This important book considers the factors that influence and shape the competitive performance of regions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not just an issue of academic interest and debate, but also of increasing policy deliberation and action. However, as the readings in this book make clear, the very idea of regional competitiveness is itself complex and contentious. Many academics and policy makers have used the concept without fully considering what is meant by the term and how it can be measured. Policy formulation has tended to rush ahead of understanding and analysis, and the purpose of this book is to close this important gap in understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was previously published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eRegional Studies.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415512476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415512473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.38d","brand":"Ron Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522247520511,"sku":"9780415512473","price":68.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb208bdb-870a-482e-b42f-ff1104d7bd2a.jpg?v=1700156280","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/regional-competitiveness-ron-martin-9780415512473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
