Abstract: Abstract Cluster studies are now common in economic geography and regional science. These studies have added significantly to our knowledge of the processes behind economic development and industrial location. However, many of these studies have suffered from a tendency to pay little attention to external relations that may exist between particular clusters and other regions. The predominant focus on the endogenous drivers of development and the dynamics of intra-cluster interdependencies has therefore been at the expense of exploring the connection between clustering and the observed fragmentation of economic value chains. However, the alternative of focusing excessively on vague notions of globalization and manufacturing outsourcing are more damaging, distracting attention away from the continuing economic advantages of real places.
