OverviewThis timely Handbook addresses one of the most pertinent questions of the 21st century: why are some regions more economically resilient than others? Contributors provide a state-of-the-art collection on the meaning of resilience when applied to regional economies, offering a range of methodological approaches and rich empirical analyses of regions around the world. Chapters feature in depth examinations of regional resilience in such fields as policy practice, exports, economic shocks and supranational structural funds. Giving readers an insight into ways in which economic resilience is measured, this Handbook explores key theoretical debates and emerging pathways for the application of resilience in policy and practice. Comprehensive and deeply informative, this Handbook is crucial to researchers working in economic geography and regional studies who require insight into the breadth of debate on regional economic resilience. Practitioners and policy makers working in regional economic development will also benefit from its broad empirical approach to resilience. Contributors include: P. Benczur, E. Beqiraj, G.
