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.
