Title: The Evolutionary Economic Geography of Regional Economic Development in Asia
Abstract: The paper will review representations of regional development models in terms of their assumptions (peeled away like an onion) and in terms of their level of complexity, very much in the tradition of Peter Allen's classification system. Some applied models of regional economic development in Asia will be presented in more detail and compared to each other in terms of their ability to understand development and to gain knowledge about real world problem solutions. The paper shows with examples how complex systems of the kind using economic geography, can be used effectively in policy making in a very specific set of geographies. These new approaches capture economic restructuring across geographies in a way that they offer policy choice hitherto unseen and unrecognizable.
