Critics Review
‘As the concept of resilience becomes further entrenched into the academic and policy discourse around regional economic development, this edited volume provides a timely summary of the current state of the art. The book serves as an excellent entry point for scholars and policy makers wishing to understand the various conceptualizations, measurements, and evidence surrounding the concept of regional economic resilience as well as a wealth of ideas as to future developments in the field.’ – Andrew Johnston, Eurasian Geography and Economics‘Resilience is a now a significant concept that helps us explain why regions can weather economic shocks. This Handbook draws together a team of leading scholars, exploring the role and impact of shocks on the economic development trajectories of regions. It represents an excellent gateway for those seeking to understand the theories, measurement and analysis of regional economic resilience.’ –Robert Huggins, Cardiff University, UK
