an article by Matthew Cocks (University of Birmingham, UK) published in Local Economy Volume 31 Number 6 (2016)
Abstract
Since the 1970s urban localities in advanced capitalist nations have taken a more central role in
their economic development. This urban ‘entrepreneurialism’ has taken place within the context
of an increasingly place-competitive international economy, and has been the subject of substantial
academic study.
However, there has been a lack of consideration for the role of export promotion
in this process.
This article suggests that export promotion is an increasingly significant but often
overlooked component of entrepreneurial strategies, and draws upon a study of export promotion
activities in the UK’s regions in relation to the emerging Chinese economy.
