After the Three Italies provides a novel synthesis of the literature on convergence and the new economic geography, and develops a new political economy approach to the analysis of the territorial division of labour.

Produktbeschreibung
After the Three Italies provides a novel synthesis of the literature on convergence and the new economic geography, and develops a new political economy approach to the analysis of the territorial division of labour. New theoretical and methodological approaches are exemplified through an up-to-date account of Italy's economic performance and of its recent development relative to other European countries and the rest of the world. Grounded also in the animated recent discussion of Italian development, and drawing on the results of recent ESRC-funded research, as well as on a large range of official data sets, the authors provide a new and more complex picture of Italian industrial change and regional economic performance.

Rezensionen
"In their analytically original study, Dunford and Greco show thatItaly today is divided predominantly into two regions (north andsouth) and that the development path of each region mustnecessarily be understood in relation to that of the other. Thesefindings have major significance for political-economic geographywell beyond the Italian case."
--John Agnew, University of California, LosAngeles

"A welcome and detailed dissection of the changing geography ofeconomic growth and decline in Italy, that demonstrates theimportance and theoretical value of understanding the dynamicmicro-foundations of regional economic change."
--Professor Peter Sunley, School of Geography, University ofSouthampton

"The book is, in sum a good example of theoretically informedempirical research in economic geography, which is aware of andinspired by but also not unconditionally adhering to the dominanttheories and approaches in the discipline ... The book by Dunford& Greco is one of these attempts aiming to bring togetherempirical analysis of regional economies and the social critique ofglobal capitalism. The authors have accomplished this difficulttask in a brilliant way and for this reason their book isultimately recommended reading not only to those interested inissues of regional development in Southern Europe but moregenerally to all practitioners of economic geography and relateddisciplines."
--Royal Dutch Geographical Society
