Dear Socnet members,
Edward Elgar has just published the following book:

The book includes a first theoretical part, discussing the use of the network methodology to analyse economic systems and economic development, and a second applied part, analysing regional productive systems. There is also a discussion about the relationship between social capital and economic development. In general, the book is structured as follows:
1.- Introduction
2.- The Network Perspective and the Concept of Productive System
3.- Data Characteristics and Methods Explanation
4.- Regional Productive Structures and Production Systems
