Books by Philip Cooke

An analysis of the relative strengths of global bioregions, this book investigates the growing phenomena of biotechnology and sets this study within a knowledge economy context. It unifies concepts from the sociology of science, economic sociology and evolutionary economic geography to focus on the problems and prospects for policy agencies.

This book adds to this growing body of scholarship on the Italian Resistance by analysing, for the first time, how the 'three wars' are represented over the broad spectrum of Resistance culture from 1945 to the present day.

Illustrated by data and 'stylized' accounts, this work charts the evolution of knowledge economies, questioning the way in which they work, criticizing accepted theories and informing how places can cope in the knowledge economy.

This book traces the theoretical explanation for clusters back to the work of classical economists and their more modern disciples who saw economic development as a process involving serious imbalances in the exploitation of resources.
