Industrial districts in the development of Tuscany / Giacomo Becattini -- The 'Tuscan model' and recent trends / Fabio Sforzi -- The past in the present : Prato's people / Giacomo Becattini -- The governance of transactions in the industrial district : the 'community market' / Gabi Dei Ottati -- The incentives to decentralised industrial creativity in local systems of small firms / Marco Bellandi -- Trust, interlinking transactions and credit in the industrial district / Gabi Dei Ottati -- On entrepreneurship, region and the constitution of scale and scope economies / Marco Bellandi -- Local development in the experience of Italian industrial districts / Fabio Sforzi -- Local governance and industrial districts' competitive advantage / Gabi Dei Ottati -- The multiple paths of local development / Marco Bellandi and Fabio Sforzi -- Towards a geographical redefinition of the form of the state / Giacomo Becattini.
This text brings together a selection of papers generated by the "Florence School" of Becattini, Bellandi, Ottati (all U. of Florence) and Sforzi (U. of Turin) over the past 20 years. They explore the industrial district, as both a general and an open framework for modeling local development, and as a significant element in the recent history of Italian industrialization. The framework is rooted in the Marshallian concept of territorial external economies, which the authors link to classical economic theory
