Global Restructuring and Territorial Development or SELECT Series

Global Restructuring and Territorial Development

Author: Jeffrey Henderson

This original collection builds towards a new theory of spatial development, in the context of a new and dynamic era of capitalism. Economic restructuring is no longer limited to the nation-state, but is now seen on a global level. The distinguished contributors to this volume examine global economic dynamics and place these dynamics in their historical context. Throughout, specific studies present evidence and sketch the contours and dynamics of this new socio-territorial world. This exceptional work makes an important contribution to our understanding of both the processes of global restructuring and their consequences for urban and regional development. It will be essential reading for scholars and students in sociology, economics, political science, human geography, planning, urban and regional studies, and development studies. "This work makes a contribution to our understanding of both the processes of global restructuring and their consequences for urban and regional development." --Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society
