The Re-Emergence of Regional Economies? The Mythical Geography of Flexible Accumulation
Abstract
A critique of the potential of industrial districts for local and regional development in the present period is developed. It focuses particularly on the influential arguments being put forward by Piore and Sabel and by Scott and Storper. The authors argue against a simple and totalising theory of localised agglomerations, and suggest that contemporary processes of structural change are in fact more complex and contradictory. The new industrial spaces of economic development are in reality quite heterogeneous and are of limited significance in the face of powerful tendencies towards accelerating economic concentration and integration at a global, rather than local, level.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
