The starting point for the analysis is that economic development in lagging places is not to be expected as the result of a mechanism of automatic convergence between backward and advanced regions and that, therefore, the most appropriate development policy is not to maximize competition among all agents in all sectors and places. The failure of the Washington Consensus is examined, and the two competing positions to have emerged from this failure – spatially blind interventions and place-based policies – are contrasted. The main shortcoming of spatially blind policies, namely that immobile resources that could trigger or support a development process often remain untapped or “trapped”, is emphasized. The limitations of the “big push” state intervention and wage flexibility solutions to this trap are analyzed and the merits of place-based policies that support intervention and can deal with uncertainty, risk and conflict are discussed.Regional economicsSpace in economicsDevelopment economicsEconomic geographyEconomic policyRegional/Spatial Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Economic Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Regional economics.Space in economics.Development economics.Economic geography.Economic policy.Regional/Spatial Science.Development Economics.Economic Geography.Economic Policy.330330.9338.9Seravalli Gilbertoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut81894BOOK9910298487303321An Introduction to Place-Based Development Economics and Policy2495557UNINA
