This volume presents the results of a research project conducted by the author in 2018-2021 during the Ph.D. program in Global Studies at the University of Urbino (Italy). The volume examines how knowledge flows influence and provoke changes in clustering processes by taking a public-private interaction perspective and adopting a business network approach.
