Abstract
Cluster studies are now common in economic geography and regional science. These studies have added significantly to our knowledge of the processes behind economic development and industrial location. However, many of these studies have suffered from a tendency to pay little attention to external relations that may exist between particular clusters and other regions. The predominant focus on the endogenous drivers of development and the dynamics of intra-cluster interdependencies has therefore been at the expense of exploring the connection between clustering and the observed fragmentation of economic value chains. However, the alternative of focusing excessively on vague notions of globalization and manufacturing outsourcing are more damaging, distracting attention away from the continuing economic advantages of real places.
This chapter emerged from the first author’s doctoral research program at the University of Western Sydney with preliminary data presented at the Regional Science Association International 2004 World Congress 14–17 April 2004, Port Elizabeth, South Africa. His contribution to this chapter was written while he was a visiting scholar with the Centre for Policy Research on Science and Technolgy, Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver.
