The A. examines the circumstances under which proximity is important to assemblers and suppliers in the South Korean auto industry. He analyzes the power relations between the national state, assemblers as the chaebol, and suppliers and offers
a multifaceted causal analysis of suppliers's spatial patterns. Suppliers who transact with several assemblers are more powerful in their markets and freer in their location decisions than are dedicated suppliers and prefer remaining in the Seoul metropolitan

The application of location theory to the problem of industrial centralization in Latin American countries provides a framework within which some of the processes that have caused and are causing the centralization of industry in Latin American
economies can be identified. Location theory is held to have two distinctive traditions what could be termed the normative and behavioural approaches. Theoretical contributions of each of these traditions are then applied to the problem of centralization
of industry in Latin America. The analysis predicts increasing industrial concentration and the likelihood that big city growth will continue apace during the next decade.

a stronger positive effect on their location choice, while for firms with high technological capability knowledge externalities from co-located firms from related and complementary industries, or complementary specialization, more strongly influence
their location choice. Furthermore, the differential effect of agglomeration economies between low- and high-capability firms is more pronounced in industries with strong non-legal appropriability, implying that firms can use their location choice as a strategic
This paper examines the technological capability, agglomeration economies and firm location. It founds that for firms with low technological capability knowledge externalities from co-located competitors, or competitive specialization, have

important effects upon location as well. Such changes have imposed greater spatial restrictions and these have been acutely felt in the container branch of the industry.
Areal specialization and increasing concentration into fewer but larger units of manufacture have been characteristic features of the development of the British glass industry. These trends have been particularly apparent in the flat glass branch
, with the total dominance of Pilkington's in St Helens. Means of transportation, both of materials and products, and proximity to consumption points have been significant economic factors in the changing locational patterns. Technical innovations have had

Structural change and the spatial distribution of industry in Belorussia
Locational shifts in industry occurred within the republic as Belorussia experienced significant development in the post-war period. Intraoblast industrial disparities have tended to increase as industrialization filtered down the urban hierarchy
from the republic capital to the oblast centers. These locational shifts, as well as the structural changes in industry experienced by the oblasts, suggest the United States.
