Regional Systems of Innovation in Latin America

Chapter 16 in The Local Alternative, 2011, pp 237-238 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Given the pressures of state reform, democratization, and an increasingly competitive global economy, regions and cities are becoming the cornerstone of economic and social development. The changeable commercial and technological standards of the world economy put great pressure on subnational entities to create and maintain their competitive advantage. Knowledge-based industries and services play an ever-more critical role, one that makes the skills (such as human and knowledge capital) and entrepreneurial ability of the people a crucial part of maintaining and elevating standards of living, as well as creating sustainable local economies.
