Summary, etc. Through an examination of the spatial aspects of technical change in North America and Western Europe, this volume explores the social and economic implications of such change and its significance for policy at regional, national and international levels.<br/>Part I provides the geographical and historical context and examines the conceptual and practical difficulties involved in evaluating the place of technical change in the world economic system.<br/>Part II looks at the way in which rapid technological development since 1960 has caused restructuring in the oil-refining, iron, steel and motor vehicle manufacturing industries, showing that 'maturity' and obsolescence' are not necessarily synonymous. It also demonstrates the need to adopt a definition which includes innovation in both the manufacturing process and in the organization of production, particularly where it affects the use of labour.<br/>Part III provides studies of the impact of technical change on industrial and regional development policies. There are critical reviews of the role of several high-tech' industries, including aerospace and electronics, in achieving these policies. The folly of neglecting the positive contribution that can be made by technical change in mature industries such as forest products and textiles, is also persuasively argued.
