Abstract

Most, if not all, industrial development in the history of advanced countries and in the developing world is based on the development of industrial districts. A unique feature of this edited volume is to compare the development of industrial districts in the history of Japan, Spain, France, other European countries as well as contemporary developing countries, including China, Bangladesh, and Tanzania. More similarities than dissimilarities are found in the role played by international technology transfer in stimulating innovation, which is an engine of development for industrial districts across a large number of cases. Also commonly found are critical roles played by producer cooperatives and local as well as central governments in internalizing benefits of Marshallian agglomeration economies. After all, this volume demonstrates the importance of collaboration between economic historians and development economists for a deeper understanding of the development process of industrial districts.
