This book challenges conventional perspectives by emphasizing the historical and geographical contexts within which industrial change unfolds, and by focusing on the formal and informal rules—both tacit and codified—that shape economic life. Drawing from the evolving frameworks of institutional embeddedness, the book argues that understanding the economic and spatial transformations of the last two decades requires a deep appreciation for institutional dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey themes explored include the re-theorization of industrial districts, the impact of institutional ‘thickness’ versus rigidity, and the effects of new regulatory bodies and their policies on regional economies. It further investigates how removing institutions from their originating contexts can alter their effectiveness and meaning, and it proposes new pathways for achieving more balanced and equitable regional development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy marrying economic geography with institutional theory, the authors offer an innovative framework for scholars, policymakers, and planners looking to make sense of the economic and spatial challenges of the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrevor J.
