schema:description"The underlying theme of this book is the impact of the increasing globalization of economic activity, and the advent of the knowledge-based economy, on the spatial distribution of economic activity, both between countries and within countries. More especially, it seeks to reconcile the paradox of ʹslippery spaceʹ, as demonstrated by the growing transnationalization of the production of goods and services, and that of ʹsticky placesʹ as shown by the increasing tendency for certain kinds of economic activity -- and particularly knowledge-intensive activities -- to be concentrated, or clustered, in limited spatial areas. These twin forces, both of which have been separately identified and extensively analysed in the literature, may be considered as opposite sides of the same spatial coin."
