“…These papers are mostly empirical but mainly use quantitative methodologies (De Propris & Wei, 2007;Clifton et al, 2010). The opposite occurs for papers authored by USA scholars as they are overwhelming conceptual and provide theories to model industrial district governance (Powell, 1990;Gereffi & Lee, 2016). Figure 6 shows the rankings of top ten articles by number of citations per year (Furrer et al, 2008) and summarizes their main elements in terms of period, type and focus.…”

“…In fact, many of these elements are widely debated within the research as an issue of districts' and networks' governance (Schmitz & Nadvi, 1999;Nelson & Pritchand, 2009;Hemmati, 2002;Gereffi & Lee, 2016). Rather, within the definition of a process, articulated in pre-conditions, conditions, and phases of implementation, appears the distinctive element of this approach that can represent a guarantor function, so that choices can be taken and implemented in the interest of all.…”
