Wie lassen sich Standorte durch Clusterpolitik gestalten?

The importance of cluster policy is still very high in Germany. Especially today, when the coronavirus pandemic is putting cities and regions under economic pressure, places are having to compete with others more than ever to achieve new growth. Using an ex-post perspective of the case studies Dortmund, Dresden and the Hanover region, this book systematically highlights the modes of operation, development corridors and potential of cluster policy over about two decades. From agenda setting to policy transformation, divergent and uniform patterns in the policy cycle become apparent. In addition to theoretical classifications, the book also provides practical findings for this young, fluid policy area.
