Abstract: Brenner T. and Mühlig A. Factors and mechanisms causing the emergence of local industrial clusters: a summary of 159 cases, Regional Studies . Local industrial clusters have attracted much attention in the recent economic and geographical literature. A huge number of case studies have been conducted. This paper presents an analysis of case studies for 159 local industrial clusters in various countries and industries. The involvement of thirty-four different local conditions and processes is studied, providing a summary of the knowledge that is gathered in the case studies with a comparison between continents, developed and developing countries, new and old clusters, and high- and low-technology industries.
