Testo aggiuntivo
"Nearly half a century ago, Walter Isard, the founder of regional science, suggested in his seminal book Location and Space Economy two promising approaches to further development of economic geography: the monopolistic competition approach and the evolutionary approach. As is well known, since the late 1980s, the monopolistic competition approach has been vigorously explored in the New Economic Geography. Then, the exploration of evolutionary approach started in the late 1990s, following the development of evolutionary economics and complexity theory. Although it is still in its infancy, evolutionary approach has been contributing significantly to the enrichment of economic geography, adding new perspectives to the longterm process of structural change in space and in time, In Evolutionary Economic Geography, Miroslav N. Jovanovic´ presents in lucid manner the state of arts in economic geography with a special focus on evolutionary approach. The book covers not only theory but also regional policy and location of production in the context of global economy. I enjoyed reading this wonderfully informative book and learned a lot, and so will you."
