Food Security and Industrial Clustering in Northeast Asia

This book integrates diversified methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, regional science, and related fields to draw up a strategy for forming the regional food industrial cluster in Northeast Asia. This is done by assigning innovation to a core concept, with the basic problem of food security as the horizontal axis and the areas of Northeast Asia as the vertical axis. Specifically, the principle of collaborative advantage as a key factor is extracted from case studies on food industrial clustering in each area. As a final objective, a practical policy recommendation is presented while the theorization of the industrial cluster is developed. Therefore it is also a challenge to the old and new issue of food security which has been argued until now.
