The uneven geographical distribution of economic activities is a huge challenge worldwide and also for the European Union. In Krugman's New Economic Geography economic systems have a simple spatial structure. This book shows that more sophisticated models should visualise the EU as an evolving trade network with a specific topology and different aggregation levels.

At the lowest level, individual decisions interact with the economic, social and institutional environment; the focus is on firms' decision on location and innovation.
