The second edition of this book represents a re-editing and in some cases signi- cant rewriting of the original book published in 2001. Substantial editing occurred and new material has been included in the introductory chapter and in Chap. 10, the concluding chapter. The reason for this was to bring forward to 2006 the ori- nal thesis of the book about the need for regions to be prepared to experience - creasingly greater shocks and to have increasingly less time to respond in adju- ing their economic development to achieve sustainability. Events that have occurred over the past five years - such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks, continuing the rapid advances in technology, the rise of sustained economic growth in China and beginning to unfold in India, the Indonesian Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina devas- tion in New Orleans, the invasion of Iraq and continued unrest in the Middle East represents on-going and unforeseen risks and new challenges which continue to confront and impact nations around the globe and the regions and localities within them. Regions need to be fast and flexible and agile in order to be not only expe- tiously adaptive to change, but also to be proactive in developing strategies to - dress and shape their futures. In addition, some significant new material has been added to the other chapters to reflect recent advances in thinking and approaches to regional economic dev- opment analysis and planning strategy.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: "The second edition of Stimson, Stough and Roberts Regional economic development is aimed primarily at students, researchers, or public policy-makers who are actively involved in the nuts and bolts of local or regional economic development. ! In terms of its objectives the book is an invaluable asset, providing as it does an ideal volume for both teaching and strategy development ! . I myself am currently using this book for teaching students ! . I recommend others to do the same." (Philip McCann, Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 88 (3), August, 2009)
