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. 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 14$aRegional/Spatial Science. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 676 $a330 676 $a330.9 676 $a338.9 700 $aSeravalli$b Gilberto$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$081894 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298487303321 996 $aAn Introduction to Place-Based Development Economics and Policy$92495557 997 $aUNINA
