{"product_id":"the-theory-practice-and-potential-kelly-vodden-9780815365211","title":"The Theory, Practice and Potential of Regional Development: The Case of Canada","description":"\u003cp\u003eCanadian regional development today involves multiple actors operating within nested scales from local to national and even international levels. Recent approaches to making sense of this complexity have drawn on concepts such as multi-level governance, relational assets, integration, innovation, and learning regions. These new regionalist concepts have become increasingly global in their formation and application, yet there has been little critical analysis of Canadian regional development policies and programs or the theories and concepts upon which many contemporary regional development strategies are implicitly based.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume offers the results of five years of cutting-edge empirical and theoretical analysis of changes in Canadian regional development and the potential of new approaches for improving the well-being of Canadian communities and regions, with an emphasis on rural regions. It situates the Canadian approach within comparative experiences and debates, offering the opportunity for broader lessons to be learnt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to policy-makers and practitioners across Canada, and in other jurisdictions where lessons from the Canadian experience may be applicable. At the same time, the volume contributes to and updates regional development theories and concepts that are taught in our universities and colleges, and upon which future research and analysis will build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly Vodden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815365217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815365211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Kelly Vodden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120326242559,"sku":"9780815365211","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_968c36a7-f7c3-4e57-9d9b-29cf19839e79.jpg?v=1687413727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-theory-practice-and-potential-kelly-vodden-9780815365211","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
