It studies cluster dynamics in transition economies, exploring the case of Albania. In developing countries, the 'model' of the developed countries, is often seen as the endpoint of a trajectory that must be followed meticulously, implying a view on modernization as a linear and uniform process. They tend to import policies from these 'success models' showing minimal regard to their context and institutional capabilities; therefore, more often than not, such policies show little effectiveness. This research on cluster policies in Albania confirms this. It suggests that in Albania there is a need to revise the way of thinking about clusters, considering them first and foremost as relational networks, instead of physically bound industrial districts. While there is questioning of top-down policies and the national innovation systems prerogative, the suggested model by this research, in line with some of the most recent policy frameworks, advocates the need for flexibility, bottom-up initiatives and place-based approaches. By means of conclusion, the book comes up with an alternative model of territorial policies for cluster development, shifting from 'static' towards 'dynamic' planning. 001435282 650_0 $$aEconomic geography. 001435282 650_0 $$aUrban economics. 001435282 650_0 $$aRegional economics. 001435282 650_0 $$aSpace in economics. 001435282 650_0 $$aGeography. 001435282 650_6 $$aGéographie économique. 001435282 650_6 $$aÉconomie urbaine. 001435282 650_6 $$aÉconomie régionale. 001435282 650_6 $$aEspace (Économie politique) 001435282 650_6 $$aGéographie. 001435282 651_0 $$aAlbania$$xEconomic policy$$y1992- 001435282 651_0 $$aAlbania$$xEconomic conditions$$y1992- 001435282 651_6 $$aAlbanie$$xPolitique économique$$y1992- 001435282 651_6 $$aAlbanie$$xConditions économiques$$y1992- 001435282 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001435282 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783030698416 001435282 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783030698430 001435282 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in geography,$$x2211-4165 001435282 852__ $$bebk 001435282 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-69842-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001435282 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1435282$$pGLOBAL_SET 001435282 980__ $$aBIB 001435282 980__ $$aEBOOK 001435282 982__ $$aEbook 001435282 983__ $$aOnline 001435282 994__ $$a92$$bISE
