The report suggests how government leaders can generate growth in regions, and why some regions grow faster than others and often in ways that confound economic theory. Looking at regions that
have and have not grown and the policies that ruled them, the researchers found that what matters is not just a concentration of resources, but how those resources are used, how different
actors interact, and how synergies are exploited. The topics are understanding and explaining regional growth, a more effective approach to promoting sustainable regional growth, policy
implementation and governance, and patterns as seen in 27 countries. No index is provided. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
