Chapter 4 in Clusters and Cluster Policy Models, 2025, pp 79-118 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter introduces a comprehensive analysis of cluster models in developed countries, offering a profound understanding of the varied cluster ecosystems that significantly contribute to regional and national economic advancements. By focusing on detailed case studies from the United States, Canada, France, South Korea, and Poland, the analysis delves into the different approaches these countries adopt toward cluster formation and development, shedding light on their distinctive strategies and outcomes. Each country's approach offers unique insights into the multifaceted nature of cluster policies and their impacts on national and regional economic performances. By comparing these diverse approaches, the chapter aims to explain the complex interplay between government policies, market conditions, and entrepreneurial activities in shaping the landscape of economic clusters in developed countries. This comparative analysis highlights the critical role of clusters in promoting economic growth and helps understand how different institutional frameworks can influence the effectiveness and direction of cluster development policies.
