Description :
The paper rejects the new industrial district, in either its Marshallian or Italianate form, as the dominant paradigmatic solution. The A. identifies three additional types of industrial districts: a hub-and-spoke district; a satellite platform; and the state-anchored district. The strengths and weaknesses of each are reviewed. The findings suggest that the study of industrial districts requires a broader institutional approach and must encompass embeddedness across district boundaries.
