Résumé / Abstract
TIS CHAPTER ATTEMPTS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE RECURRING DEBATE ON THE DETERMINANTS OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE PARTICULAR ROLE OF TRANSPORT SYSTEMS. ITS WILL LOOK INTO THE DIFFICULTIES OF SOME OF THE MAIN APPROACHES OF THE ROLE OF TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT IN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ESTABLISH A CLEARCUT AND ROBUST CORRELATION. WE WILL THEN INTRODUCE A NEW FRAMEWORK DRAWING ON THE NETWORK APPROACH OF PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. BY INTRODUCING SPACE INTO THIS NETWORK FRAMEWORK, WE DEMONSTRATE THAT THESE INTERACTIONS RELY ON COMBINATIONS OF SEVERAL FORMS OF PROXIMITY, DERIVED FROM THE CENTRAL CONCEPT OF 'ORGANIZATIONAL PROXIMITY'. THE CIRCULATORY DIMENSION OF PROXIMITY WILL BE ANALYSED IN A MORE DETAILED MANNER IN ORDER TO CONCEPTUALIZE THE ROLE OF THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM AS A FACTOR OF PROXIMITY. (In LI-SH0293).
