Abstract

According to the theories of flexible production/specialisation and strongly connected industrial districts, a new wave of economic growth is being led in a number of regions in advanced economies by spatially concentrated networks using flexible production technology and characterized by extensive local inter-firm linkages. On the basis of the relevant literature, this paper tries to assess the value of both concepts regarding their applicability as theories of regional development. Three criteria are used to evaluate the concepts. First, causality is investigated concerning their basic hypotheses. Second, it is questioned whether the basic hypotheses are transferable to all industries and types of regions. In order to test for empirical validity, a third group of aspects will be discussed around the question of quality and quantity of empirical studies upon industrial districts. Fourth, the potential for policy conclusions is in the centre of interest. -from English summary
