The dynamics of local upgrading in globalizing latecomer regions: a geographical analysis
Abstract
<p>The dynamics of local upgrading in globalizing latecomer regions: a geographical analysis. <i>Regional Studies</i>. By noting the spatial-less nature of the mainstream studies of industrial upgrading, this paper theorizes how local upgrading is affected by geographical heterogeneity at different scales in relation to three spatial factors: location, regional conditions and global competitive dynamics. In doing so, it argues that local firms can take advantage of these factors to access more resources for industrial upgrading instead of choosing from the limited options offered by previous studies such as state intervention or indigenous innovation. Three cases in the Pearl River Delta in China are presented to illustrate these local dynamics.</p- Text
