About this title

Synopsis

This book is mainly about the ?flexible production? debates, which were introduced by the 1970s and are still concerned in various scientific disciplines. The debate has been considered not only as concerns of the transformations within the production, but also in parallel to the holistic transformation of the capitalist system. The fundamental emphasis has been on the fact that capitalism is a historical system and on its relations with ?industrial production? and ?industrialization? processes. The book has focused on the spatial relations of flexible production debates at the city and regional levels, and highlighted the transformation on/of space throughout the transition processes. By means of a comprehensive case study on the changes in the spatial organizations of Turkey and on locational distribution of industry in relation to flexible production processes, it has been emphasized that space has a major role in current economic and social changes; and furthermore, that the experienced transformations are quite related with the successes in the urban and spatial organizations.
