- Abstract
The past two decades have witnessed an enormous scholarly and policy interest in regional clusters. A large body of work has focused attention on explaining why clusters exist and what the main characteristics of ‘functioning’ or fully developed clusters are. While there is a rich literature on existing clusters, relatively little has been said so far about how clusters emerge, change and develop over time. There is, however, a growing recognition of the need to develop dynamic perspectives to gain insights into long-term cluster evolution and change (see, for instance, Bergman 2008; Menzel and Fornahl 2010).
