商品描述

The book examines the challenges that local, regional, national, and global value chains at different levels pose to territorial development. Rethinking and developing urban and regional spaces require new understanding and research methods in economic geography. This is achieved by exploring how value chains influence and address territorial development. It is argued that territorial development is closely connected to local control of production networks, especially concerning social and environmental sustainability. This argument is supported by ten case studies from various countries (Argentina, Ecuador, the United States, and several from Spain or authored by Spanish scholars). The chapters offer readers a chance to explore the different elements that make up value chains. The book also provides an opportunity to understand the usefulness of value chains in relation to current economic geography dynamics. The case studies employ both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, covering various sectors and economic activities across different geographical scales (local, regional, national, and cross-national cases). The findings are particularly relevant for urban and regional development planning. This publication targets an audience familiar with new trends in economic geography and other social sciences.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了不同層級的地方、區域、國家和全球價值鏈對區域發展所帶來的挑戰。重新思考和發展城市及區域空間需要在經濟地理學上有新的理解和研究方法。這是通過探索價值鏈如何影響和解決區域發展來實現的。書中主張，區域發展與地方對生產網絡的控制密切相關，特別是在社會和環境可持續性方面。這一論點得到了來自不同國家的十個案例研究的支持（阿根廷、厄瓜多爾、美國，以及幾個來自西班牙或由西班牙學者撰寫的案例）。各章節為讀者提供了探索構成價值鏈的不同元素的機會。本書還提供了理解價值鏈在當前經濟地理動態中實用性的機會。案例研究採用了定性和定量的方法，涵蓋了不同地理尺度（地方、區域、國家和跨國案例）中的各個行業和經濟活動。研究結果對城市和區域發展規劃特別相關。本出版物的目標讀者是熟悉經濟地理學及其他社會科學新趨勢的群體。
