple disciplines. This text serves as both a critique of "new regionalism" and a return to the "regional question." It addresses essential concerns regarding equity and uneven development. By examining the relationship between power, labor, and firm strategies, this work offers a necessary perspective for those studying how regions organize and respond to economic change. Whether you are researching business management, industrial relations, economic geography, sociology, or planning, this book provides a framework for interpreting modern economic transitions. It is an essential resource for academics and researchers looking to understand the complex dynamics of regional economic structures.
